Question? Am I one on one, or in rank and file? There would be a great difference!

hmmm..say for both,or overall. id like my katana in one on one better. my sword spear/spear with long tip would be better if i had friends to help me...ok,this for both. unless i was inside,then my katana...your right,all about situation....go with whatever


Either way, I guess I'm gonna take a cross bow, I'd take a English long bow, but I'm not sure how accurate I would be, I haven't shot a regular bow in about 10 years. I'm fast so you'll never catch me with your sword or whatever.

Not really composite bows made from different materials have been around for centuries. Compound bows with the wheels and such are new tech.

Real repeater crossbows are very lackluster, no range and no punch.

A crossbow combines power and accuracy, though at the expense of range usually.


No crossbows have great range. What they sacrifice is loading time. They take a long time to reset.
