Favorite murder weapon

[Zoom Rabbit]

Areseners are a bloodthirsty and violent lot. Everyone knows this. The purpose of this thread is to discuss our favorite edged weapons, and vote upon them. The bladeforms I've included in the poll are those which I consider to be the most widely popular in today's world. Picts link up in the following list for those unfamiliar with these terms...

 

1. Samurai sword (either katana, tachi or other)

2. Kukhri

3. Rapier

4. Saber

5. Talwar

6. Bowie knife

7. Claymore (or bastard sword)

8. Yataghan

9. Kris

10. Switchblade

 

 

My favorite? The samurai sword. Not a unique choice by any means, but it really is the most efficient and well-engineered bladeform that mankind has ever come up with.

 

In my opinion. Prove me wrong?

[Surfnshannon]

Samari too

 

 

is it quick and painless...because some of those look *messy*

[Lynk Former]

Katana, the blade is sharp and cuts into flesh and bone very well. I'm with you on this Zoom

[swphreak]

Where's the lightsaber!?!?

 

Huh!

 

I want my damn lightsaber

[Shivermetimbers]

Switchblade. Swiiiiiitchblade.

 

I love knives and swords.

[Alia]

This is a little obvious. You don't see me killing with little knives, although they would do in a pinch.

 

EDIT: I want to add that I usually try to get out of sticky situations by using my brilliant, harmless wit.

[Nute Gunray]

The hammer, screwdriver, and baseball bat kill more people every year than everything else combined.

 

Everyone has at least two of those on hand right now....

[Ray Jones]

i usually prefer other weapons and could even kill with a roll of ducttape.. but this means not i dont use err "knifes" from time to time.

 

chosing the samurai sword may be wise but IF i'd have the choice it would be the kukhri .. powerful and deadly..

 

[JangoClone#104]

i would have to go wiht the claymore, why, i dunno. i guess i like that outta the group.

 

and who the hell came up with the idea of the Kris? that thing just lookes screwed up

[Ray Jones]

*#104 looks to zoom*

 

 

 

*a kukhri hits #104 in the head*

[Rogue15]

no battle axe?????

[SuicidalXWing]

If I told you my favorite weapon, then you wouldn't be surprised when I killed you off with it. And what would be the fun in that?

 

besides, these are registered weapons

 

*holds up hands*

 

Chop chop!

don't you mean "#104 looks AT zoom"

[Cmdr. Cracken]

Katana's are my favored weapon, because of my skill with it is decent. not enough to defend against a good swordsman, but enough to get some random shmuck.

 

However, rapiers take finess to kill with, so they would be my second choice.

[Jared]

hell yea....samurai sword all the way.......

*looks AT #104*

 

..

*smiles*

 

yes. you are absolutely right!

 

 

..

 

*throws kukhri (AT #104)*

[Deac]

You forget a truly leathal weapon that resides happily in our public places...

 

Vending machines. Yes, 13 Americans will die this year due to vending machines crushing them.

 

This sensless slaughter must be stopped! Who'se with me!

[Lynk Former]

Hmmmmmm... vending machines hey.... I shall create a grand army of vending machines to crush you all!!

[Zoom Rabbit]

StarWarsPhreak: For purposes of academic violent discussion, I only included weapons in the poll that ACTUALLY EXIST IN REAL LIFE. Unless you're talking about the flashlight with the plastic tube that might scare a housecat, but naught else...in which case we'll be putting you in back of the boarding party when we take the Klingon battlecruiser.

 

 

Nute: *(Looks down at the two hammers sitting by the computer and two screwdrivers stabbed into the desk.)* How did you know?

 

Ray: Aaaah, smart monkey! Actually, the kukhri is my favorite secondary weapon. If Gandalf popped into my living room right now and said, 'Come with me to Middle Earth and fight orcs,' I would be grabbing my kai gunto samurai sword and Assam Rifles kukhri. Both are weapons considered sacred by the soldiers who bore them in WW2; they have already seen service in war.

 

Rogue15: No battle axe for you. Go home and chop wood.

 

SuicidalX-Wing: You realize that people like you are the reason guns were invented in the first place...? Bang.

 

Cracken: In the hands of someone who knows how to use it...a rapier can defend quite well against the katana. It has been suggested.

 

Deac: I'm with you! DEATH TO ALL VENDING MACHINES!!! I think it best to choose a baseball bat for this particular exercise--mind you wrap that handle with insulating tape real good. Safety first.

[Kuuki]

Personally I like both the Rapier and the Katana (in which i agree in both parts that Cracken said)

 

How ever my favorate, and I think is the coolest The Flamberge or at least a Flamberge Rapier that looks just as cool.

 

Of course the shape of the blade doesn't help increase, or decrease in this matter, the amount of damage a flamberge can make, but still, they are just cooler

[Pisces]

Whatever the guy attacking me is using. It's so much more satisfying to screw them over when they attacked with a weapon.

 

But if I had to pick, I'd say a switch. Easy to hide, easy to get rid of, easy to obtain. Plus it provides more of a challenge than just standing four feet back and cutting some guy up from a distance. I want some hand to hand baby, yea.

[Kuuki]

Btw: I'm not voting yet til i get flamberge on there

[Sivy]

a lightsaber!!

 

well i usually prefer to beat people to death with their own shoes.. or maybe with fruit. but seeing as they aren't on the list i would have to say samari sword

[SuicidalXWing]

personally I like the Saracen Sword. The sword is great in battle, if I ever had to take arms, it would be with a Saracen sword and Kitana.

[Nitro]

Give me my #1245 Ka-Bar Tanto any day. I like to do my killin' up close and personal.
