If you would live in the Medieval Period, what will be your weapon of choice?

I like a large 2x4 with large nails. The one used by Mr. Caveman. If you're familiar with Black Metal music, i also would want to have that leather bracelet with large nails too. It may come in handy.

Same weapon I use today: my brain! It's better to avoid combat than to have to fight. If I were forced, I'd be the annoying toad with a longbow. Stick an arrow in your head before you get in range to hit me!

Quarterstaff. It's got more reach than a sword, you can use it as both an offensive and defensive weapon, and it makes a good general purpose tool/walking staff. Also, if it's lost or broken, it's easier to make a new one than a sword or similar.

i'd be carrying a sword as well along with some nice plate armor. i dont think mages or wizards existed in the midieval times (unless you're talking about video games like world of warcraft), but id cut them a new one if i saw one. i also wouldn't need a shield since id be probably carrying two swords haha

I would like to use a curved sword.I have seen many pictues where people carry the sword to kill their enemies.I feel it gives a heristic look so I personally the curved sword will be better for my physic.And if you give me one more chance I will take the bow.
