Think of how much healthier we'll all be with the regular exercise of training with our various weapons will bring?

That and poison coating and syringe killings might make a big comeback.

I was thinking more a la dexter ghost poking from behind.

Actually now that I think about it Flamethrower tech would be the new mass killing weapon. I think you could make a pressure tank and fuel source small enough to light up a fair distance, plus if you do it wrong you just explode.

Halberds are weapons of war OP they have no place on the streets. No honest man needs more than a longsword, rapier or grosse messer.

You don't even need weapons to harm people.

"I've always told people that for each person there is a sentence--a series of words--which has the power to destroy him........
another sentence exists, another series of words, which will heal the person. If you're lucky you will get the second; but you can be certain of getting the first: that is the way it works." - Philip K. Dick, VALIS

The problem, as I see it, is that a large underground halberd modding scene will emerge. This will be - no joke - an arms race. You'll see halberds with swords for handles, and tactical halberd with maces and morningstars attached to both ends. Don't even get me started on the halberd made of smaller halberd that you can split apart in the heat of battle and shower your opponent with tiny halberds.

Too much, I say. When will it end? Won't somebody think if the children?

OP you do know that sword fights in real life aren't like fencing or the plays you see at the medieval festivals, right?

Real sword play is like UFC fighting with sharp sticks. It's dumb looking and eventually you're ontop of a sweaty man in chainmail.

So like your larp games every month.

After 24 hours of this brave new world, once-giddy nerds will demand to have guns back. Surprisingly, experience watching anime is not nearly as effective as physical fitness in a gunpowder-free world.

That's one of the reasons why knives/daggers/swords were go to personal defense weapons during the middle ages and early modern period (well, at least through a good chunk of the 17th century. started declining in popularity pretty quickly). kind of hard to easily carry a 6-9 foot object with you all the time, especially if you just want to grab a drink or something.
