    Lots of martial arts have a weapon training.
    Lots of people who said that is because they doesnt know how to use a weapon, they feel inpotent, and calm their angry with that affirmation.

    Even a sniper is strong. you have the life of the man in your sight under your finger.is too much pressure, and they are Very, Very strong.

    In the World War 2, if you werent so strong, you entered in a senseless state due to pression, for not being strong.

    I hope this answers your question.

    Remember: A Rocket Laucher kills his user too if he is weak.

    They are full of crap. Weapons are for the smart. Any advantage you can have over an opponent or any tool that aids you in a fight or battle is good. Being it paint can or a fighter jet.

    No, generally they just have some form of sociopathy or something similar that makes them capable of disconnecting as they pull the trigger. Nothing to do with strength of will. Everything to do with careful training.

    Actually the shelling in World War II would put anyone into shellshock (not quite a senseless state, there's more to it than that), strength of will had very little to do with it.

    I don't see what strength has to do with misfiring a rocket launcher, sometimes the misfire on their own. I mean, if you're not strong enough to hold one then even if you drop it you're not going to be killed by it.

    Weapons are tools.

    I see where the guy is coming from but I'd still disagree with him. A guy who uses a weapon is no weaker than someone who plays the piano, they're both just objects that perform certain functions.

    Weapons are tools for hurting people. Weapons put the martial in "martial art".:)

    Weapons are just another tool, in the martial arts as are your feet, fists, elbows ect. It sounds like whomever said that is rather pompous.

    Name one war or battle that was fought without weapons.

    Name one soldier that refused to carry a weapon because it was for the weak....

    weapons are like an extension of your self if might not be as effective if you cant use it just like a kick cant be as effective if you cant do it

    LOL:woo: :woo: :woo:

    I was thinking about this and decided if some one wants to call me weak for using a weapon had either be really fast or greatly surpass me in MA. Weapons are for the smart. If it can be used to keep some one away from me while allowing me to injure them its a good thing. Its like one the Everything can be a weapon thread. Tai-gip was talking aobut how he easily cause grievous bodily harm unarmed, and another MAPer said thats a really good reason to use a weapon. To keep people who can crush your ribs with a kick. If they cant get close enough to kick you without losing parts of their anatomy while you stay safe I dont see any problem.

    I tend to agree with Cudgel on this one.

    A weapon is merely an extension of your body designed [hopefully] to keep the attacker away from you thus minimising damage to yourself.

    It is neither for the weak or to give you godlike powers, it is just a tool, nothing more.
