Here in Nepal, the banks often have security guards. These are armed with small knives. Quite a contrast to Central America where they are armed with sawed off shotguns or uzis. This is in my view a good thing in one way. Less weapons is generally good. But on the other hand, a knife is maybe not so much of a deterrent to a bank robber?
If you have a guard in the first place, he is there to prevent robbery, right?
But if he's got a breadknife, what can he do?
I'll give the Nepali guards about 50-50 against a robber with a baseball bat.
And maybe 75-25 against an unarmed robber.
But robbers these days are armed to the teeth with weapons, so that little knife is maybe not going to be so much help?
I was were a robber I'd rather take the bank with the knife guard than the bank with that former mossad agent with a uzi.
But that's just a thougt. Opinions on the knife?
