Very nice old boy... i'll get the butler to buy one straight away. We can leave the fox hunting problems and go chav hunting instead. i'm sure they'll be no riots over them.

Just keeping up appearances Old chap. One actually has had the pleasure of shooting the lee enfield(no 6 i think) .22 and .45 calibre version and there both bloody good, I've also shot the sa-80, LSW and L98. Funny thing is the lee-enfield never jammed on me but the Sa-80 does.

Bah real gentleman use swords... and not those flimsy Kankars or what ever their bloody hell their called…
People forget that at the same time the Celts in Briton where making swords that were even better… Each one taking over 6 months to make… The End result being a sharp, heavy, strong and yet flexible blade extremely difficult to break… unlike the owe so mighty Japanese swords… .
Now that’s British steel…

One would just like to point out the facted that the celts didn't have steel. Iron yes, but steel one believes didn't come around until the early 1900s.
As for the swords the japanese blade it might light and thin, but because of how the blade is made it is tougher than it looks.
Trouble with heavy swords in battle is you will be moving this peice of iron round at high speed for a couple of hours. If you run out of energy you are almost sure to end up dead.

Japanese swords are designed to be sharp, stay sharp and cut through pretty much anything.

The English broadsword, for example, is designed to have a relatively sharp edge, but then the weight of the blade pushes it through the armour and flesh of your would-be assailant.
It's all a question of finesse. If you try to parry with any Japanese sword, you end up without a sword, because they break. Don't believe all these Japanese movies, where people go about parrying and leaving absolutely no marks on the blade at all.

Ah yes Sorry... British 'Iron' then...
I really don't like this obsession growing amounts of people have with Samurai swords... it’s as if it’s the only kind of sword that looks cool...
Good lord it pisses me off...
I mean as Coop pointed out their not as practical as they are made too look in films…
One is sorry for a lack of posts recently.
And yes, these japanese swords really cant cope with armour. But let us speak of more dignified matters, with Coop83's permission of course.

Don't listen to what Primalblood says, since steel was made in small quantities from as early back as the 1400s. (Possibly even further back) During the industrial revolution, they came up with a way to mass produce high quality steel. (I never thought that Industrial History would actually prove to be useful, but there you go.)
