Poll: Favourite Melee weapon

[etherlance]

I'd say my favorite weapon would be a magical pink little unicorn that shoots deadly rainbow lasers out of it's arse........but where the hell are we ever gonna find that huh?


So I'll give a shout out to the trusty spear......because nothing says "You're gonna Die" better than a knife tied to the end of a stick.


However my favorite weapons are the Rapiers so I guess untill someone designs a unicorn rainbow arse rapier tied to the shaft of a spear for me, I'll vote for the swords.

 

[Thistlehart]

The crowbar, of course.

Hey, I live in THIS century.

Definitely the Crowbar. I don't know why it wasn't an option, but it is the most common weapon you'll find these days in the general public area, and has numerous practical uses too. Add to that HALF LIFE and you have win.

That would be a mace, then. For ultimately a mace is nothing more than a well-made metal club. A crowbar is not much different.

OT:
I'm voting mace (specifically the modern 3lb. crescent wrench variety), because it's fun to go clubbing.

 

[Draitheryn]

Glaive really, i guess its kinda close to halberd or spear, but not quite. I also I like maces if I can dual wield em. Just something about that blunt, skull-crushing impact that makes me tingle inside.

 

[him over there]

Spetsnaz shovel.

Looks innocent enough, doesn't it? Pretty much a modern-day battle-axe though. I've heard you can split a man's head clean in half with one of these though. Plus, it can be thrown! Plus, it's a shovel! Plus, you can fry eggs on it... I don't like eggs, but I imagine if I did, that'd be advantageous.

Why like this one right here?
I agree it is pretty impressive, not the best though.

Nothing beats a good knife or a lightweight sword, alot of control and alot of speed. Better if duel wielded

 

[aoi287]

It may sound kind of boring, but there's something gratifying about taking down a gun-wielding enemy with nothing but bare fists.

 

[Sejs Cube]

Anything that could also be used as a tool. Axes, hammers, knives, that sort of thing. If it's only good for one thing - harming dudes - it seems somehow to be a bit of a waste. Spears deserve an honorable mention though, as they were such a huge gamechanger historically.

 

[CrazyJew]

The one that is a melee weapon only as a secondary function of its stock - the assault rifle.

 

[Odinsson]

I picked axe, with sword a very close second, because that's what I actually use when I take the field in reenactment

 

[Leemaster777]

That's easy: a good old-fashioned hunting knife. Because then you can do this:


It's just an efficient weapon, overall.

Failing that, I gotta go with the bo staff.

 

[SaberXIII]

Call me typical, but I love katana over any other weapon :3

 

[Pinkamena]

Love the Mace. I'm surprised it didn't get more love...

 

[Light 086]

Penetrator from Saints Row 3... what?

It's great because it adds insult to injury, to be killed by it would be humiliating.


But if we are going for realism then probably a Katana, I love their elegant yet lethal design.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Axes make my dick rock hard.

There's always something about a weighted axhead being swung that makes me cringe in a way no other weapon does.

 

[Amberella]

Swords, of course.

I even have a small collection. Though it's been awhile since I've gotten a new one.

 

[loudmadman]

with the options present, I'd go with the spear. However, I prefer the staff because I'm a believer of "the best offence is a good defence". Also, the range is always welcome in a melee fight

 

[kommando367]

IRL: flails. I actually have a real one in my room (currently just for decoration).

In games, lightning claws from WH40k.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Gopher chucks, obviously.


Any other answer is sheer lunacy.

 

[Iwana Humpalot]

The Penetrator, do i need to say more?

 

[kouriichi]

You forgot "Maul", but i guess the way id use them they would count as ranged....

I guess i'll go with a Mace. While a sword is classic and a flail is pretty, a Mace just has the right feel to it. Its refined enough for a Knight to carry, but brutish enough for even the most hardened barbarian.

Its a way of saying "i love you", without all the blood spurting, organ gutting.
