drunk_nazgul
I don't do shields. I would love a sword, but the shield thing is not for me. So I'll go with bow/arrows.
ABE LINCOLN
morningstar...bow...or the german pump-action crossbows

sniper

ABE LINCOLN

TREBUCHET!!!!

drunk_nazgul
I like this thread

Raven Guardia
I pick dagger its easy to Carry around, I can tie it to the side of my leg and look like a hot warrior
Raventheonly
maybe i should specify single man weapons... and i did not include pikes or spears because they are ancient weapons refined in the medieval ... even though the short sword and dagger are also but they had to be here

.
ABE LINCOLN
fine then...german pump action crossbow's the way to go then

Rogue Jedi
what about boiling oil?
Raven Guardia
dagger....I want to look like ann off of Van Helsing (sp?)...I will kill some Vampiers!
sniper
not a one man weapon
Darth Revan
Well if I had to pick what I think is the BEST weapon, I would pick a longsword. (you forgot broadswords btw) But if I had to pick the coolest, a double bladed battle axe.

Raventheonly
(i also did not include the bastard sword... but the broadsword was developed in ancient times and it would be redundant to name weapons that are similar to the other far too much)
Darth Revan
Well the battle axe and the war hammer were both developed in ancient times as well... And both of them are less effective than the broadsword...
Raventheonly
broad can be considered a short sword anyway.
^you are correct but a viking will teach differently.
Darth Revan
Yeah, I guess so.
Raven Guardia
I would never use an axe too messy .....yuck
Trinity_Matrix
Longsword, or a bow and arrows.
(I know how to do archery, it's awesome)
Raventheonly
a viking with an axe especially a berserker can make an axe and hammer especially dangerous through fear.
Storm
Definitely crossbow and dagger. Though no Middle Ages without a sword.
Machete_guy
Deffinatelly a Warhammer!
lil bitchiness
Well...its always good to be skilled at crossbow as well as swords...so i guess id have to take one of each.
cLoVi€
crossbow. (if it is what i think it is)
Raventheonly
theres a reason we use shields.....

the best swordsmen know to use them because they can save your arse
Fire
Depends, either a warhammer, a greatsword or a flail
Raventheonly
all very different.^
Rogue Jedi
i would travel to the present and take a buttload of guns!!!
Raventheonly
nice... i'd bring the plans for a factory to build guns.
Rogue Jedi
i would bring guns so i wouldnt have to build a factory.
Raventheonly
but if you had a factory you would rule the world

Yuna33
but don't u know.....he dose!
Rogue Jedi
i would like a mace.
Raventheonly

or a morningstar

Yuna33
i would like anything!

Drifter101
eh i say short sword
Drifter101
long swords get too risky for friendly injuries during battle short keeps it between you and your enemy
Pirate_Girly
Id use a sword, prolly one like Sting from LOTR
Drifter101
thats like a short sword, aragorn's is like a long sword
flavinho
long sword or crossbow...
Fire
They all get the job done.
frodo_dude
dagger!! i luv them i have a dagger collection, and i can use them pretty easily
Myth
WHAT!?! I'm the only one to vote for a mace? Your kidding me, those things are so cool. My roomate has one up on the wall along with all of his swords and other cool weapons.
HockeyHorror
short sword kicks ass with a shield...
but can we talk about modern weapons?
RaventheOnly
i no care this thread has been dead for a month

John 117
ok, as an owner of a large sword collection, and one of the few ppl who can one hand a great sword i feel i must let my opinion be known and that i choose a great sword
HockeyHorror
but its a great thread...i cant believe i missed it

SigSauer P228 and P229 (Switzerland/Germany)

famas
John 117
nice weapon .... clip empties a little too fast for my liking at times tho .... i'd rather use the TAR-21
silver_tears
Mace droolio or crossbow, very Guinevere

HockeyHorror
famas is great, but i always heard accuracy is bad...
John 117
if you burst fire it it's just fine, but you have to have a good grip and be damned accurate to hit on full auto
HockeyHorror
this will always be my fav weapon

AK-47
my grandpa use to have one when he faught along side with Russia.
http://st2.wz.cz/historie/guns/ak47.jpg
John 117
yea AK-47 ...it's not bad if your shotting a moving target
but soon as they stop moving you can't hit due to the insaine kickback on the thing
HockeyHorror
i dont like the AK-51
it doesn't look right
http://www.rifletech.com/ak51-2.jpg
John 117
yea i'm not a fan either .... cause it looks like an M-16 rippoff for one, and it's still got the kickback problem
RaventheOnly
there is a Ak 74

i forgot were i saw the pic

RaventheOnly
And an Ak 105

that one looked cool
John 117
i still swear by the L85
RaventheOnly
Behold the next level of Russian technology:
AK 105:

TOH

John 117
http://world.guns.ru/assault/as22-e.htm L-85
HockeyHorror

@ TOH
RTO- that looks nice...BUT!! i still like the classic AK-47...
i dont think they should modify it to have a scope or any other types of modifications
but thats just my opinion

