The oldest weapons in use by your nation's army.

Swords, specifically Falchions and the much Older Gladius, though improved designs of course, with more expensive models actually containing a thin film of super-heated plasma.

Yep me before I brought the Tokugawa clan to power. In other words the Sword of Tengu is really old.

Apart from the Bafurian right cross? Our 152 mm M1933 howitzer.

The Cutlass. It is still used by officers and soldiers because of the longer reach. It is also used in giving commands.

That would be the Type 00 pump action repeating carbine, which was first issued in 1900.

The Martin M130 China Clipper (Created in 1935) is still the Main Seaplane of the W.M.P.S. (Wagain Military Postal Service). It flies mail between the front lines and airbases back in Wagondia. The slow and dated aircraft does not even have a radar, and only has two 2 cm. flak guns for protection.

Bows and Arrows. Dipped in the Portuguese man-of-war poison.

Aside from ceremonial weapons (not considered to be on active service), the oldest weapon we possess is the Modèle 50 155mm howitzer:

Bows and Arrows. Dipped in the Portuguese man-of-war poison.

How exactly do you get the poison out without becoming paralyzed yourself? and how the heck do you catch those things in the first place?

Indeed, something like a poison arrow frog sounds like a better choice.

My nation's oldest weapon would be the AK-112

We catch those things in three-inch thick glass containers. Then we euthanize it and extract the venom in a long, careful, and very tedious process.

Swords. Mostly used by Commissars and the ocasional 'Old Guard' sergeant or officer.

Must be BIG glass containers

All our weapons are reasonably up-to-date, but we still use traditional cavalry in the mountainous regions of the country.

Oh believe me, they are. And rather heavy.

Still in common use by the Grand Army/Criticalist Guard:

Austwehr Bolt-Action

Ceremonially, the 1805 Musket of Capitalism is still in use.

by **Reptileia** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 8:08 pm

Medieval swords are typically carried by soldier and officer alike, wielded on the battlefield and off it.

Also, Mark 97 bolt-action rifles are used in parades.

by **Prussia-Denmark** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 8:58 pm

Prussia-Denmark still has Karabiner 98Ks in service for the Presidential and Royal Honour Guards for formal functions.

In basic training recruits also learn to shoot the weapon.

Baby cannons... they're highly lethal but tend to cause our troops to cheer with joy at the impending doom of another infant, which often results in casualties due to their distractedness.

by **Nueva Camiliana** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 9:24 pm

Belgian Mauser 30-06

M-1 carbine

M1919A4 MG

M1911A1 pistol

All inherited from the old parafascist dictatorship backed by USA.

Used by some scouts for it's light weight, and the light weight of ammo whilst still being able to be deadly.
In the hands of some Dragoons, it's considered to be more efficient than a gun.

that bow does not look very old and I would like to compare the weight of an arrow to 5.56 NATO
