how do you use a fan as a weapon

Castlevania Aria of Sorrow has one

It should have the reach of a spear, but most games make morningstars a short mace for some reason

It's a personal defense tool for the Warlords when they suddenly attacked by enemy ambush

Blow mini tornados at your enemies duh

Ribs made of iron, used to deflect or trap weapon, and used for striking and jabbing.

Whichever looks coolest. Counts for animations too. Spears are under-rated.

stab people with it

Grosse Messer?

that mobile game for Altair, along with his PSP game

Couldn't he just have a tanto on hand?

good taste

pretty sure rikku in ffx uses something similar, she tends to slash with it rather than stab but they're still dagger like weapons with grip handles like the one in the op

Also Kriegsmesser

I'll give you a dire flail so you can kill yourself

Whoever made these has apparently nigh zero knowledge of these weapons.

The fan other purpose is for a commanding tool like pointing at location or giving orders in formal manners. If enemy suddenly charge straight at you, it's better to quickly deflect it with a fan rather than reaching tanto and unsheathe it.

I choose a magic staff of fire.

>punching dagger
Actual question for physics and/or hema nerds: why is it that nowhere in history do you see “swords” (which is to day, bladed slashing weapons) that are built with a perpendicular grip so that the blade runs parallel to the forearm as a sort of extension?

Something where the net effect of a swing is like a “giant bladed karate chop”. It seems like locking your wrist against motion is a lot easier in that position than with it twisted outward to extend a sword’s blade.

Underage.

I was wondering this too.
Why is it all animals that have built in knives have claws, whereas claws are generally considered fantasy weapons for humans?
Evolution ain't nothing to sneeze at

i use a scythe because i'm an edgy little faggot

Maybe because hitting dudes with it (or having dudes hit it) would break the wrist.
Also when heavy armors and chainmails came into being the pommel and guard were used as stabbing implements.

>would break the wrist
Why not just have the strap run along with the rest of your forearm so it doesn't bend the wrist?

Because axes and picks already do that better. Also punching daggers were a thing in india, they’re just not popular elsewhere. It would be unwieldy if too long and probably makes parrying less practical.

Animals with claws have vastly different limbs than humans do. You're more likely to break your wrist using a claw or push dagger weapon.

They do exist, but not for slashing weapons.

The only reason I can think of why they wouldn't use the grip you mentioned is because it would make blocking more difficult. It would also forego your option to 2H the weapon.

flail-chucks

No, not at all like spears. A spear is essentially held the same as a sword; you twist your wrist nearly 90° to help the blade come out forward.

I’m talking about a weapon like pic related (minus the sci-fi gunblade nonsense part), where the grip is perpendicular to the blade.

I’m not really talking about claws, since claws run with the cutting edge facing the palm, requiring “slap” strikes. I’m talking about with the cutting edges being aligned with the pinky and index finger, so you “chop” strikes.

To a layman it seems ergonomical enough, I’m curious why no culture ever bothered.

Makes it worse and unflexible, you’d basically need a shield and it’s not even a weapon with good range

You wouldn’t 2H weapons designed for one hand though, that’s just not a thing outside of games and a handful specific weapons

There are those funky Indian swords that work like that, forgot their name

It's the bastard son of a longsword and a great sword. A hand a half sword.

Basically axes do that but better and cheaper. It’s not as efficient as it seems

less range and variety of motion

holding weapon in your hand rather than attached to your arm means you can quickly change the angle or move the blade to deflect attacks

they do exist though

Moving your wrist along with your arm adds further momentum. This model is not that good

It's not about bending the wrist (not having the motion of the wrist makes a striking weapon terrible btw), but because the impact would shatter your bone. If you break your bone in medieval ages, you would either die or live a painful life, where as just dropping your weapon means you can swap in your shield and use that.

But an axe is held like a sword, I don’t see where an axe approximates this particular ergonomic. An axe is still gripped so that maximizing distance between blade and user involves a 90° rotated wrist, rather than a neutrally positioned wrist.

