As for real life weapons, I didn't actually fire this one but it looks so cool

 

 

Is that the carbine MTAR or the full sized TAR?

[ME_Fan]

aah the ME2 Revenant + Inferno Rounds + Damage/Accuracy Upgrades....

 

*drools*

CTAR 21 it seems.

[bEVEsthda]

CTAR 21 it seems.

 

It is. The MTAR lacks the guard around the firing grip. It's also 50mm shorter, though that isn't as obvious as that the receiver is somewhat different.

Speaking about war. The most important war-weapon is the aircraft.

This is an Icon (again). The Sopwith Camel. The most successful fighter of WW I.

Someday, I'm going to buy myself one of these:

 

 

Then I'm going realize I live in a city. And there's no decent outdoor ranges within reasonable driving distance. Aaaaaaand the ammo is $3-5 per round...

So I'll put it in my safe, and keep it for several years, then sell it at a small loss for a down payment on a new home.

I like switchbaldes and I cannot lie.

I've always liked the old FAMAS. Yes I know, its not such a great rifle but I still like it because its a bullpup with a slick look.

And now I bring forth to your attention an example of a military failure! 

Here is the great not really Nock Gun!

 

 

About 500 of these were made for the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars. Was designed for ship-to-ship combat. It was soon discontinued after combatants were getting broken arms and shoulders from the kick of the seven barrels firing at once. Oh, that and the fear of the sparks produced setting fire to rigging. That did happen. 

 

Ah it could have been a better weapon with bullets 100 years later. Still it needed to be wielded by a Minotaur or something!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the greatest sword ever forged by man.

 

 

I've always liked two-handed swords. This was supposedly the sword of a giant frisian pirate named Pier Gerlofs Donia.

 

As for fantasy weapons...

Spoiler

This is Mithrodin. Just a useless Kit Rae display sword, but it looks pretty sweet.

Looks pretty useless to me... 

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

^ Your force is not spread usefully on this sword I assume. Also its "hilt" makes me ouch when I think I should grab it higher!

 

@Gorthar, not for me! This one looks much greater!

 

 

But I'm out of likes.

[Lunch Box1912]

The bec de corbin. (crow's beak)

 

 

  

 

BTW, this is how you fight armored opponents, people. Not bashing a metal sword into a metal plate expecting to cause damage. 

 

It's the swiss army knife of polearms. Don't like the spike on this one, though. 

 

 

Where is the cork screw... no cork screw no deal

Greatest by size, I hope. That is a Cold Steel blade if I recall. Their swords are absolute garbage. Plus, many swords were like that. They're called claymores.

[Nattfare]

As far as I know "claymore" just comes from the Celtic word for (broad)sword. Even the basket hilted Scottish one handed swords were called claymores too.

Also, the Scottish two-handed sword tended to be shorter than the other two-handers in the rest of Europe.

No, claymore comes from the Scottish Gaelic word ''claidheamh-mòr'' which translates, literally, to ''great sword''. The shorter variants were not great swords. They were called ''claidheamh-cuil'' which translates for ''back sword''. Don't ask me why. Might be because the back edge was not sharp.

 

The bigger Scottish swords were in length 100cm to 120 cm. 

[Qwib Qwib]

You can actually own that sword, its fully functional, or it can be used as furniture, they sell stands and wall mounts.

My dad has one mounted in his office. He has the regent, which is this one
 

 

Albion swords are just too good to be petty wall-hangers. 

[Qwib Qwib]

From my favourite exquisite weapons:

 

The Klewang. 

 

 

It is of Indonesian origins and it could be 70cm in length. Some of them had a buffalo horn for a hilt.

Got that wrong I see... now where did I get it from that they were shorter??

 

There was some badass in the British army armed with a claymore and a longbow during WWII I think.

[The Hierophant]

My fault for just noticing.

^ Blade is the same, is it not? Only difference is the grip?

The Sniper's blade is modeled after the Equatorian's but is sleeker and geared more towards thrusting.

No, no! I don't mean that you were wrong. I have seen longer blades! I was not taking conclusions, just saying how long they could be. 1.20m isn't that long when you really thing about it.
