I'm sure at least one of these has been tried/made before...

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago

That middle one is some anime shit.

[-] affenlehrer@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

It's a bullpup design sword

[-] Malgas@beehaw.org 22 points 1 month ago

Top left somewhat resembles a real life technique called half-swording.

[-] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 month ago

True, but no one would ever put a handle there. At least not jutting out to the side like that.

I think it's been long enough that I forgot I don't like Munchkin, and want to play Munchkin.

Right alongside "Never get involved in a land war in Asia," and "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line."

[-] Stamau123@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

I think I'm going to steal that middle design for my Numenera campaign

Fun fact: "Zweihänder" is just German for "two-hand-er". 😅

[-] rompe@feddit.org 12 points 1 month ago

I'd pay to watch the top-right fight.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Its like fighting with a giant potato peeler

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Bottom left is my favourite. I want two dudes with those weird things to fight .

Somebody show this to Trudy & Doug of Oglaf.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Swords Comic too, I'm sure they could make one of these work.

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

Top left would have really good tip control and thrust-ability.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 17 points 1 month ago

That's because it's just a weird spear

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

It's a weird spear with a dangerous cutting blade near the wielder. All the danger of a long sword blade for the user, without the ability to use it for cutting or slashing because of the handle.

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Hmm. You have a good point there.

[-] killingspark@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah it's like halfgrip but you don't need to grab the blade

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Lower center one was a tennis racket in the late 90s iirc.

[-] teft@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

I never thought of bullpup swords. Genius Ai. Genius.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

top right is definitely something you'd see in a stupid 70s sci-fi movie as an alien's traditional duelling weapon.

Reminds me of Michael Jackson's Beat It, where the two gang leaders have one wrist tied together and their switchblades in their other hand.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

It would make for an interesting duel though. Can you maneuver the cutting part of the blade to somewhere dangerous while your opponent controls their handle?

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I love that the hands in the bottom center have too many fingers. 🤌

[-] EffortlessEffluvium@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

They all have too many fingers!

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I hadn’t noticed that! I zoomed in and it’s true! 🤣

[-] Rug_Pisser@piefed.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Double handed bastard sword.

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Now try reverse grip!

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 3 points 1 month ago

Bottom left: Empire greatswords vibe/stance.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

I'd like to imagine the wiggly fight in the upper right corner
