How hard is it to stab someone to death? I only ask out of morbid curiosity because I've heard contradictory information on that point.
In the context of civilian novices who are not professionally trained—Stabbing someone to death usually looks like this: the attacker with forward grip tries to make primitive thrusts at the victims stomach or neck- the victim responds by trying to grab his arm holding the knife. The combat is characterized as such with little or no change in tactics.For the average adult man it is relatively easy to stab a child, women and elderly. It is moderately easy to critically injure another adult man, exceptionally hard to stab a martial artist or weight lifter.It is the same for an adult woman versus another average woman, child vs child of the same frame.Between two professionals, the match is anything but easy.It depends on quickness and strength. A weak or slow person can be disarmed after a few stabs or if any at all. But most likely, a stab with a large knife any where on the torso, especially below the rib cage, will cause bleeding and the victim will become weak in matter of seconds. Which makes the affair relatively easy.How hard it is depends alot on element of surprise. Can’t argue with the ease of a few stabs to the heart or a deep cut across the throat. If the victim does not see it coming nothing can be done to prevent it. And in this event, the prolonged game of the attacker trying to stab while the victim tries to grab would also be easy.However there have been cases of attackers trying to make fatal injuries but the victim survives.For example, stabbing the throat is unreliable way of severing the carotid. One or both of them have to be severed completely to guarantee death. This is easily done by a deep long cut but not if the victim sees it coming or the instrument is dull.The location of the heart varies from person to person and its a small organ the size of a fist. It is also protected from the front by ribs and shoulder blade and spine from the rear.Another thing people try to do is stabbing or severing the abdominal aorta vein. The aorta is a large blood vessel that pumps blood from the heart to the lower body… it’s a large vein under alot of pressure, alot of blood travels through it. Cutting it will cause bleeding to death, this is why knifers typically stab the stomach.But this is not so easy because the vein is buried under intestines, ab muscle and fat, its just behind the spine. It requires a large knife.

Would it have been possible to survive stab wounds to the stomach during medieval times?
Are you talking about the stomach as in the organ or stomach as in the abdomen?Wounds to the stomach itself were mostly mortal wounds. The only thing doctors could do was let nature work it out. A small nick inflicted on the upper part of an empty stomach might heal on its own. A large wound and especially one on a full stomach was mortal.Wounds to the abdomen were of little or no concern if they didn’t penetrate the Peritoneum - Wikipedia. It would just be a flesh wound in that case.If it was penetrated or cut open with the internal organs like the intestines spilling out but undamaged they could simply push them back in and close the wound up.If any of the organs were damaged the odd would be against you. Small wounds to the spleen, large intestine and kidney could be survivable depending on the place they were inflicted. Wounds of the small intestine and liver were generally fatal.PS, I forgot to mention that the abdomen is also filled with some pretty important blood vessels which couldn’t be repaired if they were damaged. When treating arrow wounds to the gut in a conflict between native Americans and US cavalry troopers those with gut wounds suffered a 90% mortality rate.
Which weapon is better, a sword or a gun?
The sword. I don't care what anyone says. It is the best weapon MAN has ever made.It is still the only weapon with the most deaths in the world. Not at all saying guns don't have an advantage. However don't ever say the sword has a disadvantage.The swordsman needs to be a strategist. You're not a swordsman unless you're a master strategist. To win any battle is to master strategy.The gun is used in the field. Like the bow, Warriors can only carry so much ammunition. Hence why I know the sword is the best weapon. It doesn't jam, it doesn't need to have moving parts to work, it doesn't need ammunition, it doesn't need eyes to win and it still works pretty well in water.People today just don't understand how really powerful the sword is. It takes years to know the sword. It has to be a way of life. Not saying guns didn't have an impact. I'm saying is, the sword itself, when created, is never the same. It's always different. Like a human being. The gun is only different when you add wood to it. Other than that, guns are created the same way.Hence why sword is better than gun. The sword will once again prove its superior craft.

In a sword fight to the death, is a stab to the heart really effective?
Actually wounding someone’s heart with a thrust from a bladed weapon is certainly effective. Neurogenic shock from a heart wound can render a person unconscious faster than loss of blood pressure, and even if it doesn't actually knock your opponent out, it’s likely to give you an extra moment or two to withdraw your blade and defend yourself against your still-conscious opponent. Toyama Ryu kata 3 was amended for exactly this reason following World War II, actually; they found (through rather unsavory means) that the shock generated by a heart wound materially increased your window to free your weapon and defend.Side note: katana can absolutely stab people through the heart, and your ribs - while definitely evolved to protect the heart - can be defeated by a sword thrust even from a weapon that isn’t optimized for thrusting.That said …You're right to be concerned about the defensive properties of the rib cage. This is one of the reasons that good martial sword training, of any tradition, should teach you how to thrust. Some ways of putting the pointy end into the other man put more penetrative power behind the point than others. This doesn't matter in a sparring match, but it does matter in a real fight. It is/was a fairly solved problem, though; plenty of traditions stab to the heart or breast with intent to penetrate. User-12815586157959934953’s answer has some great examples.That said, at least in Europe, the heart was not the preferred thrusting target of most martial arts traditions. That would be the face.Notice which parts of the brain are directly behind the faceWhich should also give you a good idea of what a properly formed sword thrust was expected to do. The fronts of skulls, after all, have kind of evolved to keep things out of the brain stem. And yet.The exercise of Googling images of penetrating stab wounds through the front of the skull from modern victims is left to the reader.
If you were to get stabbed, with the knife lodged in your body, would it be better to leave it there for the time being or pull it out immediately?
LEAVE IT IN PLACE!!! As mentioned, you will likely cause more bleeding when you remove it because in place it helps hold the cut vessels closed. A small item in a cheek like a pencil can be removed, but I'd still leave it in place if possible. The main exception to this is if there is significant airway obstruction. If you cannot breathe with it in place you will die anyway and the bleeding is irrelevant to the situation!!!NOTE: If stabbed in an eye, you must cover BOTH eyes as they tend to move together and the natural reflex for the good eye to look around will cause more damage to the injured one. Also remember that vitreous humor and aqueous humor (the liquids in your eye) are basically irreplaceable so if you remove an item and it all leaks out then the chances of the eye being repaired fall to basically zero. (Of course there are always new radical techniques… but how many people live close enough to somewhere that has those capabilities? Not most of us.)
