Yeah, I'm already thinking about it. a two-handed sword can't be long, right

Generally speaking, Japan is for the common folk.

Let's avoid insults and inappropriate remarks, at least in this thread.

A полуторник, or a long sword (by the way, it's only called a long sword in games; in reality, it was just a one-handed sword). And, in general, my body is my favorite weapon :) And not just my hands, but also my legs and head :) And I really like katars.

And a flamberge, by the way, is just a blade shape, nothing more. It could be a dagger, a rapier, a sword, or a two-handed sword; it all depended on the customer's wishes.

P.S. according to the classification, Ar, you still messed up...

I copied it from an old survey and mainly based it on D&D.

A полуторник is neither a one-handed nor a two-handed weapon; it is designed to be wielded comfortably with either one hand or two.

A полуторник is neither a one-handed nor a two-handed sword; it is designed so that it can be conveniently used with one hand or two.

This is, in essence, an adaptation of a two-handed sword for mounted knights. A regular two-handed sword is too heavy for them, so a step was taken towards "ordinary" swords.

Maybe, but your words don’t contradict mine, so everything is fine.

I copied it from the old poll.

Then the creator of the old poll messed up.

mainly based on D&D

Well, there are already enough mistakes there, and they even made more mistakes here. After all, in D&D, a dagger and a short sword are different categories of weapons. As are staves and fists, as are a katana and a wakizashi, as are a spear and a halberd, a bow, a crossbow, and a sling – these are all different weapons in D&D. And if you're going to create a poll about D&D weapons, you need at least 50 items, or even all 100, because they came up with a lot of stuff there. Of course, I'm talking about the third edition; I'm not that familiar with the second edition (in the sense that I read the main books, but not the additional ones), and the fourth edition is heresy.

This is, in fact, an adaptation of a two-handed sword for mounted knights. A normal one is heavier than them, so a step was taken towards "ordinary" swords.

Well, still, we shouldn't forget that real life is not a computer game where all units of the same type have the same weapon. Initially, yes, a bastard sword most likely appeared as an adaptation of a simple sword for cavalrymen, because a two-handed sword was too heavy for them, and it was difficult to reach the infantry with a regular one-handed sword without falling off the horse, and only in the second place was the problem of the weight of the two-handed sword. But to say that a bastard sword is a weapon for mounted knights is incorrect; for example, our Alexander Nevsky fought with a bastard sword, but he was neither a knight nor a cavalryman. In general, Wolf said it correctly, and it's silly to post incorrect comments with a smart look

A man who almost killed his neighbor at the dacha with a sports bow could only vote for the last option.

Be more careful, Veg.

What's the point of saying that? I already know that not all weapons are the same.

Was I denying that it was used only by cavalrymen? I just clarified what it was originally created for.

correcting incorrect comments with a smart look is absurd

Clarifying, first of all. Secondly, they are correct.

Omega, it's already difficult for people to choose. So, we don't need 50 options; I actually tried to group them together.

50 options

Even though the number of participants in the polls is five times less.

Last time, Vegtam voted for axes, although in that poll, bows weren't an option.
