Deadliest Melee Weapon

Are you implying that I believe only a German can make a Zweihander?

I mean, "nodachi" just means "field sword" in the same vein, I am unsure what your stupid fat ass is arguing. I use the German term because it was referred to as such historically, lol.

Just say two handed sword. Calm down. Yes, in Germany, cos they speak German.

PS, you'd still get stomped by a faster striking sword swordsman in a duel.

No. 👆

Yup 👆 👆

Look at the end fight in Rob Roy, Liam had a basket-hilt broadsword which isn't as cumbersome as a two-hander, got stomped.

Films can't depict a measure reality?

But it was to form a mental picture for Nemebro, so he'd know how he'd get his ass kicked with his silly two-handed sword. Dude's overcompensating for something.

I will keep my thirty foot chain.

And lose to a guy with a baseball bat.

Come at me.

I am going to chain you to a cactus-tree and pimp smack you to death.

You lost. You went to swing the chain; it was slow and I knocked you in the head with the bat and you fell. Condolences.

PS, if "30 feet of chain" was the apotheosis of a melee weapon. You'd think armies armed with lengths of chain would have been more prevalent throughout time.

Your eyes couldn't even follow my chain.

Also look at Willaim Wallace from Braveheart to see how a great two hand sword fighter looks 😛

In the chaos of a battlefield, sure. In a duel against a faster bladed opponent, not so much.

Ah, right. You'd have superpowers. My error.

You best remember boy.

On the whole zweihander vs rapier issue--the whole point of a zweihander was that it was to be used in concert with a heavy suit of armor, creating a footsoldier capable of cutting down light infantry as well as cavalry, essentially a knight on foot--hence the term "Landsknechte". I can't imagine why anyone would ever take a zweihander in an unarmored duel against someone with a faster sword, and at the same time it would be a piss poor idea to bring a rapier against a Landsknecht because you'd just tire yourself out striking at his armor while he lines up a decent killing blow.

Oh, and a Zweihander is not just any two-handed sword, it's a two-handed sword that due to its size is realistically impractical as a one handed weapon, unlike swords like the claymore that could be used as one-handed swords in a pinch.

The minor difference in speed is compensated for by the greater reach and versatility of the weapon. 👆

I'd kick anyone on Earth's ass with my mountain-shattering physical might. Using me as an example is just as illogical as Dolos giving the chains to a superhuman.

Also, Rob Roy? I raise you Braveheart, as Newjak mentioned. 👆

Minor difference.... this uncle****er.

I raise you common sense. Cos you don't want me to raise you Syrio Forel, as you'd cry. Sit on your two-hander and spin.

What kind of blade does Brad Pitt wield in Troy?

It had a tiny ass handle that looked difficult to grip, the blade was bronze.
