No need for an AR-15 when you have a FUCKING WAR HAMMER!!!!!traditional weapons home defense thread
>>879354387BEC DE CORBIN FTW!!!
>>879354387A warhammer/warpick or a kriegsmesser (literally a small twohander that cuts like a katana) are the greatest medieval weapons created, good work OP
>>879355215>that cuts like a katanaSo it cuts like shit? The messer is several times better than the shitana.
>>879356053best home defense melee is a crowbar.Hefty, short so good in close quarters, hooked end for grabbing if you need it, solid construction literally just a metal bar.
>>879357219Also is very cheap and readily available. No license required.Maybe if you welded a handguard / affixed a better grip to it it would be better, but then you reduce it's function as a tool.
>>879357219Best? Not even close You can use an axe to hook as well and it does significantly more damage to tissue.
If you kill a man, you are a murderer. Whether you shoot him with a pistol, stab him with a knife, bludgeon him with a hammer, or beat him to death with your bare hands you are just a murderer.But if you kill him with an axe, you are an AXE MURDERER.No other weapon gets that.
>>879357777>more damage to tissueoh wow a flesh wound compared to a broken arm.>>879358041>you are an AXE MURDERERNow this is an argument in favor of the axe.
>>879358041BASED. Also there are a multitude of AXE related puns.
>>879358224>flesh woundA severed fucking arm is a little more than a "flesh wound", dingus. An axe can still be used whilst grappling as you can hold it by the top and use it like a knife, a crowbar is useless up close. Plus, if a crowbar is so great why have axes been used in combat for 1000's of years and crowbars NEVER have?
>>879358412Clearly you've never played Half-Life.
>>879358412Clubs are even older weapons than axes, an axe is essentially just a sharpened club. A crowbar has a modern shape, but in essence it is the same old weapon we have used since we were barely more than apes.
>>879358041TOP KEK
>>879355215Not great for home defense, but also the polax. For home defense I'd want a gladius or landsknecht sword or a short bludgeoning weapon.
>>879358412>A severed fucking armI would love to see you take your fireman's axe to a ballistics gel arm and sever it completely.
>>879358412>A severed fucking arm is a little more than a "flesh wound",I've had worse.
>>879354387nothing like that satisfying *donk* when you make contact.
>>879358620Yes, and clubs were supplanted BY axes. I'm not saying crowbars can't be used for defense, or even excel at it. I'm saying axes are objectively better for fighting unarmoured opponents.
>>879358761Damn it.
>>879358729Mate literally just look it up on YouTube. There are thousands of videos. And who said "fireman's axe"? They would still sever an arm though.
>>879358956>would severCould, the implication being that YOU can't do it, not that the axe can't.
All of you are shitting.A flail with a long chain is obviously the best.
>>879359090That's what I'm saying... Even a fireman's axe could easily sever a limb.
>>879354387Halberd master race reporting in
>>879354387Fuck yeah, swords are over rated
>>879359792Hello there, nice halberd
>>879360066They are, but in cqc I'd prefer something I can get stabby with like a short sword.
>>879361002Yeah you are right
>>879358798Against heavily armored enemies an edge will not penetrate. Would need a very sharp spike to pierce or a blunt weapon to deal harm. Swords gave way to clubs, maces and hammers against chain and plate mail.
>>879361002For me it's my herpes and monkeypox infected penis.
>>879361519If a bunch of knights or men are arms invade your home you're just as fucked as if it was swat.
>>879354387I like the fauchard fork.Gives knives blade envy.
>>879354387>picks a weapon designed for piercing heavy metal armorAre you regularly attacked by knights in full regalia?And if so, why exactly are you inciting the Deus Vult anons.
>>879362104They all have dicks that can be sucked.It's common sense, knee pads are the only home defense any rational person needs
>>879354387Nothin beats a pair of Trish
>>879358720>landsknecht swordYou mean a greatsword?
>>879359792>>879360169The weapon of neutrality.
>>879362308>thinks hammers can pieceBlunt weapons user, were used, when armor became thicker and stronger, and was used to mainly whale on someones head, in hopes of concussing them, or, through sheer force, knocking them over, to then bludgeon their head.You want to pierce armor? use a sword, no, not an ''old school'' medieval sword, a long sharp, thin bladed sword. or a bow and arrow.
>>879358225Sheeeeit. Nigga was axing fo' it
>>879358224Not if you're a cop.If you're a cop and kill someone with an axe, then you're not a murderer. You're AXE COP!
>>879362417no its a Katzbalger
>>879362261>blade curves toward the cutting edgeThis a farm tool or someshit?
>>879362567If I'm not mistaken landsknecht often used those famous greatswords with the jagged blade (I forget their specific name) as a means to counter the pike
>>879362494>misericordes you
>>879362597Ever head of a falx?
>>879354922If somebody has broken into your home, you don't want a long weapon that you have to swing because it will hit walls and furniture and basically just be awkward to wield indoors
>>879362597You're just blade envious.
