#I was gonna mention that the Italians had a very-well engraved mace specifically for children to use and train with

What do you think is the weirdest/silliest weapon ever?

I think maces are really funny because you had increasingly complicated halberds and glaives that parried swords and had numerous hooks for fighting cavalry at different positions, but the single most effective method of killing a guy that ignored both chainmail and plate armor was a stick. Just hit the fella. Smack him. The Japanese had a Bo staff that was pretty cool.

I think the duckfoot pistol is funnier though.

why is babygirl shooting four evenly spaced fellas? Why are they evenly spaced? It’s a flintlock so it can be preloaded, but it’s flabbergastingly funny that someone used this.

Combination weapons were more symbols of ingenuity than anything else, like modern fashion shows, but they’re so funny. here’s an axe-pistol flintlock and a percussion (I think) mace-pistol. Babykins wants to spend a solid minute loading the thing then smack ya with it.

This one’s the best. It has 6 barrels, (a secret sexy one is in the handle) is a wheel lock (very hard to clean, maintain, or even repair, but objectively better than a match lock) has a detachable axe head cover, and would be almost impossible to comfortably aim. I think it’s a parade tool more than anything else but what’s going on with this thing? I’m gonna shoot 5 evenly spaced dudes, shoot a secret 6th guy then smack someone else. I love this thing. We used to make cool things.
