Aside from scythes, what are designed bad guy weapons?
>>62874228If you believe Turkish action soap operas and movies, the M16 is the go to weapon for terrorists and bad guys in general
desert eagle, spas-12, and survival knives with too many serrations. oh, and shitty string chainmail vests with a leather daddy look. or oversized flails if its fantasy.
>>62874228Maces, because Sauron.
>>62874228Grim Reaper is as neutral as it gets.AKs are designated bad guy weapons irl and fiction alike
>>62874228Depends on culture. I doubt scythe is villian-coded in Poland because of the peasant uprisings. Same with mace in most of eastern europe as it was a symbol of military authority.
Horses.
>>62874228Morningstars. The designated weapon of evil knights and hobgoblin chieftains.
>>62874228Anything dripping blood
>>62874228switchblades and balisongs
>>62874228brass knucklesswitch bladesstraight razorsspiked clubs/batsgold plated weaponsgarrote
>>62874228Scythes are not designed to be bad guy weapons. They are for harvesting farmlands. It’s associated with death because the scythe can be a symbol of harvesting souls rather than wheat/grass.
>>62874228Crossbows.
>>62874785That's definitely most of them. I'd add anything that's a bit 'exotic', like shuriken, balisongs, kerambits, etc. Also things associated with street gangs, hooligans, etc: Millwall brick, chains, tire iron, broken bottles, pool cue..Also poison....
>>62874909but that's a good guy weapon?
>>62874228>Did someone order a henchman of indeterminate nationality?
>>62874228AKs
>>62875249you could probably add "any exotic european weapon that the average american doesnt recognise or russian weapons"also this
>>62876974The Aug fits that description
>>62874228
>>62874248>Desert Eagle There are shitloads more good guy Deagle users>Every Schwarzenegger role ever>Jack Reacher >that broad who hangs out with Reacher in S1>Peacemaker>Captain Price from COD>Ghost from COD>Lara Croft>Nathan Drake>Austin PowersIt's also just the stereotype big buff action hero gun. Pretty sure Dwayne Johnson had one in Doom too
It's always funny to see a Chinese crime drama with both good and bad guys with 1911s and HPs with the odd Tokarev in the final bad guy's hands.
>>62877016i wrote it with the aug in mind
>>62877814>Dwayne Johnson had one in Doom toohes the bad guy in that
>>62874228.
>>62874228I don't think I've ever seen a proper "bad guy" use a scythe in any form of media, but I can show you several scythe-weilding protagonists in my Japanese animes.>>62874248>desert eagle, spas-12, and survival knives with too many serrations.That's basically every 80s action hero's loadout, though.The real answers:>classic wood furniture AK (terrorists)>any bullpup rifle (evil futuristic dystopia military issue)>any Soviet or Nazi pistol (spy)>gatling gun (sprayed ineffectually at the hero from a helicopter until they are shot by a single pistol round)That's all I got off the top of my head.
>>62874228Traditional African swords are definitely "bad guy" coded everywhere outside of Africa. They're strongly associated with witch doctors, cannibals, pagan cults, head choppers and other spooky stuff in media. They also tend to have pretty alien looking designs which inspire fear even though they may or may not make the weapon more effective.
>>62879216Big fan of the Kaskara.
>>62878483
>>62876974>any exotic european weapon that the average american doesnt recogniseeh, not really. There's tons of guns the average Amerinormie doesn't recognize, but a lot of those would get cast as sci-fi guns or some other role long before they'd be seen as a bad guy gun.>>62879216Good call on that, pretty much anything that could be seen as "primitive" or "tribal" could work regardless of where it came from.Something else I can't believe I forgot: repurposing tools as weapons. Nothing screams horror movie villain quite like a bloody saw, kitchen knife, shovel, etc.
>>62874228Scythes are dogshit as weapons, only dorks that like the shittiest animes and never been in a fight think otherwise.The scythe held by the Grim Reaper was supposed to simply be a symbol of harvest, as in he harvests souls.
>>62879866>Scythes are dogshit as weaponsOnly if you use them as-is, modify the blade to be parallel with the shaft and you've got yourself a more than passable polearm.
>>62879866>never been in a fight think otherwisepicalso>le anime is for le dorks>immediately brings up animecmon son
>>62879907wrong pic, but that will also do I guess
>>62879916Falcata on a stick.
>>62877016that it does
>>62874228Porcelain Glocks
>>62875249> OI, LEMME PISS ON THIS PAPER HERE ROIGHT QUICK, GUVNAGott strafe England
Sycthes are used to harvest grain and feed people, they were also made into improvised weaponry by peasants against much more highly equipped armored knights on horseback.Death is not a bad guy. Death is a fact of life and those with confidence in Heaven have no fear of death. Everyone will die, one way or another, you can't avoid this and some have made peace with this.Death is a friend to some. Some are too familiar with death, the memories of these experiences stick in your mind. Some are to kill and be killed.
