If you were a weapon...

[Tsukihime]

What would you be?

 

[EternalShadow]

A bow.


That does lots of damage.


The *twang* sound when you release the string and the screech as it flies through the air~


And that mega moment of satisfaction when it hits the bull's eye.

 

[mlogan]

Truth. Potentially the most dangerous weapon of all.

But if I had to go with something more traditional, hmmm I would think a wand or a staff because magic is just freaking awesome.

 

[Bloodmorphed]

A Katana, because I'm fat and wanna be skinny and light xD. Plus they look awesome.

 

[Tsukihime]

Actually now that I think about it, I'm kind of wondering about the practicality of using fans as a weapon.


Things like swords and bows are pretty obvious. If your universe has magic, then wands and rods make sense.


Must be all the dynasty warriors influence.

 

[Gothic Lolita]

I think I would go with something like a magical dagger.
Because I like magic the magical aspect and the light weight and small size goes for the dagger. (\s/)

 

[djDarkX]

Gonna have to go with Bloodmorphed on this one and be a Katana. It's always been on of my favorite weapons, but I love longbows as well. However, for being a weapon, I'd be a Katana. For using, it would be a tie between a Katana or a Longbow.

 

[Silent Darkness]

A living, breathing lightning storm.....

Gnahahahaha.....so much power...​

If I were a weapon, I'd still say that I would be myself. ^^

A person is their own best weapon for both protecting themselves and others, in my opinion.

It takes a wise mind, a kind heart, a disciplined soul, and a trained body to wield any kind of force in the world properly.

Before choosing to become a weapon to be used by others, I choose to remain myself, even if it means that I have to go through a lot more hardships than others. Because being me, means that I can continue to learn, experience new things and grow.

You are your own weapon.


Your words.


Your actions.


Your opinions.


That's a different way to approach it, but as mlogan suggests, anything that can be used to attack or provoke others can be considered a weapon in a sense.


Especially in a society that embraces art and technology.

 

[Matseb2611]

A gun that pacifies people and stops them fighting, because nothing is better than a weapon that spreads peace rather than war.

Or I could just pull the plug on everything and be a supermassive black hole. Either one works!

Actually being yourself, meaning having the guts to be yourself, turns you into a weapon.

I have nothing to add really.

Susan's words follow molgan's and you said what I wanted to in a great way.

After all:

"Be who you are and say what you feel. 

Because those who mind don't matter, 

and those who matter don't mind."

Dr. Seuss

Tsukishime if you ask for something more conventional, I would be water.

[Housekeeping]

Truth. Potentially the most dangerous weapon of all.

Also among the most dangerous weapons: a gun that shoots bear traps.

 

[Zetu]

The funny thing is... I was thinking "I like the Knifes", right before the "I like the Blades" line.

 

[Oddball]

As far as a weapon, how about empathy?

I really liked how that was used at the end of the inheratince cycle, how he made galbatorix feel empathy and remorse to defeat him. It would render the most anti-social of persons harmless

As an actual weapon, weapon. I'd like to be a spear because it has use in mid-range and long range...

of course, if you miss with the long range you would give a weapon to your enemy...

I'd like to be a weapon with at least some degree of versitility. because the more situations it's good for, the more useful it is. Because honestly, I feel usless at times

 

[captainproton]

A cyborg bear with plasma cannons.

 

[Deleted]

A warhammer or a spear.

Tsuki...

Look up "Japanese War Fan" on wiki.  They weren't traditionally used in battle (fairly impractical), but they were often used in places where samurai could not carry traditional weapons and some swordsmanship schools actually taught students how to fight with the fans.  There were several "war fans", but only "Tessen" were used in combat.  Tessen were made of bamboo and iron.  Traditional fans were used for cooling off or signaling your army.  However, some fans called "Gunbai" were used by officers to ward off arrows during combat...  They were also made of iron, but were larger than traditional fans or even Tessen.

Most games that use fans use the traditional "wood with decorated cloth" variety because it's prettier and more flashy for combat.  It also lends itself better to fighting with female characters (which makes the weapon fairly sexist, by today's standards).  Though, I suspect you're correct about Dynasty Warriors and other similar games popularizing the weapons themselves.

Still, it's interesting to learn about things like that ^_^

What weapon would I be?  A dagger.  A sharp and deadly implement used mostly for concealing how dangerous or well prepared you are.  It's main function is typically for assassination by hitting vital points or arteries.  It can also be used to deliver poisons and as an improvised ranged attack against almost anyone.  Likewise, some daggers are small enough that a person could carry a fairly large quantity of them on their person or even conceal them in articles of clothing (boots and gloves, for example).  The dagger, when used properly, is the strike you never see coming and only takes the one blow to put you down for good.  The dagger doesn't need to be on the battlefield to win wars.  The dagger can win wars without a fight by being in the right place a the right time.

That's me.  More or less.

 

[Heretic86]

I'd be a Spatula (very deadly, as deadly as Secret Hollowed Out Volcano Lair guarded by Sharks with Laser Beams on their foreheads, pinky to mouth).

Im very good at flipping things so other points of view are considered.  Flipping isnt forcing someone to accept or agree with the opposite point of view, but just to understand it.  Once a flipped version of a point of view is understood, both sides can be considered and peaceful resolution to opposing points of view can happen.

 

[Kaiju Master]

for me I would be a great sword or battle axe
