Hey guys- I was wondering if you wanted to share the weapons that exist in your worlds. I'm really into weapons, and I know there are weapon experts out there who want to geek out and people looking for critique on their weapons and uses. Here are mine:
Manurhin MR 73 chambered in .375 Magnum (GIGN's signature revolver)
Switchblade (NOT for throwing! Close combat)
Sgian dubh (Mostly just a spare)
Standard knives (not the kitchen type)
Mora knife (just a tool)
Puuko
Petrol bomb
Hand grenade
Claymore
Viking sword
Lochaber axe
War sycthe (not the farming type)
Iron Age sword (Celtic sword)
Spear/javelin (the Gae Bolg to be exact)
Spears
Shillelagh
Garrote
A hurley (yes it can be used as an improvised weapon)
Throwing knives (not for killing people, just a distraction)
Backsword
Rapier
Hand-and-a-half "bastard" sword

And slungshots, flails, morningstars, and Zweihänders.
Spathas + pilums for the polearms category. If there are any firearms experts around here feel free to contribute.
@Áibhéalaí
Spathas were Roman cavalry swords, if I'm not mistaken, they would be put in the swords category.
Kanabõs are freaking awesome, you know those big, spiked metal clubs that samurai use… That's a kanabõ.
