Ah, the glorious Wikipedia.

yep it was easier than going over my knowledge of weapons. you will note that the toxon is not there it is a Greek bow used buy Heracles.
it just seams to me that there are 50 people running around with daggers and 40 with bows.

Heh thats pretty much sums up camp

it just seams very generic i hope the list can shake things up.

What, no sais?
This seems like an overkill, really. A sword is a sword, and no extra milimeter, or slight curvature, or hook, or anything is going to change that. To many words to name the same basic thing. Sub-catagories, I can handle, but this seems like they're trying to name every single blade ever made, like a 'no two are exactly alike' thing. That's just my own opinion though, if any of you actually want to use any of these for your weapons, go ahead, just make sure you know exactly what it is before you do, and make sure you can spell it easily before adopting it.

yeah the ballock dagger isn't there either.
im just hopeing to help others chose a weapon that isnt generic.

Well we should try to stay in Greek weapons but really changing the amount of metal to pokinking the sword with a stick in a fire really change the way sword is used. For instance. I use a katana and long sword a ging and a brawd sword. They all are Very different. I also use a load sword.

are you kidding try and tell the admins that they cant have there Japanese weapons.
