this made me laugh so hard.

i figure if you're wielding either, you're insane and so i run away fast!!!

Yeah, but bayonets are attached to the sword for stabbing purposes. Using a bayonet and firing a sword out of a gun is very different.

Give me the sword, you can't do much with a shotgun without bullets

You can hold it by the barrel and bludgeon people like a mace.

yeah, but that's not as fun...

WHO will win?
Whoever is the better user of their respective weapons shall win, of course.

A gun may have a low skill cap, but an amateur can't do much against a quick moving target.

Funniest comment ever.
Oh and of course the shotgun is gonna win as long as the wielder isn't slow and completely unskilled, unless the guy has a sword that can extend over 100ft like GIn from Bleach. Also as long as the guy has a decently made shotgun he can block any attack from just about any sword.

Yup, and that swordsman is going to be just fine and dandy after being filled up with shotgun pellets

Win what? A style contest? As much as I like blades, I'd rather hold a shotgun armed with 12 guage buckshot than look pretty.

If you're living in a civilized country, no matter if a sword or a gun wins, you'll become a murderer and end up in prison lol.

well lets see...
In the real world, guns win.
In the fantasy world, swords win.
Why? Final Fantasy.... all the soldiers have guns and massive fire weapon, while the main character usually has a sword and rapes the living out of all the soldiers with guns.