Hey guys I don't really have a lot of money but I brought a knife from my kitchen. Can I still hang out?
My favorite polearm is the glaive
>>879362494>use a sworddaggers are far superior against armored foes and the swordsmanship technique for fighting an armored opponent (halfswording) essentially seeks to emulate a dagger
>>879354387>>>/k/Also the answer is an AR15, full 30 rnd mag with 62gr soft points, and a good light mounted to it
>>879362749That's your kitchen knife?What are you, Australian?
>>879358224>oh wow a flesh wound compared to a broken armIt doesn't matter what for an injury takes. A real fight will be over the moment one of the fighters sees his own gaping wound
>>879362765You just need a better sword>pssshhew>pssshhew>pssshhew
>>879361519Medieval axes had spikes and hammers dude. And last time I checked people don't run around wearing plate armour anymore, so it's a moot point anyway.
>>879362659Like a zweihander? Yeah, they did. Should've specified katzbalger like other user said.
>>879362844>A real fight will be over the moment one of the fighters sees his own gaping woundThat's the advantage of having blind fighters.

>>879362914>And last time I checked people don't run around wearing plate armour anymoreno you didnt
>>879354387Being a mall-ninja is cringe though.
>>879358041i think a gun is the only wepon you can legally kill someone with in America. like if someone breaks in and attacks you and you start stabbing the shit out of him you could be tried for murder because you excessively stab him past what is necessary to defend yourself oh and in FL you can run people over if they attack your vehicle
I'd just shoot all you eurofags and call it a day. Even a .22 would beat you're dumb little axe.
>>879363075what's a mall
>>879363096*your
>>879363085>i think a gun is the only wepon you can legally kill someone with in AmericaWrong. Self defense laws specify use of lethal force, not a list of weapons that apply that lethal force.
>>879363192It's called auto correct faggot
>>879363235depends on the state, not everywhere has stand you ground laws
I don't want to harm my opponent, just want to make them scared. A broken bone is still okay. What is my weapon?
>>879363455not every state has freedom
>>879363455I suppose I need to specify Florida even though he already specified Florida.
>>879363336>admits to being a phone poster
>>879363488Scourge
>>879363488Get naked and start screaming
>>879363488Fucking punch them at that point “oh I don’t want to wound a person who might rob, rape and kill me” Christ just leave your door unlocked and your arse gaped at that point.
>>879363597I am a pacific creature, don't want to kill anyone by accident. Not talking about the consequences. Most people are risk-avoidant, just like me. That's why nobody keeps swords for self-defense, only gypsies and retards.
>>879362914No they didn't.Poleaxes and Halberts did, as well as variations, but "an axe" was just an axe blade.
>>879363075ninja don't have warhammers.
>>879363811>I am a pacific creatureFucking fish.
you all talk like you have room to swoosh around your long-hafted compensation symbols when you're home-defending every nook and cranny of your invaded homethis and a buckler, tunnel-fighting style ftw
>>879363566Pretty smart, I wouldn't go close to a guy with a scourge in his hand. Not sure about indoor usage
>>879363075but maul-ninja is cheating
>>879354387I'm going to get super jacked and go on a mass hammering just so the left can call for a banning of assault hammers.
>>879354387Impact weapons only work with range to swing, bad call for indoor engagements. Practically speaking a short spear or a spear point blade like a roman gladius are the best options indoors. Neither requires much finesse or swinging to inflict greivous wounds. Hacking, slashing, and impact only work in large spaces.
>>879364040needs more edges
>>879364108this "hammer" is aluminum-plated balsa, because the dude couldn't lift the 800kg of steel this thing would weight
>>879364220that's not an axe that's a scythe
>>879358041I have a little walmart hatchet i stole when I was homeless. Idk how tf I got away with it, I'm a tiny dude and I just shoved this big ass obvious package into my pants and walked out. Well I robowalked out because I extremely fucked up on DXM so I have to guess they just didn't want to deal with my mess
>>879355215Jesse Pinkman is selling swords on the home shopping channel now?
>>879364255really they're closer in nature to a pickaxe
The AR is 60 years old.It IS a traditional weapon.
>>879363526
>>879364245Idk what it is, I just know it kills orcs and darkies good.
>>879364390YEAAAAAHHHH!!!
>>879364390Chad
>>879364137we should be fighting to have access to better weapons not going back to the bronze age
>>879364459you mean, Flori, Da-Man
HAMMER WITH DAKKA
>>879364104>maul-ninjait works in a d&d build
>>879364848Rocket propelled hammer is OP, nerf it to the ground now.
>>879364848nice
>>879363939>No they didn't.Are you unironically fucking retarded?
why use a i blade when you could use something that will terrify the fuck out of intruder
I have a big ass wrench leaning between my bed and nightstand prolly would be decent
fucking zoomers get out of this thread
>>879368135getting real tired of your shit, Grug. Pointy sticks is better than rock.
i wonder what the legality of installing a flamethrower on you car is
