Quote:Knives and sharp sticks would just be more popular.
True, but, if you are playing with a knife or a sharp stick in your house the odds are it will not penetrate the walls and kill your neighbor. They just don't have that kind of penetrating power.
Remember, I'm mainly worried about accidents here and I think it would be pretty hard to accidentally kill someone 100 yards away with a sharp stick.
Intentional murder is a different story. I grant you that.
