I doubt it was real as it is big and cumbersome, all you have to do is either throw a serrated disc or get up close and slice with one sabre or mini sabre

By the way, Yongzheng was a great King.

A sick weapon...I think this weapon was from the west of China, somewhere near Tibet.

Hmmm...if Assassin's influence from Assassins Creed came to China, I bet this is one of their inventive Assassin weapons not even Altair/Ezio ever thought of next to the Hidden blade.

thats why we have sniper.

Emperor young Zhen was one of the greatest Chinese emperors ever! After his era, the imperial reserve raised up to a double to what it was before his ruling.

@JohnnyRazor69 I agree, I'm very skeptical about this cumbersome risky weapon even being used in assassination let alone if it was capable of severing the hand with the strength of a single pull. The neck muscles and spinal column are not as easy to cut through as straw either.

[JohnnyRazor69]

I doubt that it could actually decapitate a head, considering the short distance the blades move. What's more, they did not show any tests where even the straw manequin's head was actually cut off.

Well, i hear ya, but if a target is so guarded that you can't get close enough to him to cut off his head with something like a sword, the likelihood you could get close enough to use a flying guillotine is slim too. If you could get close enough, I would assume then that you would want to use something sure fire. This is also taking into account that not all assassins worked under the criterion of the hollywood ninja. With poisons or undercover tactics they could open many more doors.

@Shebonavitch bcoz in encient China, cutting off the head of the target was the only way proofin the job was done, the flyin guilatine may seem hard to use but, its alot eaier do the preparation before hand, when the target were surrounded by guards, even the managed to kill, cutting off heads and taking it would be mission impossible.
