Guns. I would probably more specifically collect massive amounts of pistols, purely for the joy of being able to wield two at once should the situation ever arise.

(I am well aware that this is stupid, and not a viable battle tactic.)

I prefer swords, so thats big knives?

Still prefer knives as they can be far more decorative than a gun can (as the functionality of a gun hinders sections of its operation)

Plus I dont have a license
You sir have obviously never come across collectible guns, most are far more ornate then anything you will find in the collectible edged weapons section.


And that was just a few pictures I found with a quick google search, I happen to have some very nice showpiece guns myself.
Very sexeh, although I'm not sure I would have chosen to use a cheap pocket knife to prop up a display piece. But y'know, that's just me.

I would like to collect guns, but I think the UK government would take issue with me collecting breech-loading direct fire weapons. So knives it is.

In other news? I'm goddamned pedantic.
Yeah, I should have thought of this; I forgot that the UK is way stricter on gun ownership than the US. But does the government not make a distinction between show pieces and regular run-of-the-mill weaponry?
Ok, so its mainly because I *dont* have a license... but in saying that, its also harder to ship a gun *into* the country than a knife.

That and most of the guns around where I live are working guns - so they arent ornate but are very functional...

I like swords and I like guns. If thou hast a problem with that, I shall see thee on the field of honor, where we will bring our weapons and...discuss it like two gentlemen, because I hate duels.

Knives without a doubt they look cooler, there isn't any politically correctiveness behind buying them and plus you can display them in your living room and people know not to mess with you...and there's better designing ship behind them

I perfer knives, for a few reasons, the first being I've never liked guns. Guns are a clumsy, random weapon that a child can pick up and kill indiscriminatly. Knives require training, practice, and finesse to use appropriately. Knives give you options, the choice to disarm, disable, or destroy your target, and the control to go as far as you need to to elimate the threat. Guns are rather limited in their abilities as they can only shoot, or apply blunt force if you hit someone with it.

Although, that being said, I won't be the one to bring a knife to a gunfight. If someone sticks a gun at me, I'll bide my time and do what I need to to survive.

I've never like knives. Particularly when someone started waving a particularly large hunting knife at me a few years ago.
Personaly, I would collect neither because Guns are equally dangerous.

...However, I am saving up to buy a deactivated Springfield M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle circa 1945. Much safer but still equally awesome

Neither, because the UK is run by big girls.

In Happy-Make-Believe-Wishes-Land, I'd collect both, live in a nuclear bunker and be goddamn happy with it.
I live near Croydon, the last thing we need is more guns.

Well a gun can disarm, disable and destroy your target if just aim at the right parts of the target

That's what the zombies want you to think!!

You can't let them get on top of you like that. Ride the fun bus 'til the end, then get off and walk.
