1) stabbing sword is less lethal because the fs_s1_gladius is comparably fast, and made them high damage will got the job better compared than low damage high lethality (keris and kujang are supposed to be heavy built and poisoned too, that way, tha should be still effective to use on high defense enemies.

The reason it's comparably fast is because it's easier to stab with a shortsword than swing with a longsword. It's still highly lethal thanks to stabbing. However, it's harder to hit with thanks to its short length.
