Katana?

Yeah, I heard that they think the katana is the single most superior sword ever made. It's not, that title belongs to the zweihandler.

Oh the actual sword.

If you want to go down that path, all except the most retarded of weapons are the best weapons depending on how they are used. A katana is the best weapon for X fighting styles, a long piece of word (staff) is also the best weapon for Y fighting styles. X can beat Y and Y can beat X.

Also, zweihandler? Really? Not really a great sword for actual combat.

I guess so. Comparing Zweihandlers to Katanas is like comparing the musket to the Lee Enfield rifle.

In most gun restrictive countries and states, a musket is way way better than a lee enfield, because you do not need to register or own a license for one, but you do for all other fire arms.

I want to take up black powder long arms for that same reason here, but my gun safe is already pretty full.
