weapons - Vikings,Anglo-Saxons,Samurai,Maori etc.
It was a matter of religious significance.
You can't ascend to Valhalla as a shooter ;close mêlée combat
was the way to release your righteous fury on wrong-doers,
and in religious meaning to build-up the level of blood lust
required to become warrior. So it has strong archetypal background , something which has foundation in human psyche.As old nobility used to say all those shooters brought down 'The Age of Chivalry' |
