If you could have any weapon from any fiction book ever written, which weapon would you choose?

This would be the only weapon you can ever use for the rest of your life, regardless of the circumstances.

I think I would choose the Subtle Knife from His Dark Materials trilogy. Not only for its ability to cut through any material, but especially for the ability to cut interdimensional portals.

I believe is the perfect weapon both, offensively and defensively.

How about you?

    A gun from The Weapon Shops of Isher by A.E. Van Vogt. Built by alien technology, they could only fire defensively, but they always drew and fired when needed to protect the owner and they were always effective against the threat.

      I don’t know man. Not every man can channel but any man can be a swordmaster if he puts his mind to it. This post immediately made me think of Artur Hawkwing’s sword Justice

        I’m presuming that the implication of the post is that you’d be able to use your weapon of choice. If not, a bonded spren would be nice.

    I’ve been reading a lot of historical autobiographies lately and T.E. Lawrence’s Lee-Enfield rifle comes to mind but I just reread the caption and realized you said fiction. I’m not really that into high fantasy but I’ve been reading the Dragonlance series because I like how much it influenced the future of D&D and there’s so much content for it that I’ll literally never run out. So yeah I’d probably wield the Dragonlance cause it looks cool lmao

    I grew up on Shannara and the Stihl was my favorite weapon for a long time. It’s a long dagger/short sword that can cut through any magic and can kill any creature with single blow. That weapon holds a special place for me.
