Title: Weapon Images
Post by: Richard_Strey on August 06, 2003, 10:33:25 PM
Hi.
I've scanned the forum and so far, there does not seem to be a focused thread that could be used as a ressource for showing your players what those weapons really look like. So, I want to ask everyone to step forward and help build a "library" of useful links.

Like myarmoury.com (http://www.myarmoury.com). Check out the weapon comparison tool!

I'd like to suggest Björn Hellqvist's virtual museum at http://www.algonet.se/~enda/swords.htm because it includes photos and data about actual historical museum exhibits, as opposed to replicas, so that there can be no doubt as to the authenticity of the data. Make sure to switch to the english language part of the site if you don't speak swedish :)

Don't forget the ARMA website: www.thearma.org . They have some good stuff on a museum tour and tests with real weapons.

Heh. I *love* that two-handed saber (Säbel/Messer) John is handling here (http://www.thearma.org/spotlight/heymr.htm). :)
