This Troper had taught himself forging, made a blade, chosen and carved a good shaft and had just put together all the parts of his hunting-spear when he realized that he had no one to stab...

This troper thought about designing a baseball bat with a blade lodged at the head, namely a kitchen knife. Of course to make sure the blade would not slip out it would have to be screwed in with at least two screws, and if those were bigger than usual they'd make good weapons as well. Not to forget it would have to be reinforced with metal rings to prevent the wood from breaking apart and it becoming useless. He even almost got all of it (Knife and bat) and duct tape could keep the blade at least attached to the bat so it could be used for stabbing.

This troper is skilled with Javelins. If you throw it like a baseball, it will hit you in the back of the head and the other Javelineers will laugh.

This troper is part of historical fencers community and there was only one case when she almost saw (unprepared) fight between halberd and two swords. The first step? Throw away halberd and pick different weapon. Simply because chances of not harming the opponents (who were no amateurs themselves) were too small to take. In group where things like broken figers were anything but unusual. The guy later commented that he would probably kill one of them no matter how careful he would be.

Ever been in buhurt? This Troper, being proficient with weapon (axe/mace/sword) and shield combo, usually gets the honor of standing in a firs row, forming the shield wall with other "lucky bastards". You lock your shield with your enemy, try to get your flanged mace over his shield to hit the sucker on the head... And wake up 10 minutes later in your clubs tent, because someone from the second line of the enemies ranks got you in your head with a polehammer or a poleaxe. Blades on sticks decide the outcome of the battle.
