Raventheonly

Raventheonly
Great sword for me smile .

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 big grin

sniper
dagger evil face
slip up behind...slit their throught

ABE LINCOLN
wait a second...

TREBUCHET!!!! evil face

drunk_nazgul
I like this thread shifty evil face

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 smile .

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

Aqua
Dagger and bow

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. cool

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.

Raventheonly
nor this one

sniper
poop

Storm
Definitely crossbow and dagger. Though no Middle Ages without a sword.

Machete_guy
Deffinatelly a Warhammer!

el-pirate

sniper

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..... sad 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 smile

Yuna33

Rogue Jedi

Raventheonly

Yuna33

Drifter101

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.

RaventheOnly
big grin

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 big grin

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

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 yes

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 love 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 big grin i forgot were i saw the pic sad

RaventheOnly
And an Ak 105 big grin that one looked cool

John 117
i still swear by the L85

RaventheOnly
Behold the next level of Russian technology:

AK 105:

TOH
Where is the catapult option? mad

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

HockeyHorror
laughing out loud @ 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 big grin

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 sad I love them to sad

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 confused

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 big grin

Cyclops
Flail or Mace...

I picked Flail.

RaventheOnly
Catapult is an ancient mainly big grin you mean wheres the Trebuchet?

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 erm

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! wink

RaventheOnly
laughing out loud

hobbit_dude

Df02
Claymore - pure Scot's pride stick out tongue

RaventheOnly
thats a great sword big grin

Dark princess
crossbow

Fallen Jedi
both the bow and the crossbow! cool

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. big grin

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

Fallen Jedi
i'd like to test that theory. cool

Dark princess
Or dagger

Fallen Jedi
the dagger sounds like my type of weapon! eek!

Dark princess
me to

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 love 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 big grin

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...

John 117
no prob

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
laughing out loud when? in fantasy games laughing out loud

raises quarter staff *smash* mace in the face

RaventheOnly
a rapier is a weapon of the imperial age big grin

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 big grin

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 big grin

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

RaventheOnly
ya ^ true

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

PrefectRonnykin

RaventheOnly
bump whistle

sniper
*draws blade and hacks somthing in half*

Bierbommetje
The GoGo Ball! rock

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

RaventheOnly

Darinda

Corlindel
