u already got a winner but i just found this and it looks like fun and im bored. did u major in swords lol.
1. the f86(i think thats right) was on one of America's first jet fighters, famed for stunting on migs in the korean war.
2. coup! i only did fencing for a month but its like when you circle the tip of ur blade around your opponents when they cross so theirs is left to continue swinging, leaving them open for attack.
3. foil!
4. im guessing ur looking for bronze but i imagine they started with copper before they figured out the alloy.
5. assuming ur looking for iron here. even though iron is easier to find than the tin needed to make bronze, it took a while for us make furnaces hot enough to melt it.
6. uuuh halo? ur fly the sabre with jorge before, well u know :((( humans, covenant, and the flood.
7. aight so germany has frats too and theyre called studentenverbindungen (my german is poor but it means student connection or something) in ye olden times only knights and higher social classes were allowed to own swords or any weapon really, for the exception of students in universities. this lead to a culture of sword fighting within and between these frats in their beer halls. started in heidelberg? they would fight "to the pain" where you only lose when u cant take the bleeding and shit and bow out. by the 20th century you would be covered everywhere except the face and not even move lol. getting and creating scars kinda became the point and rhese face scars were seen as a status symbol (ooo he can afford college). iirc these scars were called a schmiss. anyway this was popular with nazis even tho hitler himself banned it for a sec. anyway after the way it was seen as a nazi thing and banned, and fencing followed. kinda why a lot of nazi villains have facial scars in movies. i actually got to see one of these matches in munich during my time studying abroad. members of these frats also like to be branded with a secret symbol specific to their frat, the ones i saw were on the bottom of the heel. still pretty taboo there.
8. parry this casual
9. not le reddit enough to know
10. lightsabers, which i still haven't been able to unbox fuck.
how did I do? and congrats on graduating, gl on the indeed grind lol.
