The Longsword is a type of European sword used during the late medieval period (approximately 1350 to 1550) with early and late use reaching into the 13th and 17th centuries. Longswords have long cruciform hilts with longer grips to prove room for two hands. Straight double-edged blades are often over 1 m to 1.2 m (40 to 48 inches) in length, and weigh typically between 2½ to 5 pounds, with light specimens just below 1 kg (2.2 lb), and heavy specimens just above 2 kg (4½ lb). The longsword is commonly held in combat with both hands, though some may be used single-handed. Longswords are used for hewing, slicing, and stabbing. The specific offensive purpose of an individual longsword is derived from its physical shape. All parts of the sword are used for offensive purposes, including the pommel and crossguard.
Review
This is easily rates as a 9.5/10 in the melee category. These weapons are created mainly for slicing, and can take out enemies with a single slice of the blade (and the blades can be a meter long!). Any melee weapon that weighs about as much as (or a little more than) a baseball bat, that can take out enemies in a single hit, deserves to be in this list. The only thing preventing this from getting a 10/10, or even breaking that scale, is the fact that over time it will have to be repaired. Provided that you have a sharpening stone, this weapon will remain effective for a long, long time.
