i cant post images due to file range ban so we just use a puukko which is like a knife
Blake Bell
>tfw no modern period swords.
At least NCOs get British tradition sabers but thats about it.
Camden Cooper
Who needs swords?
Luis Mitchell
Well that guy, apparently.
Angel Cook
Not a sword but more of a dagger
This is the maru
The traditional Tamil weapon of a huntsman's
Created by using black buck horns
The only other iconic Tamil weapon is aruval
Aaron Murphy
Jokes on you, mate, that's not a sword, that's a sabre
Easton Russell
how do you hold it?
Jordan Foster
That looks really unique, dunno about the handle seems too impractical.
There's a lot of different swords but i always liked medieval longswords.
Parker King
You see the gap between the two horn's ?
That's where your finger goes
Your hand must be inside the horns so that it can't be knocked out of your hands easily
It's similar in use same as Katar or Katari
You have seen Katar Right
?

You mean this guy?

Migration period szablya

That's Katran
That's was a nice game Tbh
Nolan Bailey
God bless for the szablya
Jason Green
Modern huszárszablya
Jason Price
Unironically the best looking saber design
Joseph Jones
My grandpa had this exact same one but with a "safety tip" so nobody would stab themselves with it.
Althought he did have a sabre with a sheath and everything.

Landon Jackson
That's a pollaxe or bardiche, mates, not a sword or a sabre.
Brandon Roberts
Pretty aesthetic
They are talking about the sword on his hip
Jose Wilson
I was always wondering whether using a bardiche to support the gun gave a significant improvement in accuracy
Blake Gray
Definitely better support gave him a better shot
Jack Thompson
>a gun, a halberd, and a sword
>on the same fucking person
Ask me how I know this is a bullshit picture
Jose Richardson
some of the namesake "Sharp's Shooters" during the US civil war were trained to a shooting stick in a similar way
Might have been the introduction of Minie ball ammo that made the real difference, but some of them became downright legends in their day.
Angel Rogers
Well, he ain't using the thing on his hip there, is he.
Luke Richardson
It looks to have been the standard strelets equipment
Landon Watson
india is full of wacky blade design
Aaron Gutierrez
The tip, what is it used for? Looks like a bootle opener?
Levi Barnes
all look like yatağan
Kevin Miller
That's a pretty fucking cool weapon.
This too. I'm not sure it's sikhs or indians who had those crazy whip swords and rings.
This too
We also had sabli (kylych in tatar or bulat, but i think bulat is the name for steel), i think it's the most common weapon in eastern europe.
Caleb Morgan
Yatagan looks different, mate, but you also had similar swords but not yatagans.
Jace James
>Yhatagan
> used from the mid-16th to late 19th centuries
>Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin around 895 AD
So weird that similar tools emerge from similar constraints, right?
Lucas Mitchell

know your own blade m8
Oliver Ward
Looking at migratory period hungarian finds, I found this cool looking knife
If you are into this kind of autism, there is while bunch of cool stuff from the region here, from before the arrivals of magyars up to the 19. century arcanum.hu
Just look at the titles with "fegyver" for weapons, armour and horse stuff, "ékszer" for jewels and "viselet" for clothes
Parker Walker
Jonathan Hughes
not even close compared to this
imagine the kino action sequence with this
Michael Moore
That's ALSO from india
It's from kerala though
Alexander Diaz
What I linked is from Kerala too. Used by kalaripayatu practitioners
Sebastian Clark
yeah, we're discussing wacky indian blade aren't we?
Colton Ortiz
Kalaripayatu is from kerala yes
They also train with Katari BUT they didn't invent it ^they invented this though
Jason Jones
they are all have both of those elvish and demonic quality, which make them interestingly exotic
Jaxson Thomas
Still the most iconic weapon from South India is probably aruval
It's like Ak47 of south india
Cheap , reliable and dependable
Brody James
From actual wars to street gang fights
Aruval is still relevant after all these year's

Ancient Guns in India
ANCIENT Fire-Arms:
There are certain references in Ancient Puranas regarding use of fire arms. But we don’t have solid proof regarding this as puranic stories are either called as symbolic or myths.
But Chanakya aka Kautilya -the ancient genius on politics,economies and strategies mentions the use fire arms.The proximity of India to China(land of gun powder) also plays an important factor about Firearms in ancient times.
It would be interesting to examine the true nature of the agneya-astras. Kautilya describes agni-bana, and mentions three recipes – agni-dharana, ksepyo-agni-yoga, and visvasaghati. Visvasaghati was composed of ‘the powder of all the metals as red as fire or the mixture of the powder of kumbhi, lead, zinc, mixed with the charcoal and with oil wax and turpentine.’ From the nature of the ingredients of the different compositions it would appear that they were highly inflammable and could not be easily extinguished.
A recent writer remarks:
‘The Visvasaghati-agni-yoga was virtually a bomb which burst and the fragments of metals were scattered in all directions. The agni-bana was the fore-runner of a gun-shot…..
Sir A. M. Eliot tells us that the Arabs learnt the manufacture of gunpowder from India, and that before their Indian connection they had used arrows of naptha. It is also argued that though Persia possessed saltpetre in abundance, the original home of gunpowder was India. It is said that the Turkish word top and the Persian tupang or tufang are derived from the Sanskrit word dhupa. The dhupa of the Agni Purana means a rocket, perhaps a corruption of the Kautaliyan term natadipika.

Forget to attach pic
Jackson Campbell
As opposed to other ancient and medieval weapons, which were expensive, unwieldy, and constantly broke during battle
Luis Thompson
Most beheadings and gang executions in south is by using aruval
You can even throw it someone
Like an Axe
Jack Martin
Jordan Bell
I wish we had more cool historical shit.
I do own an antique german sabre which is pretty neat.
Chase Allen
adopted here, very versatile blade, used as bot weapon and tool.
patrician design
Mason Hall

James Brooks
we dont have special sword only dagger called keris
Aiden Hill
no exactly sword but a dagger...glock of its time since its so widespread in south east asian countries
Jose Scott

Beheadings and gang executions are common in India?
Every indian ive ever known has been just a friendly dorky kind of guy, they dont strike me as violent people at all.
Brandon Murphy
>He doesn't know
KeK
Well , we can't blame you for it
Most dorks and nerds you meet abroad are harmless and often emigrate to escape from violence
Most of these gangsters and other criminal elements are under constant government watch they definitely won't get visa clearance to travel abroad even as a tourist
Speaking of beheadings yes
It's very common
Unlike american or south American gangs most don't use guns they prefer close and personal
Most criminals here just straight up hack people in broad day light as a sign of strength and to send a message
Hit and run , poisoning , bombing are all seen as cowardly and unmanly
You wanna know why beheadings is more common ?
Because of the availability of aruval and other "tools" since south India has an Agarian background
Government doesn't consider them as a weapon
They have termed it as an agricultural tool
So almost every house has one
In case of any emergency the first thing they reach for is the aruval from farmers to merchants in the market everyone has an aruval
So you can easily get hacked or beheaded in south
Camden Robinson
Thats interesting.
Some countries seem to have agressive or violent people by nature but every single indian ive ever known has been friendly and harmless
Nathan Ward
In South India murder means being cut into pieces
Gavin Young
are you retarded or what
Jason Brown
Just ask any south east Asian especially malaysian or a Singaporean
About 85 percent of their total violent organized crime is perpetuated by tamil (south indian) gangsters they ACTUALLY drove out the Chinese triads out of business
Also they constitute only 7 precent of the total population
