Learning a lot about historical rapier fencing

Figure 79 from fencing master Michael Hundt's rapier manual. In the case that you're too tired to fence, outnumbered or otherwise outskilled Hundt suggests that you hurl your sword at your opponent(s) and run away.

Figure 95: If you plan to fight dirty, Hundt posits that all you need to do is say "I'll fight one of you, but not both" and then stab your opponent when they look away to see whoever else you're talking about

Figure 100: with the rise of the offhand pistol over the parrying dagger, Hundt says to assume your opponent will bring one, and to not only bring your own but make sure that you shoot first

"Looks like you brought a duelling pistol to a rapier fight, oh, you, you didn't? ....BANG BANG BANG"
