This is the Weapon Generics thread. It will be the accumulative source of all of our knowledge of weapons. Each post may list one weapon, and a description of it and how/why it has been used. You may also include pictures of the weapon to give us a better understanding of it. Users may make more than one post, but only one weapon per post.
I will start.
Claymore:A Scottish double-edged broadsword developed in the Medieval period. It is slightly smaller than a regular Medieval broadsword.
It was used by the Scottish in many clan wars and skirmishes with the English of that time period.
