How confident would you feel vs a 400lb adult lion with only a razor sharp claymore ( bout 5 feet overall with a 4 foot blade) to defend yourself
The scenario is you're on the serengeti and from 100 yards away the lion starts running at you


I like you

I’d feel more confident with a spear.

Spear require precision. Lion is dumb. Start spinning around in circles with the claymore using centripotalmforce to maintain your position. (Imagine barb we animation) You can get it going 30 mph. Lion will run right into u imagine if it's his snout or arm it will cut it clean off 100% then he's mostly useless but he might still try to crawl and hobble to you. Also a claymore is long enough to be used as a spear.. was a common tactic in medieval time. Now if it was a bear u would be fucked cuz even if u cut its arm off if would maul the fk outta u. There have been cases of hunters shooting bears after which the bears mauls them to death and dies. Cuz the shot hit heir heart , but they kept on going

We talking about a death match or a wild encounter?

If it’s in the wild my best bet is to make a bunch of noise waving the claymore around and hope the lion goes after easier prey. Was my main reasoning for the spear as well.

dude what r u doin the lion is rdy to fight u all ur tlkin bout ways to get out of it peacocking make urself appear big etc? just fight him don't b a coward, remind me of when I was swimming Olympic pool one of my first times n I felt like I was drowning couldn't breathe arms tired leg tired lats tired water splashing my mouth and throat I thought to get out then I thought id swim 30 laps and focus on not drowning and u know what I did I kept swimming I finish my laps then I went and rowed for 30 min then I drove home ate some grapes n pork chop and went on a jog, do not be quick to cower from ur fears, this will haunt u worse than facing them, even if they bring failure and embarrassment, even shame. of all human diseases fear is the most poisonous. the richest source of ideas is the graveyard, because most people go to their death without ever having pushed themselves to reveal their potential and greatness. afraid to taker a chance on themselves, afraid things wont work out, afraid. even afraid of being afraid. we are a very weak people today. now u want to fight the lion or hide in a tree with mud and monkey dung smeared on ur face acting like ur a branch
