Is there ANY advantage to a saber-type weapon in a present or

Swords are cool.

More to the point, the lightsaber could plausibly cut through anything given time to work. Considering how small the thing is in it's off state, I'd carry one around just for the utility. Cut open doors, cut through hull plate, cut open stubborn packaging, even make toast. No, I don't know if lightsabers can make toast but I'm willing to try.

Saber is the cutest, outside of the new Rider everyone is talking about.

There is NOTHING cute about sabers. There's only death and destruction and SALT.

There will always be swords because hitting people with metal objects is fun.

Someone ran the math on a lightsaber being hot enough to cut through things the way it does. It was hot enough that anything non-steel pretty much flashed over in a 30m radius when it would be turned on.

Hopefully by then California will have stopped outlawing the shoulder thing that goes up.

>>35006800
Well that's definitely hot enough to make toast.

Also boarderline bullshit due to arcwelders basically doing the same thing but not having the same effect.

>>35007038
>arcwelders cutting a 1-2 inch gap per few inches per second of few inch deep metal

not lying, what kinda arc welding do you do, it must be fucking radical

Don't make me post that SAO webm.

If you mean a fancy futuristic laser sword that's only a handle when it's not activated then absolutely, especially if it's capable of cutting through barriers.

>Why are there always swords?
Rule of cool.

Easier to carry at your side than a polearm and better than a knife. Kinda like how a handgun is easier to carry at your side than a rifle and better than a derringer

>>35009159
Derringers are handguns Anon.

>>35009183
Kinda like how an autoloader/revolver is easier to carry at your side than a rifle and better than a derringer

Is that better?

>>35009207
Yes.

I prefer the floor length hair Rider. She was pure sex.

I remember reading somewhere that lightsabers use a magnetic field to control & shape the plasma So maybe that'll hold the heat back.
