-Major league players put their entire bodies into swing. Pick up a fucking bat and play with it and say you couldn't compromise a person your same size who is trying to get close enough to deliver a debilitating stab. -How the hell does he get so close? Swing and move, its easy. Doesn't require super knife sliding upslashing bruce lee shit. -Consider how getting hit with a 10lb medicine ball sets off your balance. Now consider the leverage you get from this bat combined with snappy swing. -Why does it matter how many times you can swing compared to a stab? This point is moot. REMEMBER WHAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE FIRST POST, ASSUME YOUR OPPONENT IS YOURSELF. | ||

You can shatter a bone. But where are you planning on hitting them? It's life or death situation, no ones just gonna curl up because extreme pain wacked them somewhere on the body. Guys in the major leagues have recovery time after they've swung a bat, after all. And their forearms are like tree trunks and they're built to run the second they swing. But you still see them follow through. And it's not about having strength to stop the weight of the bat. It's about having strength to stop the momentum, efficiently and in time. And once a guy is between your arms, the hell are you going to do with a bat? Hit him on the back of the head at an awkward angle with 1 arm? The guy with the knife would leave injured, but once you're stabbed twice or more you're very likely going to be a lot worse off from a guy who can then bide his time and retreat until your wounds are too much. Any guy with a knife can be quick and agile. Even a straight and quick lunge with the body is easier & faster to bounce back than with the momentum of swinging a heavy object. And regardless of how strong you are, do you think you can swing a bat twice by the time someone stabs 3 times? Kick? As Richard Pryor said, people in life stab awkwardly. You'd probably get your leg cut as he avoids a clumsy kick because you just swung a fucking bat and are already off balance. Edit: Those that say bat are bad strategically at bw. I'm calling it. Ok since obviously we cant have medical attention you will die from a broken arm too i guess and if you really think you wont fall over from getting hit in your arm you are retarded. I bet if it was a hockey stick you would say its better than a knife | ||

Side Knife: -The knife can deliver a fatal stab to the chest/gut or slash a throat. -The knife is lighter and faster. Side Bat: -The bat has superior range, allowing you to pre-empt the knife user. Now, the arguments that seem to be disputed. Side Knife: -Bat blows are not fatal, if parried or 'toughed out' you can deliver a fatal attack during bat recoil. -The knife user can easily approach the bat wielder for he will be rendered clumbsy by the bat. Side Bat: -Bats are easy to swing and move with. -A bat blow is sufficient to cause a person to lose balance. I'm trying to be as unbiased a possibly, but the knife's theory seems dubious at best. | ||

Now which weapon would you take: A single butterfly knife ![[image loading]](http://img.alibaba.com/photo/50389225/Butterfly_Knife.jpg) or a standard Louisville slugger. ![[image loading]](http://live.universal-collectibles.com/images_dealer02/67038-1.jpg) Each weapon is to be used against the other weapon. Please explain your answers. edit: I don't know how to make a poll Butterfly knife FTW. The bat will NOT kill anybody quickly enough. The knife, on the other hand, will dominate. If you get at least a couple of swipes in, the guy bleeds, gets weak, and you stab him at a weak point. GG -_-;;; | ||

We have to find two crazies who are roughly the same size to settle it. We should get the guys from jackass to figure this out. That or we should sign a bill that really, really crazy people are allowed to be used as test subjects for extremely important arguments such as this on television. Nation asks: "What vs what" then they have to have a poll to see if people agree 50/50. It's got a George Carlin-esque feel to it. Yeah, we should prisoners too. | ||

Athleticism has little to do with pitching skills. Pitching skills is mostly proper form and practice. Clearly, Boxer has never played much baseball in his life due to soccer and SC. | ||

That's an awesome idea~ Who knows where we can get two test subjects? It's a scientific experiment after all. I'm sure lots of people would gladly do this. | ||

If Sammy Sosa had a bat, and Sammy Sosa had a knife... that might be more interesting. I think the average joe, and still even most athletes would rather have a knife. ;p | ||

But if it was two really fat people fighting, then I'd pick the bat too. That would be disgusting, actually... | ||
