Did you know that Wooly Mammoths were alive at the same time the pyramids were being built? :^)
So you're saying wooly mammoths built the pyramids?

my personal favorite and probably the most practical out of the upper two, the gun katar packs a punch with two side mounted flintlock pistols.
I want one.. no, I want two.
the government wants to take your katars away
It's for my own personal protection I swear!
never, high capacity ammo dumpers are banned here, you don't need 2 bullets to kill an intruder

One particular Indian weapon that I find quite fascinating is the Pata sword, which is almost like a sword length Katar.
Here's a couple of nice examples I've seen a couple of those before, really neat stuff, Indian weaponry was really out there but many examples are surprisingly practical

 One of India's most iconic weapons excluding pollution and curry, The Katar is without a doubt intimidating just from it's implications alone. Hailing from the southern reaches of the country, the Katar initially came to prevalence within the Vijayanagara Kingdom (1336–1646) who, at the apogee of their power controlled virtually all of the Deccan. Vijayanagara kingdom at the height of it's power classified as a push dagger by modern standards, the design of the Katar is unique in the fact that when held, the blade is directly in line with the forearm of the user. This enables the primary thrusting action to be executed in the same manner as a punch, allowing the warrior to place the weight of his body behind his dagger blows similar to a boxer employing his hips into a knockout strike. An operator of the katar would employ the weapon not unlike that of the fists of a pugilist, aiming for the head/torso with a rapid Farage barrage of strikes. This method of attack is described in an Indian martial art dating from the 16th century which utilizes the use of two katars in each hand. Because the katar could deploy such powerful blows, many of the blades were thickened on specific points to prevent them from breaking or bending during battle. These improvments to the katars design helped it achieve a role as an armor piercing weapon. The katar could literally punch through cloth, mail, and even plate armor depending on the blade shape and steel used against an unfortunate opponent who's better at the stabbing? early forms of the weapon featured a leaf/shell like plate used to protect the back of the operators hand. These hand guards were often ornately decorated with piercings and displays of masterful file work. As the hand guard variant was gradually replaced in favor of the basic hilt design, numerous structural differences emerged alongside the evolving weapon. Longer narrow blades become popular in northern India while the wider curved/wavy blades resonated within the southern population.The advent of European trade bare witness to the importation of European blades, which were often repurposed onto katars dating from the 1500-1600s some interesting variations include..... scissor katars: When the two grips are squeezed the main splits in two to reveal a third blade, supposedly for parrying strikes and ripping out intestines.... Although i doubt the practicality of this thang it's an interesting design double bladed kitars: thanks to das and grapes I realized the resemblance between a katar and an energy sword. like the above variant, this was probably inferior to the standard katar my personal favorite and probably the most practical out of the upper two, the gun katar packs a punch with two side mounted flintlock pistols. as a final farewell I leave you with a clip of the historically inaccurate show deadliest warrior showing the katar in action. http://www.spike.com/video-clips/n60ut1/deadliest-warrior-insides-out

proper use of the gladius and evolution from the Hispaniensis to the Pompeii, please.
Even if the sword doesn't win this round, I'll be sure to include it in future articles

since everyone is making articles on the news forum I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon. Every Sunday unless i'm butt raped by both my work and my pastor, I'll discuss different blades employed by various cultures so for the first article it's a decision between... gladius aynd the really fucking weird but deadly Indian Katar push dagger (not a sword I know it's just the tittle) i'll also be discussing the different variants of each blade so.. vote u neg ———————————————————————— poll closed
winner: katar

Selective breeding is best breeding.
All of my pitbulls have been descended from world class fighting dogs who can trace their routs back to the earliest frontier apbts that rose during the late 19th century.
Obviously I condone any sort of animal cruelty including dog fighting. But it doesn't stop me from reaping the genetic rewards breeders have spent the last 100 years perfecting
