I would say a couple of short seax's would be my ideal :-)

they are sweet :-)

and a morning star mace would be fun, if messy. I handled one a while ago, and tho I felt really tough while it was in my hands, real Henry V, dogs of war kind of stuff, tho I'm not sure I'd have the who jar flips to hit someone with it.

Monkey bar would also be good.. I have had one of those in the foot well of the car for a while along with a 4 sided wheel wrench..

Wow so many to read through....so gave up halfway lol

If i had what i am aiming for (Suit of armour) i'd have to say a pair of powered fists so i could smash, crush, tear & pummel my opponent.

With the technology we possess why not? Its relatively easy to make them!

as a secondary/back up weapon i'd have to go with petrol strimmer....long reach handle & high speed steel blade screaming round.

& finally as back ups back up a baseball bat.

I would have to go with my assault crowbar. Comes complete with scope and bayonet so near or far im going to get em.

A Long, Metal Pole

Cutlass: cut, thrust, punch. Timeless classic.

I like this post well naturally it would not be a gun, old adage a sword doesn't run out of bullets. So with that in mind probably my Cutlass. It's a light versatile blade with heavy hand gaurd for when you can get a proper swing.. That would be my first choice with it.. I could sharpen long poles to spear. With patience cut and carve down wood to make a Long bow... Short enough blade to keep concealed for time when you just can't trust your traveling mates. Long enough reach so your hand isn't chewed off every swing..