>>62879981Some are to kill.Some are to be killed.Some are to do both or neither.Myself, I just wanted to raise cattle.Happy cows in the clover up in the hills.Never wanted to fight in a war or to a kill another man.A peaceful life of hard work and prayer, farm like my cousins, grow old with grandkids.But the zionist occupied government keeps bombing innocent Christian children in the Holy Land.
>>62879907>>never been in a fight think otherwiseEver notice how the ones in fantasy art lever look like the real ones?
This is a bad guy weapon called a Lockheed Martin F-35.It is used by terrorists called zionists to bomb women and children in the Middle East.In Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine. In Gaza, they bomb churches full of Christian civilians.
>>62880020cause artists are usually retards with no knowledge about anything?
>>62879873>more than passable No, just barely passable. Most scythes are very thin with an odd curve throughout. If you hit shit with them the blade will bend or tear easily. In fact a lot of them come with a thickened dull "stone point" because hitting a pebble can Shrek your blade.>t. scythe user for small farm/orchard.
>>62880048Yeah, but the ones in the art are what we're talking about ITT. And those are shit weapons. Real war scythes have nothing to do with the conversation, and the fact that they could be used as effective weapons says nothing about the traditional style we're talking about here.
>>62880082Don't forget the shape of the typical scythe's handle (snath) would be incredibly awkward to use as a weapon. Fantasy artists keep drawing a straight pole because they're retards who don't understand how a scythe works.
>>62880082>Most scythes are very thin with an odd curve throughoutAnon, have you ever seen a battleaxe? The blades are thin -- much thinner than axes made for chopping wood. A thin scythe would probably make a decent weapon for cleaving flesh.
>>62880082>>62880102lindybeige pls go, you embarrassed yourself enough with those two videos.
>>62875218Shit you're right. Regular bows can be either but crossbows are practically always wielded by villains. Maybe it's because they look more like guns so they visually represent ruthless modern warfare over heroic warfare.
Rappier
>>62879981>Death is a fact of lifeOf nature. And to rise above nature is what distinguishes men from animals.
Typical 80's henchman/gangster weapon. Complete the look with black leather gloves, aviators, and a porn stache.
>>62881105Even stars die eventually.
>>62881655Neutron stars have no known expiration date. White dwarfs can last a very, very, very long time -- like 10^15 years before they become black dwarfs, and then for another 10^500 years or even indefinitely. (Assuming no proton decay, which is a safe assumption.)So there are a lot of stars that won't die. Just cool off and chill out forever.
>>62875316I'm the bad guy?
>>62874228Intercontinental ballistic missiles
>>62874228Skeletons always used darts back in the day.
>>62880082>>62880102That's just one of many different styles of scythe and not even the most popular one. It's like claiming there's no way people in XX century used pickups as weapon platforms because pic rel is what cars look like.Lindybiege is retarded autist, who can't comprehend there could be multiple versions of the same thing. If it's not in his head it doesn't exist.
>>62880009Good, fuck christcucks
>>62877814>Nathan DrakeYeah, but only after he takes them from dead bad guys. He's otherwise a 1911 guy.
>>62879866Hehe, dorks.
>>62884214ok moshe
>>62879916>>62879907>mount blade on stick 90° from traditional scythe>no handles that you use to hold and sweep scythe across ground>these are still the same thingBro, if I tie a knife to the end of a stick it’s not still a knife
>>62877814No, Austin Powers is a PPK guy. The girl from the first one had the Dessert Eagle
>>62882456But anon, both sides have them.
>>62880009>But the zionist occupied government keeps bombing innocent Christian children in the Holy Land.And I'll keep getting away with it too!
>>62884021>Lindybiege is retarded autist, who can't comprehend there could be multiple versions of the same thing. If it's not in his head it doesn't exist.He lost all credibility when he claimed that every single artistic depiction of spear usage in all of history was actually incorrect. How so many HEMA fans think people stood there poking each other feebly is beyond me. Thegn Thrand is the best man on youtube for historical weapons.
>>62879866What is the most /k/ virtual youtuber
>>62876974They make a bb gun version of this that has a toggle lock that articulates.
>>62881682>Neutron stars have no known expiration date.And if they do, they become literal iron stars. How metal is that?
>>62874228Maces, AKs if you're from a NATO nation, Flamethrowers, Double bit Axes, swords with way too many spikes and pointy bits.
>>62874228>Lawyers>Loans>NDA'sReal life bad guys don't fight with guns
>>62885553Add Non-competes and HOAs to that list.
