> Even I, average looking girl, walk with a knife everywhere and I am trained how to use it to kill
I can guarantee you that if you ever end up getting sucker punched by an adult male, you will at best get dazed and not know what's going on, and at worst knocked out cold. The knife is giving you a false illusion of safety. It would only ever be really effective if you were the attacker that pulled out the knife on a victim with the intention to inflict harm. The first to strike usually comes out on top.
Yeah you really have to make sure you do not miss, the punch doesn’t glance off, and has enough power to knock out the meta glass wearer in one go.
There is still the footage question though, probably saved live to the cloud.
That’s a lot of things to go as expected and a lot of unavoidable trouble anyway.
It’s just such a stupid idea to go around punching people. It gets you in trouble, it gets the defender in trouble if their training/emotion/nastiness takes over and they do severe harm to you.
You better make sure to knock someone out in one go and then what go to jail if they die?

Sure is.
As someone whose professional life lead me to witness probably 1000 fights in the wild and be involved with probably 2/3— even that muscle memory training only gets you so far. Violent scenes are usually chaotic and involve people bumping into hard from behind, uneven footing, slippery surfaces, shitty shoes, having things in your hands which even if you don’t care about dropping them, you have to think for half a second about whether or not you care about dropping it, winter gloves, backpacks or other bags, sleeves getting caught on things, etc. etc. etc.
Even the best trained people are often caught flat-footed. The only people that think they can fight their way out of consequences learned what they know about violence from movies and games.
