>> If your in a classroom, esp. a small one, it would be all about the skill, determination and ability to handle the stress of combat (which all matter a lot even at longer range anyway). If the attacker is not well-trained, a well-trained defender -- even against a superior weapon -- can have an advantage or at least have a chance.
