If all guns were banished and all we had for weapons was Swords/Blades what kind would u choose?

[Spence]

Give me the boomerang knives Blade was rocking in 1998 (yes I know they aren’t real) but they would double as claws, projectile weapons, and defense hand weapons all in one. It would force your opponent to try to chop your hand off which isn’t easy

chinese fire lances are spears so ima go with that. spear, shotgun and flamethrower all in one?

Spears take less time to train and they out range most melee weapons. It doesn't matter how well trained you are with a katana, you won't strike a spearman unless the spearman fukks up.

This is why spear formations were used, world wide, up until the 16th century and into the firearm age. Get 1000 man in a tight formation with their spears up and they were nearly unstoppable. We'd still be fighting like this if it weren't for guns.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

CO2 knife.

 

[TrifeGod]

Two heavy Axes

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

One like counter strike so I can spin it around and inspect it

 

[Raw Sauce]

That spear work.

Impressive. Another great thing about the spear is you don't even really need a ton of training to be effective with it unlike pretty much every other kind of melee weapon.

ALMIGHTY CLAYMORE.

Come fukk with me.

 

[Wubzy]

I'd use a spear to keep you mfs at distance

 

[BlackMajik]

Closest thing to Trunks' sword

 

[BlackMajik]

Another blade i'm gonna get. The Magnum Tanto XII

 

[IIVI]

Probably katana.

Seems pound-for-pound to have the widest use case: short or long range, can wield with one hand for agility, two hands to strike with power, quick, sturdy, can conceal, lightweight to travel with or fight long term with, etc.

Plus there are a ton of techniques.

Spear next up, as long as you don't let them in close.

 

[Jahbarri]

Abyssal whip if u play runescape IYKYK and spec out with DDS

Depends, you come up on someone with a decent skill with the broadsword/plate armor that boy getting snapped in half. BUT if we assume that people aren't armored, Katana totally the way to go.
I feel like I'd have a Katana on the hip but a spear if I know it's about to get froggy. A six-foot spear is the bane of a swordsman's existance.
