Not everybody had on. Only the few very rich or lucky. A claymore was worth a small fortune back then...Dersmikner wrote:

I gotta go with the particular version called the Claymore, as has been already noted.
Unique? No. Different? No. Some super cool thing nobody would have thought of? No. But, it's deadly fucking effective and that's why it's so standard. Everybody had one because when shit went bad, there was nothing like it:

But, wtf!!!
British government officials stated that samurai swords will be added to the Offensive Weapons Order, making them banned by the end of 2007. This is in response to the fact that these weapons were used in more than 80 serious attacks in four years. [1] Those who violate the ban would be jailed up to six months and charged a fine of £5,000. Martial arts connoisseurs and people currently possessing genuine Japanese swords are, however, exempt from the ban. The ban, however, will now not be enacted until April 2008, where the purchase, sale and hire of these weapons will be made illegal.[2]
Its to stop retards who dont know how to use, or anything about Shinken.
My fave European weapos would either be a Zweihander or a Grosse Messer:
Or real Japanese Swords aka Nihonto

The vaginal pear was used on woman who had sex with the Devil or his familiars. The rectal pear was used on passive male homosexuals and the oral pear was used on heretical preachers or lay persons found guilty of unorthodox practices. Inserted into the mouth, anus or vagina of the victim, the pear was expanded by use of the screw until the insides are ripped, stretched and mutilated, almost always causing death. The pointed ends of the 'leaves' were good for ripping the throat, intestines or cervix open.

...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

the weight of a zweihander + strong man + unarmored opponent = 2 pieces.Deadmonkiefart wrote:
No European sword could cut someone in half. Europeans wore heavy armor, and their swords were made to be effective in armoored and uinarmored combat. They could thrust and chop well. Katanas, however, were by far most effective in unarmored combat. They couldn't stab well, but they could slice like nothing else. A katana in skilled hands really could cut people in half. If I was fighting an armored apponent, I would prefferably use a lucern hammer.
