    Default Weapon Proficiency

    You listed your favorite weapons, but what are you best with? In order if possible?

    Me= Hammer, Axe, Similar weapons of those classes like Maces, then Swords.

    I am also Very good with Guns and crossbows, but I am very out of practice with Long Bows and throwing knives.

    Have you ever actually handled a full sized battle axe? Or a war-hammer? This is not a dig on you, but judging from your pics, you do not seem the size to handle weapons that large.

    I dunno man...with your build I don't see how you'd have the stamina for such weapons...smaller ones like what Knights used in melee combat maybe but not the bigger two handed stuff.

    Those are much easier, but I can still handle the other types. I am out of practice, but I could probably handle them again.

    On a side note: Dual Swords are more My style, as the single handed and great swords feel extremely uncomfortable to use,for Me anyway.

    Its fun when a friend who sells/used to sell weapons like that lets you practice using them.

    As for weapons I have problems with: Bows with the strings(The firing, not the aiming), spears, javelins, lances, and throwing knives/stars. Great Swords, and some other types.

    I can lift great swords, but using them effectively, I need more practice.

    Actuall Proficiency? In order of lethality it would have to be:

    Assault Rifles, Medium range engagement
    Assault Rifles, Close Quarter Engagement
    Semi-Auto Pistol
    Lead Pipe
    Bar Room Brawl

    Never actually do any fighting or training with a sword, although I would imagine the short sword is very similar to a lead pipe. The only diffrence I could imagine is what part of the body you would aim for. A pipe (mace, baseball bat, etc.) is ment to smash, preferably breaking bone, so you aim for bonier parts of the body. Skull, knees, hips. But a shortsword is ment to hack, so you'd aim for fleshier parts of the body... sides of the stomach, back of the legs, armpits.

    Weapon proficiency? Well, I'd be the type of guy who would be best with a gun... I'd prefer the flintlock pistol because I would kill someone in the gentlemanly way... lol

    Why a gun? Because I have no physical strength of course... and I'm ugly... nuff said

    This list could be long if I listed every gun and rifle I have experience with so I'll just list my absolute favourites...

    Rifle : .50 Cal Barrett Long Range Single Shot
    Assualt Rifle : Steyr C90 or the .45 H&K Tac MP
    Pistol : Modified Colt 1911A1 (I have one) or Glock .40

    I average a 98% on the Rifle at 400 & 600 metres, the AR and Pistol I can normally get about a 95% at the standard 25 metres.
    That's about it... I get to play with a fuckload of very expensive toys.

    I'd pay to see that. Sounds like there might be a new Starwars Kid, heh.

    I'm pretty good with nunchuka, and can do a lot of the more complicated switches and passes, like the behind-the-back grab to opposite side strike.

    I can also throw playing cards very well, and believe it or not, they can hurt if you do it right!

    I've used many weapons, both as practise and in war. My favourite is the Browning 9mm simply because it is easy and efficient, although a Beretta wouldn't have been too far behind. For automatic weapons I prefer the HK models; compact and easy to handle, easy to care for and efficient. Semi-automatic, well, it makes no difference. Rocket propelled grenade launchers through to tanks with multilaunch rocket systems inbetween. Larger automatic weapons such as the Bren gun (now no longer in use, sadly) and other larger calibre weapons, also no problem.

    Never needed to use any close contact weaponry, although I've trained in close contact and trained others. A simple sharp and reliable knife suffices there.

    In everyday civilian life I'm forced to fall back on two hands and steel toecaps, but they seem to work just as efficiently too.

    I'm fine with a 9mm Beretta Miami. Other than that, like in a serious hand-to-hand fight, I like broken beer bottles, when I see myself going down.
