[DragonSama]

The Katana. I always have found it to be the most versatile of swords. You can use it one handed in a pinch and then use both hands for some extra power behind your swing. After that The Chinese broadsword and British the Claymore.

[Jay]

My favourite weapon is made by Heckler & Koch and shoots 800 rounds a minute.

[LJustus]

H & K MP-5

(When you absolutely, positively have to kill the bad guy!)

[Treayn]

Melee: Sword (Straight, Rapier)/Staff

Med Range: Chain Whip

Long: Glock (don't remember the number, but it's real light)

[Jancen]

Mp 5 is truly an awsome weapon. I personally think two weapons I personally owen would compliment it perfectly. Berellie 12gauge auto with ghost sites and a 15 round mag for when you need to take out a room or blow in a whole side of a house. For sidearm my glock .45 with ported barrel, one shot kill but also has the accracy and range that few other sidearms have.

Got to love things that go BOOM!

[Jay]

I like you, LJustus. :D

But I prefer the MP-7.

[Jancen]

I do not like the MP-7 due to it tends to eject hot casings at you.

[Myrsilus]

For short range, it is a tie between the katana and the rapier. Both are very, very different weapons but I believe both are associated with superior battle styles. It's the age-old battle of Slash vs. Thrust.

Mid-range would have to be the kusari-gama, which is a chain with a sickle on one end and a weight on the other. I have yet to actually get great with it, but its versatility is amazing.

Long range... not sure. I have little experience with firearms. I would have to say maybe a Glock since I like to keep it simple.

[Jay]

I like short-range guns. You can have your sniper and pick off the guys who don't know WTF is happening. I want to storm the damn building. :D

[hapacheese]

Short range: My weapon of choice when studying martial arts - the kama. Quick, sharp, and versatile.

Medium range: Tie between bow and arrow and the blow gun... the latter because for some ungodly reason, I am really, really accurate with one.

Long range: Well, just because it's the only thing to have really blown me away, my friends' Barrett .50 caliber rifle.

[MFDub]

Bo staff. Nice, simple and you can do some sick stuff with it.

[Jiant Flying Panda]

Hehe, cool thread...
For me, it's the nihontou (katana); I've liked them since I was little (the whole "katanas are indestructible and they can cut everything" deal made me like them at first)
I now know they're not invincible, but I still think they're cool.. anyone watch this (http://www.compfused.com/directlink/252/), for example, or this (http://www.compfused.com/directlink/608)?

[stillbornsinger]

If only I had the 8+ grand to spend on a rifle...

That would be my long range pick...

http://www.section6.fsnet.co.uk/images/mar_aug.jpg
I've always had a thing for the Steyr AUG, that would be my medium range pick

Short range, that gets a little more tricky... H&K makes some really nice weapons, would probably have to go with the aforementioned MP5, or maybe a glock model 21.

Being in the military has given me the opportunity to try lots of different weapons, should be shooting an M60 for the first time sometime soon. Have been on various .50 cal teams before, always interesting.

Also, just bought a full sized Katana for like 1,500 pesos the other day, its quite nice despite the price.

[h2orowe]

Short: Kama, or Katana, and the occasional Nunchaku. (Haha, I suck so bad with Nunchucks.)
Mid: Bo staff (My best Martial Arts weapon)
Long: Any sort of gun basically, I've got awesome accuracy.

[Daishikaze]

Short: Shinobi-zue, a Staff or walking stick with a straight Katana blade hidden inside. I actually have one of these, but its still at my parents house, I'm affraid Customs would take it away if they sent it too me, such weapons are illegal in Switzerland.

Medium: oh, tough one to answer. A Yari of some type I guess, since brother Fujin claims the Kusari-gama (Which is totally bad ass BTW). I guess the Kamayari, yet another versitile ninja weapon, a Spear with two down curving blades protruding at the sides just under the point blade. Hide in the trees and hook unsuspecting enemies by the Jaw or the throat hehe wicked.

long: Keeping with the ninja theme, a Sodezutsu, or small portable cannon. Maybe not as high tech as everyone else's choices, but it gets the job done.

[Myrsilus]

Hell yeah, we're ninja brothers now. And all those weapons listed rock.

I especially like the Kamayari (kama+yari, anyone?). I've heard stories of that weapon being used... just awesome how you can sit in wait and then hook their necks, thereby sealing their fate. And it makes for a good slashing polearm if used correctly. And every ninja loves to hook.

I've always wanted a sword cane... I want to get one, but I have my katana for now. I'm content for the time being.

[Daishikaze]

In Hatsumi-Sokč's book, there are still photos showing how the Kamayari was used, let me just say I would not want to be on the wrong end of that fucker thats for sure.

