/k/ should be renamed from 'Weapons' to 'Guns'

>>34661281
It isn't strictly a gun board.
It's just that 99% of the shit that's relevant nowadays is a firearm.

Sword, knife, and other melee weapons threads pop up frequently, just lurk more.

Wanna talk about swords faggot? Then make a sword thread. Nothing stopping you.

>>34661281
shit, would have never guessed with the knife thread, tank thread, people talking about nukes, aircraft, melee warfare, and whatnot

>>34661281

Wut. There's knife threads, bow threads, military equipment (modern and historical) threads, hand to hand threads, and even fucking HEMA threads. That being guns have been the dominant weapons of war for 400 years so yeah, we talk about guns, a lot.

hi leddit

>>34661281
This board doesn't even know the true military might of China and only believes the misinformation of America. So it should be American guns.

>>34661685
>true military might of China
Yes we do and Chinks suck duck balls while getting stuck on elevators.

>>34661281

You must be new here. Not rare to have multiple edge weapon threads, cause niggers can't check the catalog.

We like swords and all that shit, we just dont like the autists and trolls who act like swords are superior over guns.

>>34661685

They have a huge army, they don't got the means to move the troops. While the u.s. military has a huge army and decent means to move them, we dump so much time, money into other means, that we can fuck you up with never setting boots on the ground. That's fucking them up with not using nukes.

>>34661685
True might of china? You mean sending out millions of untrained grunts while we bomb them with our air superiority?

The knowledge of sword use died with their users: in a hail of gunfire.

>>34661815
To be fair, we can fuck them up without setting any boots on the ground because they built a giant dam which is also the cornerstone of their entire country. China has a glass jaw.

>>34661281
Swords nowadays aren't weapons, they're just toys for autistic faggots and teenagers to have to make themselves look cool or edgy. We have knife threads all the time, though.

>>34661828

Yeah. They had a chance to be a true super power. Due to bad decisions (Both military and civilian) they're fucked.

>>34661827
No it didn't. There are treatises and manuals ranging from the 14th - 19th centuries. Everything from medieval sword and buckler to Victorian-era infantry sword exercises and bayonet fencing.

>>34661281
Because guns are the best way to kill people. Take your faggy katana fanfiction back to /a/

why not "military"?

>>34661320
Sauce?

>>34661685

We're not fantasy larping faggots with bad taste in home decor. We actually enjoy the sporting aspect of our weapons, as well as their self defense aspects, and today that means guns.

You could have just made a thread about your precious cold steel gladius and kabar you love so much.

>>34661281
It's not strickly a gun board, guns just dominate.

We also talk about knives, ammo, holsters, tanks, plans, carriers, combat tactics, armor, railguns, nukes, missiles, and plenty of other shit.

Actually, bombs are but you don't always have a bomb on hand.

>How come /k/ is supposed to be the weapons board, yet 99% of you /k/unts have no fucking clue about anything else than guns (and hardly even that).This is strictly a gun board, isn't it?


Hello
I am a 30 year student of all weapons, I maintain large private collection and work as an insurance consultant for auction houses and large private European collectors. Before you being to ask me anything please understand I do not consider modern reproductions weapons of interest any more than a Chinese manufactured crowbar.

>>34661281
Do you consider the omission of the spadroon style bishops hat stirrup hilt sabre from the British cavalry sword from 1600 by Charles Martyn a fatal flaw in an otherwise good book OP? Should sabres with 1780 style spadroon hilts be considered as flank officer or light cavalry swords?

What do you think OP?

Guns are actually useful tools.
A sword or spear is a toy and a novelty at best.

Really all there is to it.

>A sword or spear is a toy and a novelty at best.

Be pretty pointless with retards like you who think warfare and hunting began with the invention of the firearm
