Hehe, my favorite weapon would have to be the Gun-mace, it was a gun fashioned with the head of a mace so that it could be fired at long range but also used in close combat. I saw a picture of it in a medieval weapons book once, i believe it belonged to Henry VIII. either way it was awesome

Renaissance era combination weapons are pretty neat.darkarden wrote:Hehe, my favorite weapon would have to be the Gun-mace, it was a gun fashioned with the head of a mace so that it could be fired at long range but also used in close combat.

My melee weapon would have to be the hand and a half sword. My ranged weapon would be a longbow, though I'm really in love with the shape oof the horsebow.

I've loved all (non-cross) bows since I first saw them. Probably before that even. 
They're my favorite weapon of all time. Doesn't matter whether they're Longbows, Composite, Saxon shortbows, Korean, whatever.
But those fancy Olympic and other modern bows just don't cut it.

I agree completely with everything smcginnis just wrote.
I particularly like the Mongolian recurve bows (did you know it takes around a year to make just one
)
I hate crossbows. IMO they are ugly, undignified weapons. Compared with longbows they have shorter range, less accuracy and take 25-30 seconds longer to reload. They also need less skill. It takes years to be able to shoot a bow well. You could have the same level of skill with a crossbow in a week.

I would say my favorite weapons were the longbow and the crossbow. Also, I really enjoy the short sword dagger combination for some reason...
