And that's what a disadvantage is. Can a bare handed person defeat someone with a gun? Definitely! You only need to spend 15+ years studying martial arts in order to defeat someone who picked up a gun 15 minutes ago.

Of course this is a completely hyperbolic example, but the fact remains the same, I have acess to a tool that you don't, this simple fact puts me in an advantage. Can you work around it? Sure you can, but you still worked around a disadvantage.
