karlunity Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I see nothing wrong with a bow or sword....I never had the skill or chance to use one in battle but I would have liked to. Just because... karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken98k Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Lucky for him he was in the European theater. It might have been a much different story had he tried his stunts with a sword savy Japanese officer. He would have got the samurai chop.

AzRednek Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Posted 08 July 2014 - 06:19 PMI think the Hmong used them in Vietnam. I had one of their crossbows. A former co-worker said he took a crossbow from what he claimed was a dead Russian advisor in Nam. Don't know if it was a typical war story. He claimed he led several CIA Agents back to where the Russian was killed but the body was gone. He claimed the CIA wanted to know if the Russian was a downed pilot or involved in some kind of clandestine activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
