I don't have any weapons, am afraid of having such things at home. The most dangerous thing besides kitchen knifes is 120mW portable laser by which I can make attacker blind if he allows me few seconds or minutes to aim his eye ... lol.

Yeh, it would look very cool because beam is clearly visible even in clean air, no fog needed . However I know one person who made damage to his eye by looking directly into beam for just a second ...so it's not always fun .

i don't have any in Australia but back in Japan at my grandma's house we've been keeping a katana that belonged to our family many generations back in the samurai period. I also have one but it's not sharpened because it's only meant for decoration purposes (it came with the samurai armour that is setup during a certain time of they year to celebrate boys)

Oh yeah, I also had a BB gun but I think my grandma threw it out

I have a couple of swords: two katanas as well as two others that come with the set, a replica sword from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a battle ready viking broadsword and a battle ready "celtic" broadsword. In addition, I also have a replica of sting and the shards of narsil.

That was not a smart thing that your friend did! Hopefully it wasn't intentional. These things have warnings agaisnt such things.

I still need to unpack them, lol . Honestly, my problem is I don't have enough display mounts for them all so they are in my closet . I'll get them out some time and take pics of them . I love my sword collection.

hmm, I don't think I've seen that one. I'm more of a history geek/nerd. What's the show about?

dude! Precisely that! The show takes the greatest warriors in history and puts them up against each other. They show the weapons these ancient warriors used, how they used them, and then puts them up against each other in computerized combat. Really neat concept really. For instance, they have done an episode that puts the Samurai up against the Ninja. I've also seen one that has monks vs. some tribal warrior I can't remember the name of. They also do current warriors as well, like Navy Seals vs. something.

OOOHHHHH, KEWL! That sounds like my kind of show . I love Ancient and Medieval history, especially the battles and military tactics. I'm not much for modern weapons. I guess that is also why I don't have guns. I know what I would love to have some day is a trebuchet (preferably a miniature version). Those are awesome!!

Yes.
Remington 700 Sendero special II with heavy fluted barrel and a 6x20 Nikon scope. One of the best rifles I have ever shot.