I may switch the Sodezutsu for the Ohzutsu in the right situation. I mean the Sodezutsu is great for fragging someone, but The Ohzutsu could probably blow them to pieces, though it would probably be really hard to used in that manner.

My Shinobi-zue is pretty cool, but the fitting of the sheath has become rather loose from wear, so I may have to replace it. I might get one with a damascus steel blade, since I know where I can get one, problem is how am I going to get it past customs? Oh well.

[Myrsilus]

Indeed... a vicious weapon. But that's why I love it.

Either the Sodezutsu or the Ohzutsu are good. Just a matter of taste and situation, y'know?

Y'know, though... in real, real close range fighting, I think I'd rather have a wakizashi. I'm a very swift person so close-quarters fighting with a wakizashi becomes rather confusing for opponents. I can drop and roll in an instant, I can flip over people by using them as support, probably stabbing them along the way. Perfect for the wind-based ninja (reference to the five elements philosophy).

[Mechs]

lol theres like two different weapons being talked about in here: Guns and blades.

[Daishikaze]

Hence the name Fujin, I thought thats why you took that name hehe.

Never really figured out what element suited me best, my Teacher was in sort of a rush to show and teach as much as he could in the scant few hours a week he had to teach with. Possibly Water, I think I really got into the rhythm of the movements I learned.

Shuko would be good for you to I feel, posibly more so than even the Wakizashi. You have even closer range and less room for them to use for countering, and you just have to use the palms of your hands to shred them up good

[Myrsilus]

Excellent deduction. I was hoping someone would make that little connection.

As far as the elements go, it's rather easy to see. If you're like me, evasive and quick, it's wind. Fire is aggresive, earth is defensive and counter-heavy, and water is kind of the medium of it all with a little more emphasis on grappling at times. And I'm not just talking about ground grappling, either.

I completely forgot about the Shuko. I love that weapon. My hands are very quick and I can only imagine wearing a pair of those and shredding up my victims. Excellent. Thanks for the reminder.

honestly, I think they were just using frag bullets. Notice the bullets just turn to powder when they strike the wall?

Also, they are damaging the sword a lot. You have to consider how small of a surface area the bullet is contacting with the sword & the fact that it is flexable and the sword is facing the bullet rather than taking a hit to the side. The bullet will push the sword aside before it can go all the way through, thus it will only take out a bit of the sword at a time due to the small amount of energy teansfered (due also to it's extremely short period of contact). Also, the heat, friction, and sheer velocity will cause the bullet to splinter just from contacting with the thin edge.

[Myrsilus]

Yeah pretty much what he said. If the bullets hit the sword on any other area besides the cutting edge, the sword would most likely break.

But this is not the point. It's showing off the sharpness of the blade. I've seen many demonstrations like this and the message to be conveyed is that the blade can cut really well. And such is true. There is no other feeling like cutting through something with a finely-forged katana.

I'm so jealous of you guys that have automatic weapons, my friend is inheriting a Thompson and a BAR...the bastard.

I inherited my grandfather's M1 carbine from Korea and purchased a cheap Mosin-Nagant at the rifle show for $100 :D
Both are damn good rifles; the M1, despite the expensive and underpowered cartridge, is a joy to fire, and the Mosin is really...Russian

[Mechs]

So citzen what would you do if a guy walked up with a Colt .45, 50 feet away, and tried to shoot you while you had your knife and brass knuckles? (This question sounded better in my head)

[Citizen]

So citzen what would you do if a guy walked up with a Colt .45, 50 feet away, and tried to shoot you while you had your knife and brass knuckles? (This question sounded better in my head)

Try to talk my way out of it and/or get shot. Possibly run. The fact is, I don't get myself into dipshit situations like that. Guns are impractical unless you're a police officer, in the military, etc., a hunter, or if you put yourself in situations like that.

Defending impractical weapons with hypathetical situations really accomplishes nothing. It's almost the same as the people who try to defend swords, although guns actually do have certain situations where they are still practical.

Edit: And besides, even if I had a gun with me at all times, this isn't the fucking wild west. People don't draw anymore, and I certainly wouldn't go around pulling my gun on people. This isn't some action movie where we all get to go around shooting anyone at the first signs of hostility without any consequences.

If someone came up on me with a gun, I'd be just a screwed with a gun as I would be with a knife, because the second I went for my gun I'd be shot.

Sounds kinda fun. I'd still rather have them seperate though.

I once had a knife that had a curved blade and spikes on the handle. I also saw a large dagger at a store once that had to outward-facing blades in a conventional position, but attached to the handle was a second medium-sized blade. It looked so badass

[Rogue_7]

Short Range: Claymore. Yeah this may be heretical on a Japanese oriented forum, but I just love the idea of an utterly huge two-hander. Plus I'm a lot more Scottish than I am Japanese! Gotta keep it in the family so to speak.

