Help
This thread baffles me a bit. What the hell do you guys keep all those fancy (and dulled) weapons around. Decoration? That's something of an insult to a weapon. Combat? Most of you would just hurt youreselves with all them nunchucks, wakizashis and whatnot.
What's the point?
Do you have a weapons stash? What's in it? (what's in your pants doesn't count)

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I sure use my morning star to keep the weeds down. And next door's cat out of my garden, the hedgehog bothering bastard.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

He hasn't been around for a while, but when he comes back I'm going to be waiting with some implement of pain for any of the local cats to try anything, so I can 'dissuade' them. NO, FELINE SCUM, YOU DON'T HAZ CHEEZBURGER AND YOU DON'T FUCK WITH HEDGEHOGS

I dont own any swords, daggers, throwing axes, javelins, recurve bows, bludgeons, maces, war hammers, or tactical thermo nuclear weapons, but I will settle for my Browning 9mm, and my 1969 model Sears and Roebuck 12 gauge pump. They make me feel safe in the shower.

I have early middle ages sword, middle ages axe, half year crafted roman gladius (its pretty good weaponsmith), rennaisance left-hand duelling dagger, katana (just modern replica), norman shield, fist shield from later middle ages, chaing hauberk and gloves. And no photo here, because its in another city, damn:)
Andy why I have it - I used to do big historical battles. Historical fencing is pretty popular hobby in Czech republic and when you got 600 on 600 full armored guys (OK, thats one such big battle per year) and no just some LARP nerdies (dont get me wrong, LARP is great - unless its only battle), it has balls!
(until you got hit by mock arrow...jesus, I wasnt able to walk three days because of hematome).

A tomahawk is proven to be one of the longest lasting weapons in the bladed arsenal. I would say A Tomahawk user Vs a Sword...The Tomahawk user wins.
The Military recently said a'oked to troops having having Tomahawks as not only can they slash,pierce, sentry removal...they are also ultilarian in nature.
Axes ftw.
” No other weapon of the same size can generate as much force with a short stroke in an enclosed space. Period. If a bad guy gets in your entry stack, you can’t shoot him without endangering your teammates; and a knife is a slow kill. If you really want to get someone off your teammate in a hurry, there’s nothing deadlier than the spike of a tomahawk to the head. Small and short might not look as cool, but they do the bloody job a confined space. ” Rob Curtis, Military Times
