I had a friend(Marine Corps officer) who was within a few feet of a Marine who was sliced from his left sholder socket to his right hip with a sword. His upper torso was connected to his lower body by a thin strap of skin on his right side.
The sword weilder was a Japanese Major (big fat guy). The Jap had 9 rounds of .30 carbine into him before he did his slicing thing.
Edged weapons are very dangerous!
