I’m 24, I practice fencing. My height is 198 cm, I usually fence against shorter opponents. They often manage to drive their smallsword into my belly. That’s why I’m curious: what would it be like to get wounded into the belly by a real smallsword? How lethal would it be? How painful? How would I react?
Complete layman answer here, but I would imagine it would depend on several factors:
I suspect it’d be extremely painful regardless of the above!
I think the cleanliness of the blade would be less relevant than the massive infection pouring from your pierced guts into the wound.
True indeed.
Septic shock be a harsh mistress.
Talk that talk, and walk that walk, but never mess with septic shock.
