This is just something I have thought about from time to time. Guess I like history [military history] and time travel novels to much
Looking for ideas for "low tec" weapons.
I think short stabbing swords with shield/bucklers and some body armor for point guys backed by cross bows or short spears.
Then again a heavily armored point man might do well also, since most weapons designed to defeat heavy armor require some room to wield.
Also on a related note: what non gun type weapon would be at least potentially usefull in modern world? Only type of armor one would have to worry about would be kevlar vests so short swords and such would have some utility at typical self defense ranges, not so?