Yes, you move your wrist. The furthest the distance from the joint is, the faster the point moves. With a free wrist, you have two joints adding up to each other. This is why rapiers are extremely fast despite being heavier and longer than the average sword.

Did they exist?
Yes.

Were they used by many people throughout history?
No.

I get this argument, and an implement like a hammer/flail with the weight centered at the end would be difficult with this structure, because it will want to “fall” against the wrist, which naturally locks at that 90° point where a normal hammer would be outstretched.

But a typical sword weighs about 3lbs and has the center of its mass concentrated at the crossguard. A sword is generally fairly easy to manipulate and gets most of its killing power from being sharp rather than imparting momentum (which is of course why mordhau strikes exist, because the only way to use acceleration-of-mass to do damage with a sword is literally to turn it upside down).

One would think a weapon built with those parameters in mind would do well with a grip that encourages maximum blade extension with wide mobility in all directions from that “netural point” and maximizes the striking range of a natural full-arm-swing without wrist involvement.

I feel like there must be some structural reason a weapon built this way is less sturdy, or else it ought to exist.

have you ever try to chop something with a katar? Your wrist is rather weak/flexible comparing to just using a long, hard stick/blade, so the blow impact is much weaker.
Not counting that the katar is for punching - piercing. Hitting something hard while chopping with it will fuck your wrist

giant completely impractical axe, preferably one slung over the shoulder in an idle stance

>With a free wrist, you have two joints adding up to each other.
That’s actually an interesting and salient point. The speed of a swing involves the motion of two joints simultaneously.

Swords need to be as wieldy as possible, it’s a weapon of agility rather than strength. It’s counter-intuitive to lock your wrist. It makes sense for a dagger because you’re mostly stabbing, swords make use of complex/flexible movements.

>why is it that nowhere in history do you see “swords” (which is to day, bladed slashing weapons) that are built with a perpendicular grip so that the blade runs parallel to the forearm as a sort of extension?
You do know the difference between a sabre and a hammer grip, I hope?
Look at pic related, see those rings that encase the dull neck of the blade in the sword just above the hilt? Those allow you to use a perpendicular grip with the sword when you want to, though it depends on the sword of course, some have that, some don't.
>It seems like locking your wrist against motion is a lot easier in that position than with it twisted outward to extend a sword’s blade.
Depends on the sword, indian katars are fairly effective at what they do and allow you a variety of motions that normal swords won't allow.
Bear in mind that the nature and purpose of the weapon itself dictates their shape and use, things like Bagh Naks were used for assassinations, so they had to be concealed effectively and made for ease of use, Bagh Naks especially were also used by women thanks to their nature as claws, which allows them to be effective even for people who aren't taught fencing since scratching and flailing is something anyone can do and doesn't even need strength.
Stilettos use to be basically giant needles so you could use them to puncture and pierce through mails or armors, things like Zirah Bonk daggers or other indo persian daggers had a similar function but retains also a sharpened part of the blade.

You're making the mistake of assuming your form should adapt to the weapon when it's the complete opposite, the weapon is born from the form, hence why there's so many different types of daggers from a stiletto to a kukri.

not him and i agree with you for the most part but with daggers a downward stab from the back into the neck or a upwards stab under the ribcage has the most force for lethality and katars cannot do that

Most of period of plate armor was shared with guns. By the late 16th century Japan already used firearms extensively.

Videogames usually feature high caliber revolvers as the "rare sidearm" and 9mm magazine fed pistols as the "generic sidearm", though, so the "revolvers are stronger" trope is completely fine.

And Iron technology was brought into Europe from Turkey.

>video games constantly push this myth that revolvers are "stronger" than pistols at the cost of barrels being less convenient than magazines, which is completely incorrect

That isn't "completely incorrect" as you can have substantially more powerful rounds in a revolver than you can in an auto-loader without having to make it into a retardedly impractical 5 pound brick like the Desert Eagle.

The biggest you can usually get in an autoloader without getting into giant meme pistols is 10mm Auto, whereas with revolvers you have .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and (sometimes) .454 Casull in reasonable sized guns. Obviously not all revolvers are chambered in the higher powered rounds, but on average there is some basis to the myth that revolvers are "stronger" than your average pistol.

