It's the Weapon of Choice

I'm a pretty horrible pacifist. Really I'm just a pacifist because I don't have much of a reason to hurt anybody.
But that doesn't stop me from getting a weapons-grade boner over man's ability to hurt and destroy other living things. Using incredibly sophisticated, billion-dollar hardware like this:
The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter
Maybe you're a red blooded American.
Maybe you kick it old school.
Or you punch it older school.
You could be a service member.
Or be compensating for the size of your member.
Either way no matter how outlandish a weapon you choose, remember that
those who live by the board with nails in it will die by a board with nails in it.
So let's talk about warring and fightin' and killin' and the sweet science behind it. While the idea of being hurt and maimed and killed horribly sounds really awful if it were to happen to me, the methodology behind it happening to other people is really intriguing! I'm especially a sucker for looking up ridiculous science-fiction-like weaponry on Wikipedia, like how the Germans had plans for impossibly large land tanks, or the SR-71 Blackbird which was designed 40 years ago but remains the fastest and highest flying airplane in the world, to the Gay Bomb. But I'm sure people will also want to talk about their gun collections and martial arts and other neat things as well.

but seriously, I realize weapons are made for killing, but dear Jesus, guns and swords can be elegant and beautiful
It's a shame it's not a real saw. That thing on the end is actually used to shovel out loads of dirt from excavation sites.

Too Galactic for you.
Actually, for sheer body count this is the best sword.

from the top, mostly
Mainly punching it old-school though. Karate for 8 years, and I've never been in a real fight. It's been 4-5 years since I've trained though. I've tried a couple other martial arts since, but I've either not enjoyed them, or not enjoyed the school's rates (the only capoeira school around here is hells of expensive).
Too Galactic for you.
like, one you could slider onto your finger and it had a blade at the end
a sword with brass knuckles
dual edge dagger thingy with brass knuckles
It is indeed:
The A-10 is an ugly sonofabitch but

I actually have done some boxing recently, just as a means of getting out and doing something.
Holy crap does boxing reveal how out of shape and pathetic your body really is. Three three-minute rounds is the longest amount of time.
ON THE BLADE
Good job Jess.

Bagger 288 on Google Maps, to give a sense of scale.
I'm not nearly in the shape I was in while I was training regularly, but god damn was I not prepared for what my first Capoeira class did to me. I've never felt that close to passing out during a workout. Granted, I've also never spent 1/3-1/2 of a workout upside down.

Why thank you
I'll see what I can dig up for the underwater weaponry, but there's much less stuff out there

Oh I fucking love the A-10.
It's the kind of legendary toughness that makes me cheer. It's like the flying version of this:

maybe an acquired taste
I like them
It's just so utilitarian, built tough to do some ass-whoopin'.
The sound that thing makes too... scary.
After about a month of just working out and getting pointers on my technique, I was put into a simple practise bout with a twelve year old who had been boxing with the gym since he was six. I had a foot and a half longer reach, and I outweighed him by maybe 50 pounds.
I got through one round and was completely out of breath. By the second round I couldn't move my legs anymore or keep my guard up. By the third round he was just able to walk up to me and push me over, pretty sure I didn't throw or land an actual punch.
My great-uncle once told a story about how he and a Ghurka were once mugged while out and about in Asia
But apparently despite being off duty the Ghurka still had his equipment and when he advanced out of the dark alley, drawing his khukuri and advancing on the three men, they all fled and one of the buggers soiled himself
Those guys have one hell of a rep
Then my Dad told me we weren't the right kind of people
EDIT: To clarify, P-51D.
For deer hunting.
Also target shooting is really fun and I would suggest anyone who hasn't to visit their local firing range.
