Arm hook spas 12 vs pancor is a very difficult call.

Spas probably wins becuase of availability and thus being in more 80s stuff. Pancor is more late 90s/ early 00s computer game kind of thing.

Pancor mags can be used as mines. Pancor wins by default.

Any reasons against adopting the QBZ-95 and it's 5,8mm round?

None at all, especially the updated versions.

Oh and of course I'm drawing my own.

Or it might be derived from a common ancestor. Remember, the forerunners of the falcata had normal hilts.

Forerunners and as in leaf blades or actual falcata-like blades just with straight handles? Please link I must know more

Because I don't like axes.

The falcata was probably descended from the Greek kopis, which may or may not have been descended from the khopesh.

I'm not convinced that the falcata evolved from the kopis. I'd say it's more likely that the falcata came about another way. After all, the Greeks had very little to do with Iberia, I assume, while the Celts had pretty much everything to do with it. Their incredible metalworking abilities is good evidence that it evolved independently, because who else could make such a high quality sword? I'm pretty sure the Greeks didn't know about burying steel plates for several years to have the weaker steel corrode away.

Same with the kopis and the khopesh. I think the design of the blade curving forward with a broad belly is just an evolution of axes in general, and not a particular ancestor.

20mm cannon is a bit advanced for WWI, no? WWII would be more likely.
