Your favorite weapon!

PLEASE WITH THIS ONE - it is for a melee weapon no guns (Us UK boys cant play with them) and also not my hands are my weapons as we all know and agree with this!

ALSO

What is in your mind the most effective weapon and why????

Over to you all!

Sticks & knives (FMA) , I love a good Sword too

The Most Efective Weapon
I would say is a staff
For it's long reach.

 

I have to say swords, preferrably a shorter blade because the techniques are easier to adapt. I have been impressed with a few others recently but I don't have any experience with using them so I'll stick to something I know lol.

Whatever I can get my hands on when the need arises

As I've said elsewhere on this forum and others, I'm a big proponent of flexible weapons. Using clothes (mine or the attacker's). I like this because it'll almost always be available as an option.

But, literally, the *best* weapon is whatever I can get my hands on when the need arises. If I can't get my hands on it then it won't do me much good.

I only trained with a bo staff, and I messed around with a few others. But I like the bo or short stick, because once you learn it, anything (stick on the ground, pole, bat, ect) can be used as a staff as a weapon when the need arises. It's kinda cool if you think about it

 

Short knives. About two inch long blade at the most, nice and sharp. Preferably double-edged blades. Unserrated.

 

bow n arrow...i can shoot u from distant too

if u asking about weapons then i hav done bit of knife, then nunchaku...n nunchaku can be bit noisy...in situations...
my favorite would be indian flexible sword(if i knew how to use it)
cuz it covers 18 feet around u u can handle army of men(not with gun n granades) easily
and yes it's not fantasy...

Definitely a sword...

A single, light, nice sword, in the hands of a skilled practitioner..

Awesome.

Sweeet.

 

I'm a big fan of archery but actually hitting someone from a large range would be quite a task.

I love the speed and range of attacks with the shorter staffs - Hanbo + Jo.

I really like my keychain which I've modelled after a small Manriki.

And any short sword, preferably two - Roman Gladius', Ninjitos, etc.

 

Thought you would do taijutsu

Most people who have done it like the hand-bo & Jo as they are really excellent and practical weapons! - good choice!

MY prefered weapon

Is a Katana.

Have to say I like Yari (Spear's) and Naginata (Pole Arm) as the range is a real bonus and with good timing you can beat any swordsman.

Just got to use your feet well.

Most are good - a Kasari is good but not often used as its mostly a taijutsu weapon. Also a good old knife!

Mine for practical use would be the kobutan but for training Nunchakus, Jo infact most of them hahaha as long as I dont hurt myself in training.

 

I like my sticks, work at a good range, very effective and best thing to use without getting in trouble, ie maybe bruises and fractures instead of slicing somebody open.

 

Hmm, hate knives, it'll have to be a stick of some description, a tonfa maybe...

 

I have to add to my answer above. I like the nunchakus. I don't know about being effective, but they look so cool when done by a good practitioner. I tried to practice with them, which I did get kinda good with a few moves, but I know that it'll take a looooong time to get really good with them. But I'm up for the challege

 

A SCUD?! Hehehe..just kidding, for me'd I'd have to say a bo!

Silly question on the side, what's the correct name for the curved blades resembling a miniture sickle?? Blade almost at right-angles to the handle

 

Kama aren't they?

 

yeah and kickass weapons they are too, useful for farming too.

When using two they have amazing potential, really useful for disarming opponents.

 

Hehehe...disarming, in every sense of the word!

 

What would you say is the most usefull weapon for you to learn?

I'd have to say the sticks.

But, Sniper riffles are proving effective these days!
