fully erect yet?

>bow down middle
how does it work

zhanmadao and similar swords are love

...

they look like katanas

I always wondered if these are actually effective, since them seem so heavy and difficult to keep gripped

1, 5 and 8 is pussy destroyer
3, 4 and 9 are for the special needs class

you think?

I prefer the ones with the blade becoming broader towards the end, unlike katanas

t. got rekt by beakies

Anteater face is the great one though, we're square on that

While I think we see some Hafström blades for those groups, none of the swords there are such.

Probable police sabre, Stockholm, mid 19th century.
Cavalry trooper's sabre m/1847
Fascine knife m/1848

Aw shit it's the motherfucking KM

Tell me about iron and carbon mixtures and boar spears and shit

They are twoohanded clubs.
Simple to make/use , very durable and very effective.

They arn't that difficult to use but are best kept in the hands of stronger men.

>They arn't that difficult to use

Seems to me that a relatively large and heavy weapon like that would be more punishing for mistakes, and demand more of your distance and timing management, compared at least to a lighter weapon of similar reach.

I would say huge majority of two handed weapons were either for armoured use so you can afford a few mistakes here and there, or for crowd control where your main objective isn't really hitting the other motherfucker but to keep everyone away from you but in a place of your choosing while your friends can shank them

>they look like katanas
The Ming Changdao/Dandao was heavily inspired by the Japanese odachi albeit with native metallurgy.

>shank
if you want to get technical, you can only shank someone with an improvised weapon.
"do you want me to shank him with my shiv?"
"I was just shanked with a screwdriver."

it is improper to 'shank' someone with say, a dagger because it is not improvised...

nigga I'll shank you

if I hand you the knife myself can you stab me instead?

it's only proper...

>shanked victim's last words

...

well, it was an eating dagger beforehand. Or the halberd got broken and the battle buddy shanked with the broken shaft

What's the difference between a snaphance and a flintlock?

>eating dagger
still a stabbing, unless it is a butter-knife
fun fact, this is the origin of the butter knife. it's so guests don't have to use personal knives to eat with at parties, it's less threatening and no-good for stabbing

>with the broken shaft
this would be a shanking, as the shaft is not originally meant for the stabby stabby.

>as the shaft is not originally meant for the stabby stabby.
only if you are an uncreative guy

Not the right order, nor sure I got every one of them, but here I go.

if you have to get creative then you are usually shanking someone

now silence before I shank you in the eyeball with a cheap bratwurst!

...

I can creatively shank people with a dagger

...

...

...

...

...

if it has a pointy pommel maybe...

...

...

...

...

...

Holy shit I got quads!

...

you are clearly not creative enough

...

...

And done, not sure I got all of them, but these are all I had in me.

nope, cause my humor ends at shanking someone with the wrong end of a bollock dagger through the power of MIGHTY PELVIC THRUSTING

unless you want to try pulling a Mordhau with a dagger of all things...

...

>best helm gets quads
fuck yeah!

My great grandfather (never met him) got struck in the head with one of those police sabers. They were in use up until 1965.

Extrapolate the happenings.

Its not on Veeky Forums, but it has some pretty nice explanation abour armor in general, you can learn a lot from it.

>(for shipboard) (=animes)
Weeaboo fightan armour.

Jesus that a lot of questions.

Probably one a bit mroe like this, as this is how most seen today appear, suggesting that it was the latest widely used model.

If my great grandfathers are anything to go on, then the whole affair can probably be adequately summed up with "alcohol".

I wish I knew the whole story, but all relatives who did are gone now. I think it was at some kind of protest event.

>mfw they answered all questions but the one about architecture.

Does anyone know about slurbows? Is it a crossbow for bullets, or does it shoot both bolts and bullets?

It's a toy/sports bow that has a barrel in front of the roofed rail that had become standard for pellet-throwing crossbows in some regions.

Take the leg off a wooden table and pound nails through it.