John 117
i don't like the carbine versions as much
the rifles are better
SeptemberRain
why are ppl obsessed with guns?
i prefer swords
RaventheOnly
Unfortunetly swords are beyond obsolete

I love them to

John 117
check an earlier post ... i own 14 swords myself ... and only 1 rifle ... well that I own, others in the house have more
§nakehead
a big scary vicking sword
RaventheOnly
vikings used axes and short swords

HockeyHorror
no some vikings DID use long swords...i believe they were long roman swords.
but most of them used short swords with small shields.
RaventheOnly
They used really anything they could find so your right

Cyclops
Flail or Mace...
I picked Flail.
RaventheOnly
Catapult is an ancient mainly

http://www.thetimelinemovie.com/gallery/trebuchet.jpg
Black Onyx

John 117

RaventheOnly

John 117
dude, you got the pic too awesome
m!$hA
i chose the bow because im assuming it's the bow and arrow, and if i had to kill anyone it'd be that way because i couldnt ever kill someone (well i couldnt kill someone fullstop), but if i had to, i couldnt do it with a knife or anything like that!
BakaXero
why theres no lance or spears
m!$hA
coz u can only get 10 options

BakaXero
hmm... flail or axe? hmm....war hammer sounds good...
hmm... better check the votes... then i'll decide
Jedi Priestess
Dagger (very close and personal you are a heartless killer)
that gets my vote!

hobbit_dude

RaventheOnly
lotta archers

they don't like to messy thier hands ehhh

hobbit_dude
I luv fighting with daggers i usually like threat my bro with a dagger u know like kidding and he freaks out!

Df02
Claymore - pure Scot's pride

RaventheOnly
thats a great sword

Fallen Jedi
both the bow and the crossbow!

sonofasaiyan
I chose the Great Sword. It's kind of Jedi-like since you use both hands.
Fallen Jedi
there's been a lot of midevil type movies lately with lord of the rings and king arthur. those elves inspire me.

RaventheOnly

bows are really important but no one can use em like the elves can

Fallen Jedi
i'd like to test that theory.

Fallen Jedi
the dagger sounds like my type of weapon!

John 117
personaly i like the Bastard sword, it's half way between the great sword and the long sword it can be used w/ one or two hands
Vampiree
dagger

i love daggers
John 117
course you can never go wrong w/ the Fullblade ... only weapon bigger then a Great Sword, ussually has a 6 foot blade
TrAnCeDuO
dammit! wheres rapiers and samurai swords!?
John 117
there's a seperate poll for japanese weapons ... but yea ...where is the rapier?
TrAnCeDuO
would you be so kind to provide a link to it?
John 117
if i can find it sure
TrAnCeDuO
why thank you

John 117
grrr, thing was too old ... can't find it ... either that or i'm going blind
TrAnCeDuO
aww screw it...when this threads all done and over with ill remake it...till then ill have to go with the bow since none of the other european weapons really interest me and because the samurai used them as well...thanks anyways john...
GABRIEL05
I would take one of those Korean composite bows and a nice fast arabic Horse
Black Onyx
up close and personal
TrAnCeDuO
another thing...where the hell are the staves!? they used quarterstaffs back in europe!
RaventheOnly

when? in fantasy games
raises quarter staff *smash* mace in the face
RaventheOnly
a rapier is a weapon of the imperial age

TrAnCeDuO
no its the truth! they did use quarterstaffs but it usually was used in brawls and not in armies...but it doesnt make it anyless qualified for a weapon...besides the peasants probably used it as well because they were too poor...
RaventheOnly
they used spear and pike but i didn't put those because they are ancient standards ... plus i didn't think anyone would choose them

TrAnCeDuO
no really its the truth i read it from a book that went over almost all the weapons that were ever made...(i would get it but my schools library is closed) and besides it seems practical to get a staff if you cant afford a weapon...
John 117
quarterstaffwas favored by warrior monks
RaventheOnly
monks rarely went to war unless on a crusade

TrAnCeDuO
but isnt that good enough to qualify it for a weapon of that age?
John 117
not true, there was always a handful of monks that got involved in every war
DaRk Jester
well since there isnt any staffs here ill have to say the great swords...i like german and russian swords the most..
PunisherFan33
i like the great sword
OnLy_FoR_OrLi
Swords kick ase but bows do 2!
FRO§T
i pick daggar, but i would like two daggars like Ayame in Tenchu
RaventheOnly
bump

sniper
*draws blade and hacks somthing in half*
Bierbommetje
The GoGo Ball!

rapmastad
i would choose the crossbow, its the closet thing to a shotgun
naybean
I'd pick the great sword but i doubt i could use it cos its too heavy so guess i'll have to go with the long sword.
Lord_Andres
If I where to choose I would get a Long Sword made for two hands
Bierbommetje
A bucket of boiling hot oil
Korri
thats a good one

RaventheOnly

hysterical
Darinda
well i have no idea,maybe a bow,and arrow,if that counts.
Corlindel
Two handed sword

Paxelius
a chained mace would do the trick
