Maxwell is taller than the sword, and more than strong enough to swing it around like a one handed blade.

Well then it's definitely a sword. And one that, yes, could be swung with significant force.

However. A sword that size would not be what a normal-sized person would call 'sharp'. Its 'edge' might be in excess of an inch across, in fact. Used against fleshy human targets, it would act more like a very broad hammer... crushing organs and armor, and literally tearing people in half just from the force alone.

You are making it a point to be deliberately vague or state half-truths.

Nah, once you get to a certain point it's just held together by its own weight.

Please stop making me want to use the facewall.

So you're saying if I picked up a ten foot long kit-kat bar... it wouldn't break under its own weight?

Same thing for an incredibly long piece of steel. Without occasional reinforcement or supports, it WILL bend and break under its own weight.

He means lance in that it's a 500 pound, 10 foot long massive SLAB of steel, that is ridiculously sharp.

Sharp can be pointed OR bladed.

Lances are pointed spear-like weapons, with no edge. Generally used from a mount or vehicle in attacks, or from emplacements to defend from charges.

Swords are generally between two to five feet long, most have dual edges with a thrusting tip. Generally wielded in both hands if over three feet long.

That said, how big is the character in question? Big enough for that ten foot false penis to be a sword? Or smaller, in that he would use it like a spear?

The only logical sword that can pierce armor in this roleplay is Maxwell's

it's a fucking lance

Sword = Lance?

This is the part where people that use swords in this RP not only start dodging bullets and laser beams like they're on crack, but now they'll claim their swords can pierce high-grade power armor or ballistic armor with relative ease.

I await the shitstorm.

Unless their swords are made of bullshitium, and they themselves can put several tons of force behind the strike... then they won't be piercing through shit like layered plates of Vanadium Carbide over/under Kevlar padding.

However... so they can't damage the armor... that doesn't mean the person INSIDE the armor isn't hurt by being hit with several tons of force.

@Leeroy, Sharp trauma? Don't you mean blunt trauma?

LeeRoy said when you stab something

No, it's the same kind of force distribution when you stab something and shoot something. That is sharp force trauma in both cases. (Depending on the kind of bullet, of course.)

Wrong, Good Sir.

A stab with a blade carries more force and will generally do more damage to an armored target, as the force of the blow is followed-through by the strength of the one doing the stabbing. A bullet impacts, distributes its kinetic energy, and has no further force to back it up.

Could just use Vanadium Carbide. Good stuff.

Do not test me, child. For I have the power of inebriation on my side.
