    Default Best weapons

    There too much talk about martial arts but what about their weapons. For Jinyong novels I think I'll go with Heavy Iron Sword b/c made the 2 weapons in HSDS out of it.

    For Gu Long there a lot like little lee dagger, black sabre, curve moon sabre, and a lot more but I'll go with little lee dagger.

    I'll go with Heavenly Sword. HIS is too big and heavy for my liking... Maybe Golden Wheels too...

    For Jin Yong, it's got to be HIS and Heavenly Sword.

    For Gu Long, Little Li's flying dagger.

    Heavenly Sword is definitely amongst best weapons.

    But I don't think HIS is THAT good.

    HIS in the hands of YG appears to be an amazing weapon. But we have to realize that most people can't utilize it's potential.

    Anyone with Heavenly sword sort of gets an "attack" bonus. Imagine LHC with Heavenly sword and DG9J sword techniques!

    But unless you have 1) superior internal energy and 2) the specific Condor brother training, then the HIS is just a useless piece of heavy rock.

    Heavy Iron Sword is NOT the best weapon. LOL!

    It is a FRICKIN' heavy sword that doesn't provide much advantage over other weapons (besides it's HEAVINESS).

    Noone without a sufficient amount of inner energy will be able to even lift the darn thing, much less use it efficiently in battle.

    So, putting the HIS aside, the best weapons in the Jin Yong cannon are probably the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre.

    They are heavy, yes, but definitely not as heavy as the HIS. They are also very sharp, so that adds as an advantage.

    All in all, a weapon is only good depending on its weilder. If the user is weak, no matter what weapon he uses, he will still be weak.

    My 2 cents.

    An average wulin fighter would have much more boost with the heaven sword than with HIS.

    HIS is a terrible weapon. YG could have just as well used a big rock and the effect would have been the same.
    You do know that it is just fiction, dont you?

    Great video. Some of those weapons look really formidable. I'm not too surprised that these martial artists look so much better at performing martial arts than actors in series...

    I can just imagine an ancient warrior rolling on the ground laughing at the choreographed use of the weapons.
