[REL] New weapon: Claymore

So, it looks like there are two weapons in <i>CoaS</i> named claymore. However, when I look at them, it's quite obvious:

This, dear sirs, is <b>not</b> a claymore.

<b>This</b> is a claymore <img src="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

So, here's the deal: I've made a model of new weapon for <i>CoaS</i> (included are: model, texture, and weapon icon). Now I wouldn't call it a complete mod, since it doesn't really add this new weapon - however, it can be easily added by even moderately determined coder <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> either as a replacement for already existing weapon, or as a completely new one <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Known bugs: reverse lightning bug, as usual.

<i>That</i> is a bloody <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BFS" target="_blank">zanbato</a>. :p
Basket hilted claymores are perfectly legitimate: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore</a>
 
Noooo! What have you done?! You've posted a link to <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage" target="_blank">TV Tropes</a>! Now we'll <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife" target="_blank">never get any job done here</a>! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Besides, we <i>Pirates Ahoy</i> modders sneer at historical accurancy! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" />

And, it seems to be that no-one realized that this weapon is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore_(manga)" target="_blank">little easter egg</a> in itself <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
excuse me? i am totally for historical accuracy. unless it counteracts doing things the fun way. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

EDIT:
One of those heavy weapons you can only swing once. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

man, two people wielding one sword sounds hilarious. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

"swing it!"

"what?"

"SWING IT TO THE LEFT!"

*hrg!*

"the other left!"

having a sword on your back is, by the way, practically impossible. we've tried it at my nephew's house with a bastard sword, but the thing's longer than your arm, so you can't pull it out of the sheathe.
 
By the way the claymore ya made.. that manga thing or whatever. Looks kinda silly. I mean it has a broad blade put onto some small thin handle.. WTF!?! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

And Morgan.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" /> lol.
 
i've got plenty of source material. the source material also says that that's not what a zanbato looks like though.
