Real sword

[ThatReallyHurt]

I've been on the news before.

For running down the street with a sword, picking fights?

[ReverseLunge]

No. It was a rape case.

The problem with that is the blade would still be flexible and might bend instead of going through the bone.

Actually, you WANT the blade to be flexible. A stiff blade is more likely to glance off the ribs, whereas a flexible blade seeks the path of least resistance between the ribs to the delicate organs beneath.

Well I just dont want that much flexibility. What if I needed to put it in his skull? I also want a blade that's edge can be sharpened a bit since i don't want anyone being able to grab it.

Then you want a katana.

Without a pistol grip.

[ReverseLunge]

but then I don't know how to use a friggen katana! I know how to use a Rapier with a pistol grip!

Buy a good replica of a german WWII era entrenching spade, and sharpen that. Worked for them, it'll work for you..

This whole thread just makes me speechless... *shakes head*

I know how to use a Rapier with a pistol grip!

And RL, if you already do know how to use a rapier with a pistol grip, then why do you ask if it's possible?

So that you can come on here and pretend to be astute. I never see you talking tech or strategy in the fencing discussion. You are just another blonde entertainer to me.

That's partially true. I am not a tactics person so I find no need to discuss 'strategy'.

And what do you mean by tech, equipment etc? I do discuss that, but I have also become weary of all the endless "Which is the best shoe/grip/bag/kit" questions.

Why don't you make up your mind already if you're going to be a nice person or not? Occassionally you post something good, but then the next second you're just being rude to everyone.

F.net is a great place to spend time, I'm having fun. I may be an entertainer, but my haircolour has as little to do with that as the colour of your skin does.

[ReverseLunge]

But I am a black entertainer.

A friggin shovel?

A very sharp, handheld shovel. These things were better at killing the enemy than any close combat weapon they had been issued..

It splits people open dude, forget "what if I want to stab him in the head?" Instead, you can bust his head open... Doesn't that appeal? Doesnt it, RL?

No way in hell. If I have to kill someone i want to do it with some class and style. I want to kill as a swordsman not a shovelman.

All of this is rediculus and stupid. You want a weapon to murder someone?
You want prestige? This is bu#.#$&#t.

[VERITAS]

Naw, what ya really need is one of these.

Since the Klingons use it it must be 'honorable'!