Long Range: Well I do have a place in my heart for the tommy gun, of all the weapons I have actually fired I'd have to go with the M1 Carbine. Sweet Sweet firearm. acurate, nice feel, just a great weapon hands down. I'm certainly more of a sniper/ long range type. Course shotguns are fun too...

Accurate range for a Thompson is about 50 yards, accurate range for a M1 carbine is 100 yards (which is not accurate at all, even for a carbine), that's more close-medium in my opinion. Sorry, just had to correct, it's what I do :p

[Shadowknight]

I don't use real life weapons, so...

1. Short range - Dildo in GTA: San Andreas
2. Medium Range - MP5 from Half-Life - doubles as a machine gun and grenade launcher
3. Long Range - Unreal Tournament - Remote control nuklear device - devastating, and amusing when using "1st person mode", reminds me of the 1st person cop car at the beginning of The Naked Gun movies.

azumi was awesome, but azumi 1 had HORRRRRRRRRIBLE subbing, the dialogue was WAY off. every fucking scene i had to manually tweak the godamn thing

[Spy]

Close range: Scythe
Mid range: Mutliple glass bottles
Long range: Laser guided missles (now if only I could afford some...)

[Dresh]

I like a bloody lot of weapons, mainly melee ones since I find them much more aesthetically pleasing than guns.

Scythe: Impractical yes, but really fricking cool looking. I've thought of a few design tweaks to make it into a more functional weapon.

Katana: The design is practical and appealing. I know the basics of these through kendo classes, I've also made some of my own moves.

Nuchakku: These are awesome, they can be swung in a way that can cause a very painful impact, and I am very good with them.

Staff: Very versatile and, much like the nunchucks, a weapon with which I am simply a natural. I really ought to take a bojutsu class or something.

Kusari-gama: I haven't been able to make a practical kusari-gama yet, but I love the way they look as well as their functionality.

Scimitar: Really cool looking curved blade swords.

Flail: Capable of powerful impact like the nuchakku, with amplified results due to the weight and the spikes on the ball.

Katar: Well suited to my quick erratic movements, I especially the tri-blade variant.

[Myrsilus]

Nice choices. And the scythe isn't really impratical... it's more difficult to use, though.

Take the kama for example. They're basically mini-scythes. And they come in pairs. It's very hard to master this weapon, no matter who you are. I have seen many use these and it is not easy to use them to their top efficiency. Lots of escrima training goes a long way for this weapon.

But anyway, the point is that these types of weapons are just difficult to master. While I have seen many people try to use scythe-like weapons and look like idiots, I have also seen people use them with amazing skill and deadly accuracy.

[akitaka]

If you go for pure destruction and a 20 year aftermath of harm, Depleted Uranium will do the job.

...but personally I stick to my lovely legs. Low kick to the sciatic nerve-BAM. Down like a sack of potatos.

[Betrayer of the Light]

Short rage: claws, probably have a real name but I can't think of it
mid range: chained mace, maybe a glaive instead
long range: Evangelion

I've said before that I'm a serious student of Toyama-Ryu Batto-jutsu. Here is a Picture of me at the old dojo using my sensei's gun-to to cut.

http://www.geocities.com/toyama_ryu/bryanroku1.jpg

Since then I have bought my own shinken, which is much better at cutting.

The only guns I have handled ard my .35 Marlin rifle and various gauges of Shotguns but I prefer the 10 or 12. In counterstrike the FN P90 rarely fails me I love seeing this gun in episodes of Stargate as well.

[Dead Sexy Vocab]

eh yeah I know that, but its still much longer than the almost knife fight range they were talking about. For my sniping duties, I've used a scoped .270 (no idea what actual gun it is, its not mine!)

Yeah I actually have a pair of practice kama. I have a rope that I sometimes attach them with to make a cartoony kusari-gama, but I need to find a weight to make a more orthodox KG. Also I read somewhere that Kama were sometimes double-edged, I'm not sure how accurate that statement is, but that alone makes them more practical weapons than a conventional scythe. Though being double-edged is one of the aforementioned "tweaks" I've thought of for the traditional scythe anatomy to make it more functional. The others are to have a sharp spike at the either end of the snath (a scythe's shaft), and to make the snath out of some hard material that can withstand a few sword strikes.

The kama is double edged sometimes, but I usually see it as two seperate kamas with one blade.

And the tweak you speak of sounds like you're thinking of an exaggerated kamayari. It was discussed earlier in the thread with a fellow ninja. :D

I like the idea, though. It sounds as if it would be difficult to use without causing self-inflicted damage, though. Still not impossible I think. The spike on one end would probably be better.

