Your all time, hands down, favorite weapon?

Postby Task » Mon Nov 09, 2009 4:47 pm

Hey all,
I am about to embark on a bit of a project spree and would like
to know what your favorite single weapon would be.
(ie; favorite weapon from medieval times or feudal era japan rofl)
I don't care if you use it now, would like to use an embodiment of it in the future,
or know that there is no way that you would be able to use it at our park.
Think back to your favorite medieval battlefields, anime's, or movie.
It could even be a shield. If you have a picture of something I can work with that as well.
The end result of what I am doing is going to remain a bit of a secret so lets hear about those weapons :mrgreen:

I'll start, just to get the ball rolling :D
Task:
2hand Katana style sword, wide blade, similar to Auron from Final Fantasy X.

Spear, similar to Cid from Final Fantasy VII.

Dwarven 2h Mace / Hammer
Warglaives from WoW

2h Giant Bearded Axe

Cadogan:
War Pick
Boar Spear

Shillelagh
Kukri Knife

Defensive melee: sai.
Sword-style fighting: sun and moon blades (hook swords).
Mid-range melee: triple staff.
Flexi-range: wind-and-fire wheels.
Reach: guan dao.
Dart-class: shuriken.

Baer:
Favorite weapon history: Gut's greatsword. "Not a sword more like a slab of raw metal"

Favorite weapon to play in a video game: Seung Mina's spear/halbard (do I really need to post a pic?)

Favorite weapon in a story: Julian's sword catcher sheild from Wheel of Time.

Favorite weapon. : bat'telh "qaStaHviS wa' ram loS SaD Hugh SIjlaH getbogh loD!"

I killed. But I didn't just kill fifty, nor a hundred. I killed a thousand. I killed TEN thousand! And I was good at it. And it wasn't for vengeance, it wasn't for greed. It was because...I liked it.

I am terrible at picking favorites. I also believe that there is no one weapon that is good in any circumstance; the usefulness of any weapon is limited by its traits. So I'll list category favorites.

Concealed/palmar: tie between tegaki shuko and bagh nakh.
Close melee: spiked gauntlets/katars.
Defensive melee: sai.
Sword-style fighting: sun and moon blades (hook swords).
Mid-range melee: triple staff.
Flexi-range: wind-and-fire wheels.
Reach: guan dao.
Dart-class: shuriken.
Long range: Greek fire.
Inspiration. Exuberance. Synergy. ~

How long did you have to spend in juvenile hall before you learned that? :lol:
