response topic to: the most evil weapon.

[steampunk42]

so recently i asked you people what weapon you would choose to eliminate from history if you were given that chance... a lot of you chose to get rid of all firearms and turn back to honorable melee fighting. that being said, lets say tomorrow all guns and black powder use weapons vanish...what hand-to-hand weapon will you wield?

 

[steampunk42]

my choice (and i know this will make several of my ancestors haunt me)would be a combination of my two favorite special weapons. the Scottish Targe, for its light weight and deadly spike. and the kukri, for its odd angle that makes getting around defenses easy as pie.

Swords. I'm a collector and have about twelve of them plus three knives. I would probably favor a one handed, lightweight blade like a standard katana for sake of speed and movement over the weighty bastard and broadsword that takes two hands.

 

[Marter]

A butcher knife, just because I have one at my house. That or a baseball bat.

 

[Megalodon]

1796 Heavy Cavalry Sabre, assuming armour isn't reintroduced.

Otherwise, Medieval Warhammer, or Poleaxe.

These are pretty much the pinacle of melee weapons.

EDIT: Awesome, 100th post is about swords and hammers.
