I'm all for going medieval on their arses when it's needed. Nothing like the fear of a bit of cold steal up 'em to sort the men from the boys!
That's another issue again though. How to adequately model the fear somebody swinging a big chunk of sharp metal at close range will instil on the intended recipient. I know from experience that even in an exercise it tends to make grown men go white and think twice about holding their ground when it's forcefully presented.
