@randydragoncheeks I mean "you want it to do ONE thing really well"
-
@randydragoncheeks Hmm, well I assume you mean against other swords in combat. Because versatility is NOT what you want in your main melee weapon, you don't it do ONE thing really well, kill people. But I would say of the swords a rapière et main gauche combo (rapier and a very long defensive dagger/short sword) is the very best possible. In real life fancy technique just isnt as useful as a swift, long ranged sword.Thats why the sword wasnt really a main battle weapon, spears and halberd were

@ataraxic89 thanks for the info
-
@ataraxic89 curious,whats in your opinion the best sword out there. the most versitle one?
-
@randydragoncheeks yep, its a good idea. Thats why almost every country uses either the AK or the AR-15 type rifles. Cause they do their job.
-
@ataraxic89 i can belive that,most cultures adopted things from invading civilizations with superior weapons.
-
@randydragoncheeks This is full of crap. History channel is a bunch of liars. It wasn't derived from a sickle, it evolved from war axes. And it wasn't invented by the Egyptians. It was invented (as far as we know) in Sumeria about 5k years ago. The Egyptians didn't start using it until they got their asses kicked with it. I hate the history channel. Its like they had the narrator make up the story for it.
-
@ataraxic89 who do these sources say had it first?
-
Badass :)
-
It talks like the Egyptians invented it, but every source ive seen says it was brought to them in war, and use on them in war until they adopted it.

Current scholarship points towards the Kopesh as being derived from axes, not sickles.

That would be true, except all of the copper and bronze kopesh are cast.
