The gauntlet's been thrown, choose your weapon!

Nope, you wouldn't. A rapier isn't a very good weapon if your opponent is wearing anything tougher than denim. Movies like Robin Hood and Pirates of the Caribbean are hilariously inaccurate: rapiers aren't weapons made for dueling. In a real rapier fight, it would be rare for the swords to touch- most of the fighting is grappling and keeping your opponent from getting a clear stab in.Vigilantis said:
Not only do I have my equipment picked out, I have a strategy: I start off by rolling my server from 1999 at my opponent at high velocity (that thing's a beast- it broke the bathroom scale, which means it weighs over 260 lbs). If that doesn't work, I will rush in and attempt to bludgeon the bejesus out of them with my Peavey Stratocaster (I hate that guitar with a passion) and my old amp.
In the likely event that neither of these tactics work- which is fine with me, because I will have just freed up tons of space in my bedroom- I will knock my foe over and jam a Flak 88 round down his/her throat, just so I can say I have killed someone with a bullet without using a gun.
Oh, yes: I forgot to mention that I will be wearing Katarn Mark III- the armor that the Republic Commandos wear. It has a knife in the bracer, in case all else fails.
A morningstar with a pickblade imbeded in it, with a squareguard handel and a gauntlet going all the way up the forearm of my lefthand with studs on it 
Go straight inn and bash the fucker, if he has a shield the pick could rip it away from the handler, quick follow up with the gauntlet and its a done deal.
Or
Deflect blade with gauntlet and swing like a madman

Personally I would use the Tachi sword or the Katana and let my ninja skills take care of the rest.
You don't chop with a gladius, you thrust and stab with a gladius, never swipe. With short blades you stab, long blades you can do both (generally) although longer blades are slower.punkrocker27 said:
The problem is with choosing a weapon is that whatever you choose, your opponent will also have that weapon as well.
I think i would pick the 1796 Pattern Sabre, and hope that my opponent does not know that it is a highly effective stabbing weapon, as well as a deadly slashing one.
Dual Kukri Daggers! Stabby, Slashy and Choppy! Plus they're light... and look like boomerangs :3
Well I was going for of a more Spanish duelist type thing with a hidden knife behind their back but at least we both agree I'm not surviving long in the gauntlet ^_^Spekter068 said:

Katanas are INSANELY sharp. I've gotten cuts by lightly touching the edge- seriously, blood was drawn, and I didn't think I was actually touching it yet.
I was at a tournament once, and a guy made a mistake when he was drawing the blade. The index and middle fingers on his left hand were on the floor before he felt any pain at all. He didn't even notice them until he slipped on the blood.
That's how sharp katanas are: they cut straight through bones like tissue paper. Fortunately for that guy, the nerves were sliced neatly, so a surgeon was able to reattach his fingers.
I would like to be a bug-badger with glasses, a robe, and the staff of awesomeness.
If I can't be a bug-badger, I will have to choose Russell Crowe as my weapon.