A natural evolution of taste. Growing up and stopping the whole "whoa I'd be an epic longsword rank and file soldier" is what most people do.

Shobo and Suntetsu are pretty neat, you just hold them like a kubaton. Basically the rings can swivel, so you can flip between reverse grip and standard if you want to use a pointy end. Not crazy effective, but a decent less-lethal concealable option for the time.

Tinbe-rochin

The lord of the Japanese island, Tanegashima Tokitaka (1528–1579), purchased two matchlock muskets from the Portuguese and put a swordsmith to work copying the matchlock barrel and firing mechanism. The smith (Yaita) did not have much of a problem with most of the gun but "drilling the barrel helically so that the screw (bisen bolt) could be tightly inserted" was a major problem as this "technique did apparently not exist in Japan until this time." The Portuguese fixed their ship and left the island and only in the next year when a Portuguese blacksmith was brought back to Japan was the problem solved.[6] Within ten years of its introduction, over 300,000 tanegashima firearms were reported to have been manufactured.[7]

It wouldn't be impossible to use, look up the 3-section staff and it's mostly similar. Difference is the 3 section can be more easily stopped, but generally the attacks and spins should still be doable if you're an absolute madman

It annoys me how frequently this is gotten wrong. A bastard sword is smaller than a longsword, being a bastard between a longsword and a one handed sword. Otherwise known as a hand and a half sword depending on the time and due to the fact it is smaller and can generally only fit a hand and a half on the hilt. I don't understand how people mess this up

at this level of baiting I must tell you chose two handed fight in your first run.

Misnomer here is that swords are slashing weapons. Slashing is neither the prime nor a characteristic function of swords, it is just one of many things that swords can do and which individual makes of sword can specialise or despecialise in.

Your average euro sword is primarily a thrusting-stab and drawing-saw weapon, with slashing and blunt pummelling as secondaries.

It's amazing how little people know about Japanese combat and just take what people on youtube say as gospel.

Japan regressed itself culturally and technology and managed to remain frozen in time for several centuries. This lead to a bunch of stuff that only makes sense within the bounds of a "closed country", where a highly peculiar and specific ecosystem can take hold free of outside influences and thereby develop many oddities.

That being said, I genuinely think it looks somewhat cool, or at least aesthetic, but it's not really something I would like to wield in battle

It is, I got a bunch of pre-cut blanks from a website I found a while back, they sell all sorts of obsidian but the stock varies pretty wildly. I was able to get a bunch of standard blanks back when I found it, but I don't think they've restocked for a very long time. I've also got some banded and mahogany obsidian, but I find they're a little more difficult to work with, so I'm kinda afraid to start something with those out of fear that I'll ruin them and not be able to find more pieces.

Granted, those rocks are virtually the sharpest possible objects on Earth when properly knapped.

Sharp blades, like a glorified dagger, and the metallic ribs mean you can sort of use them as a shield, but being so short puts a lot of resistance against the wrist, so it cant really block any serious attack

2-handed sword, or a big hammer.

You need to read up on your history then because they were used in conjunction with the dancing and prostitution services they employed during the early periods of the musket and land wars. When the men of the various tribes were pimping out their wives to the whalers for access to powder, guns and grog they would carry said poi stuffed with rocks and sometimes greenstone to act as self defense weapon. Given the at the time women couldn't actively carry arms so they had this to cover that problem. The only reason why that isn't mentioned in the history books is because it contaminates the narrative that all Maori culture is proud and full of mana when during those times they were doing anything and everything to access to those sweet guns.

Whatever the weirdest/oddest weapon is. When I first played Demon's souls I used a pick simply because I honestly couldn't think of another game where I could.

There are plenty of games where you can use a sword/axe/bow. I'll always go for the oddest weapon option available, even if it isn't the best.

Shouldn't you be shilling for the Epic store front right about now Smou-Wang?

>flail
Is that a meme weapon or not?

I always come back to the longsword.

