Sniper rifles have that "they'll never know what hit him" quality. If you're skilled enough to jump off platforms and get a perfect headshot, it's meant for you.

Melee weapons are fun if you want to see someone piss themself before their head gets lopped off.

Ha, that was great. I heard that originally it was supposed to be a swordfight, but it took so many takes that Ford got frustrated and pulled out his gun and pretended to shoot the guy, and they decided they liked that better and wrote it in. I'm not sure if that's true, though.

Close... It was originally going to be a complicated sword on whip fight, but Ford had gotten dysentary earlier and wasn't up to filming the fight scene, so it was suggested he just shoot the guy, so that's what happened.

On an actual battlefeild, yes, axes are what you'd use against polearms. If you have fourty guys with polearms in a line, they form a pretty prickly mess. So you send in some guys with axes or maces*, who're probably going to die. But usually if they're in sufficient numbers, someone will get through. Once you get past the actual pointy parts of the spears, a spear line is incapable of hurting you, so you get to kill two or three people and let your army through. And then they get to surround the pikemen and whoever gets behind them kills them.

One-to-one? Polearm wins. The effective range for using an axe is about a foot. The effective range for a polearm is about eight feet. Guess who gets to attack first?

And yes. Guns.



*Neither of these are the gigantic monstrocities you seen in popular culture. Good-sized axes and maces are both about a foot long, basically a stick with a lump of metal on the end. Axes have a pointier lump, maces have one that's equally effective from all angles.

I was aware.

But I studied medieval battle tactics a bit and felt like going off on a rant.

You know how it is.

What on earth are you smoking?

A sword is:
"A weapon consisting typically of a long, straight or slightly curved, pointed blade having one or two cutting edges and set into a hilt." AYFD*

A katana is:
--A weapon
--Has a blade
--Has a long blade
--Has a straight or slightly curved blade
--Has a pointed blade
--Has one or two cutting edges
--Is set into a hilt


A gun is not a sword. Guns don't have blades**.

A fish is not a sword. Fish aren't weapons***.

A katana is a sword. It fits the entire definition, dagnabit!



*Ask your friendly dictionary.
**One of you will bring up a gunblade. I will kick you in the forhead.
***Unless it's a Pike Pike. In which case it's still not a sword.

Heh, I like Falchions too. I´ll see if I can find a pic of one. You can find lots of swords at weaponmasters.com.

Gah! I don´t know what category a falchion should be in.
