Forums → The Tavern → what's your favorite medieval weapon

The only problem with Katanas is that if you would train someone to be as good as you say they (samurai) are, it would take years.

It is easier to give someone a weapon that everyone can use which you don't need a lot of training for.Then you have 2 pros and cons.

Cons:
1.Your army is way larger (and thus stronger) if you have some samurai and a lot of less trained people.
2.Lots of powerful people could turn against yourself and take over control.

Pros:
1.It is indeed a very powerful weapon.
2.The people who bear it and had years of intensive training are very disciplined and strong soldiers.

Claymore like william wallace. Chop three heads in 1 swing!

Mace! Maybe because I break too many things with the bungee cord and tennis ball on it. For those who don't know what mace I'm talking about heres a picture.

Wow, no hate posts on my post yet. How incredible.

Ooh... That's a hard one...

I have three favorites. First, the zweihander.

German sword about as tall as a man? Yes please.
Second, the Khanda sword.

This weapon is meant for slashing. It's head is heavier, making momentum even deadlier.
Thirdly, crossbow. Crossbows are used even today because of their range and accuracy.

the cross bow a mix between a gun and a bow!

A big old CLAYMORE!

Longsword, great for shiskabobs and stabbing people from semi-far distances.

This weapon is meant for slashing. It's head is heavier, making momentum even deadlier.

Dual battleaxes are nice for their brutal force, but I prefer elegant, trimmed bows. They're very beautiful and so accurate and powerful.

1. the simple sword. its just the best weapon of all time
2. dual shortsword ownage combination
3. classic archers bow awsome accuracy and style
4. assasins blades so epic
5. staff (not magic) the ones used by classic maartial arts masters

dual shortsword

I like the Quarterstaff, mostly because of this scene:

I Like blunderbusses (Caribbean times) but for middle ages I like the sling, crossbow, longbow and Katana Samurai sword

The english longbow seems like the best bow there is, at least for distance shooting. Here's a video saying why.
