SopWATh posted:It's probably too easy to cheat now. It's tough to find an actual single-shot pistol and the dueler's seconds would probably stand there with an AK-47 waiting to waste the other guy if he doesn't lose. break action sawed off rifled .410 single barrel.

darkwing cuck posted:just use one of those 3d printed guns that break when you fire them pretty sure you can find a machinist who can crank out single shot pistols fast, or a gunsmith would have no trouble making a single shot pistol that uses modern cartridges. bring back dueling, get rid of filibusters in government and make our politicians shoot each other instead.

Shadoer posted:To be honest, the reason wasn't anything to do with morals or ethics. It really came down to that dueling was resulting in things like the military's officer core being really depleted. As armies grew larger and larger, the need for an officer core that wasn't murdering itself all the time became more and more important thus leading to the elimination of duels. just make it legal for all civilians to duel and set up dirt fields where the cops can monitor people shooting each other.

SHISHKABOB posted:I think in most places for many hundreds of years dueling was not legal. The state didn't want people dueling because they'd kill each other and usually it was lords and nobles and officers in the military and jesus christ stop killing each other. think of how it could solve gang violence, they can have a couple bangers show up sign a paper and then legally solve a dispute without having to worry about cross fire. Also this would be a fun way to see company executives solve their differences.

Benito Hitlerstalin posted:Poor people should be able to duel rich people for their money IMHO. To the death. If a wealthy man cannot, or is not willing to, defend his riches in honorable combat he is undeserving of them. rich people would just make it legal to hire someone to duel for them and hire ringers. better to just let all the poors shoot each other somewhere where you can film it and turn it into a tv event.

l33t b4c0n posted:What were the rules of dueling? Like if someone challenged me, couldn't I just not accept and go on being an rear end? I'm pretty sure if I'm already an rear end in a top hat, I don't care about "honor". you would be publicly labeled as a coward, and it would go on your record, like if you interview for a job the back round check would come back with a giant red coward bolded on it.

Earwicker posted:You kind of answered your own question here. Lawyers wouldn't make any money if lawsuits were replaced with duels, and since most of our government is made of lawyers, former lawyers, and people owned by lawyers, dueling is illegal. reform our torte laws to be dueling matches instead.

Snak posted:Also, we do not need more ways for stupid people to prove themselves right. Cause it would totally improve things if the entire population of arfcom could go out and challenge all the minorities and liberals that they meet to duels. it actually would. we kinda brainwashed people to think violence is never a solution when it always is a solution just usually the worst one.
