Suppose one is a cavalryman in the days where most units have discarded armor since bullets are so prevalent. You have a pistol, a saber or a one handed spear (take your pick), and padded cloth. You need to defeat an opponent who is equipped with outdated equipment, one of those who didn't let go of armor (and his armor can't even stand to your pistol) and he doesn't even have a gunpowder weapon. Unfortunately, your were a bad shot and are down to your last bullet which you just finished reloading. Assuming the land he is squatting on is absolutely important (otherwise you can just gallop away and come back with friends or shots) and you need to get him away, how do you do it? Again, only one shot left.
