I would take just about any firearm over a rock or a spear - even just for the intimidation factor - i.e. not too many guys are going to mess with you if you dump a whole magazine into the bushes - thats usually when most typical marauders or criminals out to ambush you decide its time to move on

And Africa has a long tradition of home made weapons that dont fire very well - yet they keep making them - ie. better than a rock or spear even if it jams a lot