The kamayari itself is a great weapon, though.

I had been wondering about the likelihood of accidentally hurting myself with it, but I'd have to try using it myself before I decide. I'm usually pretty aware of that sort of thing, but I'm hardly an expert at it.

I'm kind of familiar with the kamayari as well, though I haven't seen any pictures so I wasn't sure what they looked like.

Uranium alone is not very radioactive...one professor uses it as a doorstop. Depleted uranium is even less radioactive, otherwise it would not be used as projectiles in weapons (such as helicopters and everyone's favorite gun, the GAU-8/A Avenger). The more you know!

[Defcon]

The knife with a set of brass knuckles attached to it was called a "Trench Knife" and was used during World War I. As another fun fact, the entrenching tool (a folding shovel) was preferred over the bayonet for close combat during World War I.

The big problem with depleted uranium is the toxic dust it releases when it hits something. Otherwise it's very safe to handle...and cheap compared to...say...tungsten.

As for myself...well, I'd always prefer not being in a fight (it's the only way to ensure you don't get injured.) So I'd put situational awareness as my first weapon for any range. However, failing that, I'd prefer a firearm above projectile weapons above melee weapons above bare hands.

My ultimate goal in a fight is to end the fight unscathed and getting in close combat raises the chances of getting injured.

[vain]

Katana: I have just bought myself a Chen Bushido katana to add to my collection, and I'm pretty damn pleased with it.
Naginata: I just love these so much. I havn't got one yet, but i'm saving up :) I mean it's a pole with a katana blade on the end, how much more badass can you get.
Sai: Growing up watching TMNT probably determined my love for these.

Good info. No 20 year aftermath then; just alot of tank-breaking. The effects are still dangerous to health, though; soldiers who have used it in the Gulf War have nervous disorders regarding the spine, and the mess it makes after it owns some hunk of metal is remarkable. It's worse than lead, from what I have read; they could have refined the bullets recently, though.

Correction: Some allege that Depleted Uranium is a (or the) cause of Gulf War Syndrome. From what I know there hasn't been any conclusive evidence one way or the other and reading over Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org)'s article over Gulf War Syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War_Syndrome) it still seems to be somewhat of a mystery.

[kensei]

Melee: There are an unholy number of weapons that I really like. My scythe is crazy-hard to wield due to its size (we're talking a vintage Grim Reaper-esque scythe, folks). All the same, I'd really like to have a more versatile scythe to use. Ya know, the weapon variant of a scythe rather than the harvester scythe that I have. Anyways...I love swords. Just about any will do, but my personal favorite is a katana. I'll take a traditional Japanese katana for melee combat. Mix that with the Sugita-style of kenjutsu that I'm trying to resurrect, and I'm set. I mean, if I'm going to kill someone, I want to feel their spark extinguished at the hands of my blade. Up close and personal. Also, I've really been working on my staff work. I've always loved staffs. Jo are nice too...Ack, moving on >.>

Firearm: Colt Single Action Army. "Six bullets. More than enough to kill anything that moves."

I already said about as much as I know already, but I do know that they use them in some bullets. The RAH-66 was going to use them, I know that for sure, and I'm pretty sure that the A-10A uses them in their "Party Mix" (5 AP shells per 1 HE shell)

[CNagy]

Close range: While I'd get owned by someone with long weapon, I'm partial to knuckle dusters (non-brass brass knuckles.) A butterfly knife or a switchblade comes in a close second.

Medium range: Combat shotgun, there is so much varied ammunition for it (there are places that do only speciality shotgun ammo, crazy stuff.)

Long range: If I had to, anything with a scope.

It's a 120mm M829 Armor Piercing, Fin Stabilized, Discarding Sabot-Tracer(APFSDS-T)...according to the site. Used by tanks, and is nicknamed the silver bullet. Totally owns armored vehicles.

Naginata or a Two handed sword of some kind. I prefer those, but I can go sword/shield when need be.

Revolver Ocelot. I win!


I'm not sure myself. Living in Europe I can't really get a gun. I'd have to say a gladius. I'm a sucker for Romans.
A cookie is yours, good sir.

Its hard to beat the deathstar for a handy long ranged weapon. Not only that but its great for picking up chicks. Go out with me or ill blow your planet up =)

One word against any Death Star; H4XX0RZ.

I remember nerding myself out reading Star Wars trivia, and on a side note, that IG88 bounty hunter droid was taking over the DS from the inside out; until the rebels blew that up. Aka saved the universe from not only the empire, but from IG88. I think he'd make a fine president, though.

Yeah, they took out one of them. There were multiple IG-88s along with a similar android(it was a prototype if I remember correctly).
