The zweihänder sword that belonged to Grutte Pier (1480-1520), Friesian pirate and warlord.
what a god damn stupid sword
1) how would you even carry this. you would have to hold it in your hands the entire time. it would drag on the ground and be noisy as hell and bother all the other pirates
2) in the time it takes to lift and swing with this you would be killed several times over
3) did he think it looks really cool but all the other pirates were laughing behind his back
4) did he make a typo filling out the order form and got the wrong size but didn’t want to pay return shipping so he kept it
having looked into this because these are Good questions:
1) you strap it across your shoulders
2) despite being huge it’s not THAT heavy and if you are a giant dude you can swing it around with not too much difficulty (though apparently it requires better form and more moving around), and people will have a hard time killing you since your weapon is much longer and you will have already cut off their feet or heads (or the pointy bit on their pike, where relevant). also you can use it like a polearm to stab people as well, notably.
3) yeah it looks like it probably was 90% to look cool but also probably worked because the dude was probably over 6 feet and like 200 lbs.
4) this one is accurate.
