Poll: Choose your weapon!

[Arphaxon]

A polearm. More specifically a Halberd. It's got reach, to keep you far away from the other bastards, a pointy bit at the end to stick into footsoldier bastards opposite you, a cutting bit to hack away at armoured bastards, and a hooky bit for bastards on horseback.

A weapon for the rabble

 

[FaithorFire]

BDA: Big Damn Axe
I'm strong enough to swing one with devastating force, so I'll take an axe and iron plated jock strap. That's all I need

 

[viking97]

i have no training so i'd have a pike. a pikeman can be trained in about an hour.as long as i could keep up with my pike team i'd be fine.

 

[JoJo Bizzaro 7]

I choose my fists.
That's how REAL men melee.

 

[Michailov]

Fantasywise: I would go DualWielding Shields, thats right! TWO SHIELDS.
I'll be the tankiest of all tanks.

Fo real? There's a reason why the Sord n board is the most used type...

 

[Contun]

I would dual weild sheilds and just run at people... If I don't freak the crap out of people, I'll make a great distraction...

I don't even have to get my hands dirty...

 

[AntiAntagonist]

I really enjoy the idea of a halberd, if only because I like GuanDaos.

However I'd go with a longbow for the survivability (not counting when the enemy does flanking maneuvers).

 

[MattRooney06]

Considering I've had no martial weapon training, I'd probably go with a crossbow. Any idiot can use one of those.

"pulls arrow out of foot"

yeah i tried that logic and it failed

 

[i did it 4 the lulz]

Probably go with a Bow, since I have had a bit of training with them.

this! i trained with a bow for about 1,5 years.

 

[AVATAR_RAGE]

dual Khopesh swords (sickel blades)

they are designed to remove the enimies weapon/shield while build momentum for an attack

with chainmail.

 

[Brad Shepard]

Spear Sword Combo! the sword would be used for Perrys more offen then not.

 

[cubikill]

Can I use magic missile?

 

[havass]

An rpg, seriously longsword 20 meters away vs rpg, your going to lose

before or after you die from you not shooting your grenade far enough?

OT: crossbow, i guess. and idiot can use one of those. provided they dont point it at themselves going,"ooo, i wonder what this does."

 

[Maibus]

I've got it, sorcery. I'm a wizard. I can actually go around pointing at people making weird sounds, I say I'd get about 30 or 40 people before they lock me away.

 

[teisjm]

Sword and shield, or perhaps a bow... a bow would be nice, seeing there'll a bunch of meat-shields behind you and the bad guys, and in case they die, surrendering is a valid option.

 

[WestMountain]

Swords and shield combo is too hard to use, the easiest melee weapon would probably be the spear because its just stabby stabby so I would go with that :]

 

[Pinkros]

I'd go with a bow, since I have a somewhat clue about using them. And I do not have to be the cannonfodder that dies first.

 

[vrbtny]

double sided axe, with a small throwing axe.

go gimli style.

Too bad sorcery isn't real, its only myths

But you could probably scare them away and make a distraction while shouting spells like this guy:

 

[Exocet]

A rapier,because it can be used to lunge at weak points in armor and be used to slice,although not as much as a more classic sword.
