Nuke87654 1,849 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Swords are indeed cool, probably the most romanticized weapon in human history. I personally prefer the Claymore because I like big swords! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derpaholic 1,155 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I'm pretty sure lightsabers take the proverbial cake here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeryFox 23,821 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Yes they are cool. Lightsabers aren't that great. Oh and...may the Schwartz be with you! 3 Sōten ni zase...Hyōrinmaru! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkDeadly 34 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 swords are cool yes. Samurai swords. Guns are cool too I guess but not as cool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincible 2,091 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I think they're pretty cool. I'm a sucker for exotic swords, mainly Katanas, Tulwars, Szablas... that sort of thing. 2 My OCs for Roleplay purposes: o Lit Fuse (http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/lit-fuse-r6608) o Dust Devil (http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/dust-devil-r7357) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zekromic 1,054 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Swords have been romanticized too much in my opinion. I know they look cool, but sometimes they overdo it. I I where to pick a sword, I prefer a short one, but I pick a combat knife over any sword if melee weapons only. Besides, you can still use a gun with a knife 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnonOne 48 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Definitely agree swords are cool, picked up a broadsword and katana on my trip on over in Spain this summer in Toledo, both are extremely awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARagY 1,152 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I've owned several swords, however none of them were greatswords or anything similar. The first I owned was a Rosewood Shirasaya The next was a replica of one from an anime Third was a Black Shirasaya Fourth was a katana that I can't remember the specific name for They all were battle ready full-tang and really sharp 2 To each their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramba2654 602 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I like swords. I prefer the short ones, but not too short as to become a dagger. They're quicker, even though the reach is lower. 1 I won't be a complete brony until I get a Thunderlane plushie and go to a convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milky Jade 138 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 In case of the Francisca and Scramasax, it is not that their name is based on the people who used it (franks and saxons); but their great utility in battle brought about many victories, so it was actually that "the franks" means "the francisca using people", and the same for the saxons. They named themselves after the weapons they capitalized on. Also, one quote i cannot forgo "I don't know why people say a double-edged sword is bad. It's a sword. With two edges." —Kamahl, pit fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaoios 1,970 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I gotta say, i've always been fond of the samurai swords, Spanish Rapiers, and the Spartan Sword I'm pretty sure lightsabers take the proverbial cake here.

Derpaholic 1,155 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 In all seriousness, I like swords but don't forget they're weapons too... Except for lightsabers. A lightsaber is more of a symbol and a tool and less of a weapon, as the Jedi only use violence as the last resort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardhacandra 133 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I love swords! Once I get a bit more money, I want to collect them. I must point out a little thing to the OP though... The list of swords is VERY small xD There are countless of different swords. Maybe you should rework the poll to be something like: "Asian swords, western swords, middle eastern swords, etc". It is still prett much inaccurate, but It give people some more choices. From the list I chose the greatsword, because I like two handed swords. I have a HEMA training long sword myself (Not a steel one, though) and it rocks! I really like indian swords... Can't forget the katana, of course, even though I think it is overrated and the fan-boys kinda ruin it for me. Still, I would really love to own a big katana. Something (or someone) is TRULY discriminated against if we can't talk about it without any fear of suffering prejudice yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashi 323 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 My favorite is the broadsword xDFor me its a bit of a lazy weapon, being the large person I am I can handle it very easily yet I barely even need to put any effort into it to get a ridiculous amount of force out. Much amusement The kinda broadsword im talking about is viking style broadswords, double edged, thick weapons of mass cleaving. Not particularly fancy but hey, its nice. I've only seen the 3 original Star Wars (IV, V and VI), they were using them as weapon (for example Darth Vader vs Obi Wan Kenobi...) Plus even if they are used as weapons, they are swords, not guns, therefore they are mostly angled towards defenseAside from yes, the epic saber battles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vemillia Nightshade 2,247 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 (edited) I have some really cool looking replica swords and a assassin's weapon. This is my Katana with a dragon detail on the handle. This my sword with a snake art on the hilt. This is my Dragon Sword. This is my sword used by my inner demon, Xanthis. This my Assassin's Blade. This is the lower part of my Katana Sheath.
