Ahoy lads! I'm doing mod on Warband about Russian Campaign in 1812. At least half of the mod is finished, so I started to translate him in English. So I have some questions.
1. How to call this weapon? "shpaga, epee, smallsword" etc
2. What is the survivability of a man after being hit from a musket/pistol?
3. Did the French replenishment by french troops in the Russia?
I will bump the thread 10 times and roll to the /his.

4. Did the troopers use gloves in the battles?

But there is another sword called rapier
>>
>>32081906
many musket balls were made of lead or pewter so if you survived the shot initially you'll likely die of either blood loss, lead poisoning or infection

For the third, I mean "Did the French received reinforcements of the French (that's French, not allied) troops while in Russia?
Thanks for answers.

That looks more like a broadsword or a backsqord depening on if the back is sharp. If it isnt it's a backsword. /tg/ might help you out more on this.

/tg/ here
In spite of the fancy guard, that seems to be a thick, heavy sword. It would likely be longer than the picture shows. Given your time period, I would focus on rifles for infantry and sabres for cavalry. Cavalry sabres are going to be the most common blade you might see on the field at that time. As a melee option for infantry, let them take a small thrusting dagger. It would be rare to see a anything like a rapier or epee wielded by a French or Russian soldier in combat in 1812.
/k/ knows more about it, but the likelihood of surviving musket shot is initially very low... depends on where you get it but anywhere near center mass you're probably done for within minutes or immediately.

1.) Absolutely a rapier. If you wanna get into semantics you could call it a sidesword (or even a smallsword, depending), but desu even the people who wrote about this when they were being used couldn't keep this shit straight. Use any term you want. Hell, just call it 'sword' and anyone who cares can fill in the blanks.
3.) Not to my knowledge. The Grande Armée was just kind of a massive lump sum of Frenchmen.
