Why? Despite being less likely to harm innocent bystanders, swords and melee weapons are a bit more brutal as they are less likely to kill the opponent but would instead maim them and they would die from bleeding out, infection, or some other injury. I would rather be shot than to die slowly. On the topic, I would say flame-based weapons such as the flamethrower and napalm (and white sulphur, thanks SteelStallion). I've seen a pic of a young girl immediately/shortly her and her village were caught in a napalm attack...that image haunts me. Her clothes had been mostly burned from her body, her body was rather charred, and her face told the story of what she had witnessed. That had to be so horrible for her.Armored Prayer said:Guns in general. I liked it back when soldiers fought up-close and personal with swords and other melee weapons.
Oooh pssshhhhlinwolf said:Biological Weapons, there are no good use of them.
I'm like that except that I think they will release a box jellyfish just so that I cant see it.Hubilub said:Sharks.
Because then I'll finally dare go to the pool again without having to worry about someone releasing those hideous monsters for the sake of killing me.
Why, you're one of those people who promote the new melee weapons in TF2? If good Lord would've wanted the Demoman and Soldier be meleeists, He wouldn't have made them Scottish and given them an explosive tube to fight with. Be it damascus steel or not, sharp edges are for sissies if you can go for a few metric tons of explosives. You a sissy, boy?Armored Prayer said:Guns in general.

blasphemy!JEBWrench said:Katanas. Then game designers would have to find a different sword to overpower.
It isn't the only one but it was one of the first. I'd say it's a tossup between gas (mustard, nerve, etc) and any kind of biological weapons. Land mines would be a close third, mainly because their purpose is to maim rather than kill.iLikeHippos said:I can think of many, but I have to say gas is the most horrible one.
I might be wrong, but isn't it the only weapon banned from war by the UN? That's at least one good reason.
