PDWs...and other small arms.

[LR1955]

Gene, google image search turns up several pics of soldiers posing with tomahawk in hand, for example:





But, I don't know if tomahawks are typically carried in a manner that would allow a "quick draw." Below are the only photos I could find of a tomahawk being carried, and both look far too slow to deploy in a sudden, face-to-face encounter.

Stan:

Damn, ruined my day. Maybe the dude in the lower right picture was the one who split the Talaban guy from chest to belly, thus causing the other Talaban dudes to "Run away! Run away!"

Top picture is an old one. Three color desert fatigues I believe. Guy on lower left and upper left look familiar though.

Am interested in your view of PDW's from a historical perspective. No doubt this has been seriously considered before.
