Now that's really fucking edgy.

This belongs on /k/ tho

historical weapons should be no problem on Veeky Forums.

How are you supposed to wield this?

I mean come on how is this thing even useful

It doubles as club.

...

wtf i love anime now

...

This is some /v/idya shit
Damn that OP sword is cool. Don't know how practical it would was tho.

Wtf is it with Indians and edgy gimmick weapons?

This is a Lang Xian (Wolf's Lance)

It is a pike made out of a bamboo tree tipped with a spearhead with some of its branches left on. It is basically an area denial weapon used initially versus wild animals and afterwards versus pirates.

The Lang Xian's most famous usage was its role in Qi Jiguang's "Mandarin Duck Formation." A small unit tactic developed to fight pirates, Lang Xian men would position themselves in the flanks to drive usually sword armed infantry into spearmen. If the spears missed, swordsmen inserted between the gaps will engage the cunt.

Seems more of a dagger to me

>yfw Final fantasy 8 was actually about WW2

Rhodok genocide, when?

The Lang Xian is interseting in that despite it's strangeness it was very effective, at least in its niche.

it really should have been an eight-branched sword

The tang can be 8th branch. Legend says the inscription reads "Check E'm".

Yo dawg, I heard you like swords...

Whaaaaaat?

Good god those things are sexy as fuck. I know they don't work that well in real life but there's just something about them that makes them so cool. I just wanna touch them and handle them, I just wanna be with them.

Another weapon from India. This is a whip sword and you might remember it from Berserk (it was used by Silat)

Gonna dump few more indian swords

...

...

And here we have african weapons.

those are throwing knives (also african) notice the cock shaped blades to fuck your enemy over

Maori katana shaped tooth sword for maximum edge.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Some of the African swords deals Quad Damage.

> Aesthetic pistol/sword combinations that would be horrible to use as either.

Someone finally figured out how to turn the Nanbu into a practical weapon.

Is that just a revolver with a kitchen knife pinned to it as a bayonet?

I totally want this weapon in a zombie apoc.

This thing seems an executioner sword or a prestige weapon, to unwieldy for actual combat.

When the fuck was that produced?

hi lindybeige

He doesn't know about the Norwegian post office knife-pistol

Here's a protector palm pistol.

>to unwieldy for actual combat.
Remember Veeky Forums alot of times whenever someone's said this, some badass mofo used what it was said they didn't use

I remember someone saying the exact same thing about dane axe.

Searching it a bit, it's categorized as an execution sword in the Brooklyn museum, from the Ngbaka people. Goodle it if you guys want.

The Macuahuitl

Used by Native Americans (mainly the Meshika people)

They didn't have metallurgy skills so they relied on obsidian blades

It's not a bizzare weapon. The design makes a lot of sense given the resources they had and the enemies they fought.

I never understood why the first swords looked like this.

To chop better. And not ''first swords'' because straight ones existed as well dumb americunt.

aparently the hook was used to pull a shield open or away from an enemy, and the point at the end still has some stabbing use since it was in line with the handle enough

It must be a wicked weapon considering that obsidian is sharper than steel.

Now that is a cool looking weapon! Should be called the Sword of the Sun or something

The shichihito?

You're telling me Ace Attorney wasn't making that up?

I always thought it was fashioned after sickles after they started to double as war weapons.

Some Spanish conquistadores claimed to have seen natives able to decapitate horses with one swing.

I read the text a while back and don't recall exactly what it said, but I think it wasn't decapitation.

Probably more effective as a fashion statement than a weapon.

they had these really weird swords because they had really good quality steel, so all swords they made were sharp enough anyway and they got to experiment with shapes, not having to stick to the most simple and effective design.

>When you got dinner a 7, but got to assassinate someone at 8

Against flesh probably but its worthless against metal armour

Just like every sword.

Nope. And neither's pic related you've probably seen before too.

those artifacts were never found, tho
they are recreations

They were thrown into the sea a thousand years ago by a particularly salty loser after a civil war and then "miraculously washed ashore." We have no idea if they were authentic after that point but we can assume they were at least convincing forgeries.

The one in the regalia aside, magatama were common as hell.

post more 'legendary' weapons

post more weapons

what's it called

That's a lantern shield.

Daft looking thing designed for defending fortresses.

I don't imagine they were ever popular; I can imagine some medieval salesman in a three-wheeled cart flogging them castle to castle and getting a lot of portcullises slammed in his face

Anime tier.

Why were Indians so edgy?

It's straight out of Bloodborne, oh sweet child of Kosm
