Break into my house, *****. I dare you, I double dare you...

now I know not everyone is a huge weapon nut like me but I really do own this and am not afraid to use it
I found a sweet sword shop in Singapore, but unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take any on the plane and they don't ship internationally. Which sucks
Most of my current "weapons". From left to right, a Gerber Machete, Display-only Spear, replica Ninja-To with home-made sheath, Replica Japanese "hidden" katana (forget the real name of them now =/ ) and a Tai-Chi longsword.
Edit - I didn't bother to take a picture of my Bo staff, since it's basically a 70 inch tapered hardwood broomhandle. Unimpressive looking, but it hurts like a ***** =p

I'm a martial artist, and a combat enthusiast. I like guns, I like shooting guns. I like swords, I like cutting things with swords. I like crowbars, I like breaking things with crowbars. I hate zombies, I'm suitably armed for the zombie apocalypse. That's just me though. :shrug:
I look at it the opposite way: Most things are suitable weapons. If they double as tools, that's even better.xitel said:
Somwhere around 5 crowbars.
An assortment of knives.
Planning of buying a pair of short swords, because dualwielding swords is made of awesome.

I own a rapier (Not sure the exact title for it) and I do own a katana (who doesn't?) I also own tow butterfly knives/swords (whichever you prefer to call them) and a longbow (with the proper "ammunition" aside from that I only won video game replicas (also sharp) like a master sword and a gunblade etc.
Katanas really aren't well suited for close quarters combat... I don't understand the obsession with them, but then, I hate Japanophiles to begin with. Really, they're too weak to be valid as a sword. They're a slashing weapon, but they're too big to be as effective as a rapier or the like, and they're too light to be as useful as a bastard sword or longsword is for chopping. In close quarters combat like inside a house, a knife is far more effective, seeing as how darting stabs and mobility are key.AndyFromMonday said:

They're battlefield weapons, the curvature of the blade and sharpness of the edge as well as the tempering methods used by fuedal japanese swordsmiths turned sub-par iron-ore sand into exceptionally durable and keen weapons. The "Magic" of the Katana is that it is light, durable and will hold an edge while the form of the blade lends itself to slashing attacks in a way seen few other places on earth until the advent of the sabre. Smaller thrusting weapons were relatively unkonwn in japan as the culture focused more around the fluid motion of the martial arts, always maintaining balance and control over one's body while being able to deliver a finishing blow at the earliest opportunity. Ironically, the word "Katana" means literally "large knife".xitel said:
That said, my personal favorite sword is the Scimitar. God those things are sexy.
It was a gift to begin with and it's a nice ornament that has it's place on top of my wardrobe.xitel said:Katanas really aren't well suited for close quarters combat...

I've got a 10/22 and a remington 870, currently in the market for a pistol or maybe an AK.
I have a shitload of knives, no pictures of them though. I do carry one like this all the time:
Best knife ever.