You should use it as a bow in the "katana mode", you do not want your bow to have that kind of tension length if you intend to use it. Remember, despite what movies have thought you being flexible is a BAD trait in bows, you want it as stiff as possible for draw weight and as "straight" as you can so it can be drawn better.

If those magic bolts or whatever was used in fastening of blades to the connecting handle are rigid enough to allow it to be used as a melee weapon then attach some high tension pull strings or springs or whatever to ends of the handles of blades and use the handle of the main... handle to release the blades so they can bend a bit backwards like in your pic, but not so that the springs/strings whatever would hold the blades firmly in the "katana mode"-position so some draw weight could accumulate. Stiffer the better.

It will still suck doe to tension length and add a sling to hand because why not, that grip fucked as is so may atlest keep the bow at hands react instead of dropping it after each shot.

>shittalking oars
Don't let Muramasa hear you say that user

Yes and no. Its a meme weapon that was rarely if ever used because its dangerous to yourself and does the same thing a much safer morning star or mace does. A flail is more of a psychological weapon because fighting someone spinning a ball and chain is pretty scary.

But that muzzle break and mag means it's a 5.45

It's a fucking PADDLE! How do you use this as a weapon? What twisted mind conceived of this as a weapon of combat?

Kinda but having the chain wrap around something is a good way to lose that weapon, its also decently heavy and worse thing is you could end up hitting an ally with it since it does spin and all.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>Growing up and stopping the whole "whoa I'd be an epic longsword rank and file soldier" is what most people do.

>Longsword
>Rank and file

Longswords are for knights and noblemen. Spears or Shortswords are for the Ranks.

Just imagine a squadron of samurai wielding these things

5.45 mags are aren't as curved as that, since 5.45 doesn't have tapered casing walls like 7.62 does

Kusarigama or tonfas will always be my go to weapons.

>and why the trident?
>well thats for scratching your ass

Swinging the chain-headed weapon around can develop a tremendous amount of wallop, but doing so is taxing enough to be impossible while moving at any speed or degree of control. You'd either put more energy in the movement and in doing so fail to sustain the swing, or you'd get careless and chock yourself in the skull.

So this means that chain-headed weapons are used either by people who aren't moving much, or by people who have some other means of movement at their disposal, such as horses.

>former case
The enemy can just back away from you and hit you with longer ranged attacks. Only if your weapon is longer ranged than anything they can pragmatically bring to bear against you will the chainhead be any direct threat. If that is the case, the enemy can still back away, which may be a win, loss or neutral depending on the circumstances. If the enemy for whatever reason wants to approach you or get past the area you are guarding, then the standing approach can be workable. This is the context in which east asian meteor hammers and the like functioned. The chains were long enough, and heads light enough, that a relatively static man could swing it in a wide arc and thereby occupy a huge area at a time. Movement denial in an environment with few missile or long ranged weapons and piss-poor armour is a big deal. Not so much in the historical european context however.

>horse case
A knight performing a purely hit-and-run case attack can benefit greatly from a short-chained, heavy-headed variant with a well-timed runup, winding swing and clobber. Should the knight get stuck in a melee however, he might find it less useful than a straightforward mace or any other regular non-chain weapon. A lance is quite similar in property despite the complete different built and operation of the item, with the difference being largely in the lance's favour, as a lance is still a workable polearm on foot.

Don't know about real combat, but it's sure fun as hell to use in Jugger

Ah yes, the Dinner Fucker.

Some sort of polearm, typically pole ax or halberd

>Bastard sword longer than a longsword
>That "falchion"

FFXIV MNK uses them from time to time.

Greatsword or Bastard Sword

I saw something about these being used to knock riders from their mounts. The reach can't be that good, can it?...

Shield and mace.

do any games offer actual flails?

Generally I pick either some form of a staff or hammer. However if there is a fist type weapon I pick that if it's viable /fun to play.

Double daggers
Rogue gameplay= best gameplay

nagamaki looks awkward as hell

Best of both worlds.

I really like spears/lances but they're usually brushed aside in favor of regular swords and shit.
