To be clear, Ai-chan is not asking for a spear, a hammer or a gun. What Ai-chan is asking is, how would you improve swords so that it becomes more badass than a typical arming sword or long sword? Something like a swordchuck, where you attach two swords together via a chain, like this. Or do you have some awesome ideas to turn other weapons into becoming more badass? Logic doesn't come into the equation. Badassery is all that matters. BTW, gunchucks is out of date, so please no suggesting that. And grenade launchers while awesome, is just a gun that shoots grenades, so it's not really all that badass.
RWBY's weapon designs are badass as fuck if you ignore the absolutely trash story(WTF happened RoosterTeeth). Sniper Scythe, Grenade Launcher Hammer, Shotguntlets, etc.
Hmm... is it odd that when I saw the headline of "What is better than a sword", even before clicking on it the 1st thing that came to my head was "sword chucks" :/
A light saber. More specifically MY Light saber. Come to my room and I'll show you why Could also refer to light saber yaoi dicks that were censored in BL mangas but take your pick
extend the handle, it becomes a spear extend the blade, it becomes hard to wield swords are meant to slice people right? if sawtooths or etc are added, can it still slice people into carrot strips?
what about a gun that shoots swords that explode ? I remember from borderlands 2, the name was swordsplosion.
But you can do that with the Chinese jian. They're so flexible you can slap a tree trunk with the flat side and the blade would wrap around the trunk like a rope before tying itself as a birthday ribbon.
I’d say turning two swords into scissors would make the most sense. Would help with concealing and give for a good excuse when you’re pulled over by a cop. “Officer this isn’t a sword, it’s just an oversized scissor.
Cloud's sword from FFVII Advent Children, that one badass sword~ multiple sword turn to one~ can dismantled at will~ Onimusha breaking sword~ I forget it name~ the sword "side" can break make hollow thing on middle then it make energy~ hmm it like railgun thing~ break apart shoot something~ combine two swords~ something like Cao Pi weapon from Dynasty Warrior 5 or better turn into spear~ combine two swords hilt then make it long enuf to become spear~ combine some sword turn ot into Lu Bu ridiculous weapon which seem like big shuriken~ sword inside sword...... wait it not new this cat remember read something like that on history relic~
Well, make the swords out of elastic rubber, shape them like mushrooms/eggplants, make a whole body suit of the swords, customize each of the swords to sound like different exclamations from JP anime characters when it experiences an impact, coupled with some flashy led light effects... and finally make each of the swords flesh colored. With that weapon equipped, I'm fairly certain you'll be left alone to live a long and happy life.
