I think history in general should've stayed with the sword in some way.
Imagine, the Sword Gun. Not a sword that has a gun, but an actual gun or cannon that shoots longswords. Imagine if planes were equiped with this technology, shooting sabers at one another, or a hand cannon that shoots rapiers. Satellite controlled boomerang swords, drone-controlled swords.
Bitches love sword cannons and Machine swordguns
OP is a faggot.
Immediately thought of this
OP is a massive faggot
What if Sword Technology would become so advanced, we'd give swords AI? Would there be sword marriage laws? Swords ghettos, real estate, sword communities? What about sword matrixs?
OP is a gigantic faggot.

That is three levels of fucked up.
First off, swords are not a projectile weapon. You should have picked out something that is, like axes.
Second, in the first place, swords were a mistake! Spears were better. It's just that autists everywhere are so fucking ignorant that they insist on clutching to silly shit like two handed swords, when polearms were generally far more useful and effective.
Third, you need to think more outside the box. Like mutated seabass with phrickin' phazer beams attached to their heads! Or dogs that shoot bees out of their mouths.

Swords were remarkably useful though.
If they hadn't been, how come they become successful? Why did they not just stop making them?
Warfare is a buffet, blood is just the sauce.

Swords were only feasible by exploiting the masses, through farcical hierarchies, that circumvented the public will by forcing everyone to accept that someone has a hereditary right to rule predatorily just because some watery tart threw a sword at someone!
A whole lot like the five-seven!
And when opposition to them did not cooperate effectively, when spears, halberds and such became competitive!

Flail, axe, morning star. Or a shield. The shield is probably presumed to be paired with a shield, so spear and shield seems expectable.
And the point was that the sword is too expensive. That implies you have one ultra fancy knight against 3 normal, not all that armored guys with polearms.
