How many 5 year olds could you take out?

Only 17...cuz I'm f***ing 15 years old and only 1.5m tall...which is REALLY short... :evil: (= about 5 foot?)

Edit: Lol imagine they could all be the size of me xD :lol:
I think that is easier so they don't clamp on your arms or legs or something, and so you don't punch 'over them' :D

28! Woo!!!

I would probably get more in real life. If a bunch of five year olds starting trying to swarm me, I'd probably rip one of their stomachs open and throwing intestines at the others. That'll show em...

EDIT: and don't hold back, guys. It's you or them. Just like in the 'Nam... :P

When it says no weapons, does that include my natural "built-in" battle claws?

Because I'm sure if I use those I could get more than the 36 that I get when I do it sensibly - or in reality, I could break out the many other "weapons" I always have on me. Multitools, belt, steel toed boots...
I've got great balance, used to do martial arts, have been in more fights than I can count, am reasonably well built, very tall, and I'll fight dirty when it's called for - because no doubt 5 year olds will bite and scrape me. I could have such fun smashing heads together.

Now, if they ever have a virtual reality machine where you could program it for whatever you wanted to do...

I wonder if that would count?I know my flashlight, lighter, box cutter, and Swiss army knife are just about growths off of my pants.I take them anywhere.


So how would Macgyver come out in a 5 yr. old fight????

Probably. I wonder how they choreographed that to avoid any accidental injury. Obviously a lot of it is clever angles and sound effects...

how tall might that be?

I dont know too many people who wear steel toed boots everywhere. :wink:


I would feel bad injuring a five year old.

unless they were rabid, looking for a kill, and going to die anyway.

About 6' 2" - I only rarely find people who are noticeably taller than me. I think that reasonably qualifies for very tall - 4 to 5 inches above the UK male average. (10" taller than the average female... :D)

I like my steel toed boots. I actually have as many pairs as I have trainers/sneakers/whateveryouwanttocallthem.

Probably. I am assuming that they use something along the lines of this.
