I'm no war expert neither weapons expert but using a sword in combat today would be useless, as cool as it would be to charge with a sword, you have better chance with a bayonet. The only way I see a sword useful is if its close range or stealthfully used. But if you do bring a sword best to have a gun.
are you using the british army sword because i saw the sword blade is straight rather than the us army sword that have a bit bend at the blade and i saw the scabbard is different.if the us army sword,the sword scabbard is having a bit bending upward according to the sword blade shape.if the british army sword,it is just straight according to the sword blade shape

Tobby Hudson in US military swords tend to be used when in a formation and the group is armed, usually with rifles. Otherwise there’s not really a need.

Matt Easton from ,scholagladiatora' channel said, that modern swords, produced for ceremonial use only, have no more the blade quality as in old days, when swords had been weapons, a lot of knowledge is forgotten now.
