The Klingon Bat'leth
Could you have possibly picked a worse bat'leth photo than the first one?
I mean look how good it can look

And you just pick some fat guy with a piece of cardboard. You're a disgrace and without honor, petaQ'.
they seem so impractical
[editline]20th August 2014[/editline]
they were only designed to look alien and savage
They're only impractical until someone comes up with a way to properly use it.
I know what you're saying definitely applies to that, as it probably [I]could[/I] be used as a weapon. But the damn thing would never evolve in a society like the Klingons, they're so obsessed with constant killing that a weapon like that wouldn't last long if it was seeing repeated use by warriors if better weapons existed. And you could say "but it's a ceremonial weapon!" but even the majority of ceremonial weapons were used in actual battle at one point.

No that is dumb, weapons are tools with multiple uses in attacking and defending.
It would be like a powerdrill with 3 drills facing at outward angles. Looks cool I guess, but would be jack shit in uses and worth.
A spear can be used as a blunt weapon with the rear or side of the pole, a stabbing weapon with the blade or slashing. You can use it to trip someone, or tilt it to block a swing, hell you can use it to pitch a tent or go hunting.
Weapons that are successful have and can be used creatively for a variety of situations. That thing would wind down to swinging around like an idiot and hope no one catches one of the many hooks on it and flings it from your hands. Good luck hunting or fishing or pitching a tent with it too.
edit - hell if a weapon like a sword or a spear breaks you still have respective pieces you can use as last ditch weapons, if that cling-on-toiletpaper weapon broke you would now have a weapon with even more openings and hooks for it to get caught on.
It seems terribly balanced to me. Like, the entirety of the bulk is in front of and out of line with where the grip is, no matter how you hold it except like, horizontally above your head.
Maybe the Bat'leth was designed with gravity to aid it's use in mind
Well, the fuckin' Klingons made it work! What else do you want?!

Maybe it wasn't designed with anything but looking cool in mind
apparently this is how it's used

its kinda funny how the technique evolved between series, in TNG it was more of a staff-like weapon to block and grapple with the other guy, but by Voyager and Enterprise they just swung it around by one end like a big pointy sword using either end of it
[editline]20th August 2014[/editline]
i always thought with the way you hold it blocking would be damn near impossible since the thing would want to torque around your hand, most blocking weapons tend to have the hand perpendicular to the incoming force
for klingons it probably was made to be awkward to use since they're all about strength overpowering disabilities, really it makes the most physically strong person better than anyone else since technique is just useless with it,

"Six bullets...more than enough to kill anything that moves."
Is there such thing as a 8 round revolver in .44mag, or would that be akin to wielding a can of soda?
I don't recall there being any revolvers, but memory serving 8 rounds is the standard magazine capacity of the .44 Desert Eagles.

The most you'll get is eight rounds of .357, or 327, or 9mm.
.45 ACP, 45 LC, 41mag, 44mag, are all 6rds, .454 Casull, .460 and 500 S&W are 5rds.
Eight rounds of .44mag =

Nah, that's 4 rounds of something like 1.0 calibre.
Well, you can get a [url="http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_827551_-1_757767_757751_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y"]7 rounder .357 snubbie[/url]

and Taurus makes an 8-shot .357

somewhere, somehow, some crazy motherfucker must've made an 8 rounder .44
[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;45752508]Nah, that's 4 rounds of something like 1.0 calibre.[/QUOTE]
Yea, though they're probably somewhere near .700 NE with about 1/3rd the case length.

Not quite a 4 Bore though, judging by the size of them in his normal hand

Yea, I thought this had been tried before and deemed illegal, which is why the Tac Con trigger was such a big deal.

Bumpfire-stock that shit. With a full-auto sear. And a shoestring around the trigger.

Iirc someone mentioned earlier in this thread (or else it was in the War Thunder thread) that the A-1 Skyraiders engine was so powerfull. That trying to take off with full throttle, would make the plane spin around itself because the proppeller spun around so fast.
I can't exactly remember the correct words for it, so sorry for the rather vague explanation.
[editline]21st August 2014[/editline]
That thing was also so powerfull, that it could carry a larger amount of explosives than a B-17.
