>>24832287Every sword in GURMS ASOFAI is named, including "Widow's Wail," however what's the truth of the matter? Has the sword naming tradition been broken? Anons with bladed weapons or guns do you name them?

I have a sword called Joker Baby.
>>24832287Stabby MacStabberson is a good name for a sword. It says what it does, but it also has a redundant name "MacStabberson", because "MacStabber" and "Stabberson" both mean "son of Stabber".

>>24834783>hrm i wonder why there are not more swords in scifiTruly one of the brains of our time.

>>24835711>>24832298Interesting question.Everything nowadays is mass-produced.I guess that's the reason.
>>24835800Even in ancient or medieval eras, I'm sure legions and even armored knights didn't name every single sword they carried. The names were reserved for notable, mythical weapons.Daniel Boone's modified rifle was known as "Old Tick Licker"Henry Knox named a cannon "The Albany" after residents of Albany helped rescue the cannon after it had broken through the ice while crossing the frozen Hudson River. Another cannon in the same "noble train" of artillery was called "Old Sow" for being so big and heavy. There are probably more cannons from that era with names.I'd imagine there are a lot of named guns on Navy warships that aren't publicized but are known by the crews that operate them.>Fat Man and Little Boy

>>24832287theres the sword wielded by the mighty knight (Thine)the legendary blade No-maidens
>>24836467>What makes a weapon "mythological">in the real world?Means the weapon was special and its wielder was notable enough to have stories told about him.For example, there's a TV Series called "Wynonna Earp" which calls itself a "Supernatural Western." Peacemaker is a legendary weapon given to Wyatt Earp by angels and inherited by his descendant Wynonna.https://wynonnaearp.fandom.com/wiki/Peacemaker
