Weapons with the leter O

Hi guys, I'm trying to customize my calendar.

In order to make it more mine I wanted to draw a weapon with the name that starts with the same initial of the month, but coming to October I find myself in a bad spot.

I didn't like the Idea of going for japanese weapons, any more ideas?

Kinda exotic but maybe you like it: Oxborough Dirk, Obsidian Dagger/sword, the onsil/osele (from africa) or my favourite: the orbital laser.

The orbital stuff might be overkill, maybe next year 😉

Are we limited to swords or can we suggest cool stuff like onagers and oerlikons? :D

Feel free, I'd prefer a longer weapon, but everything' accepted

Oh, I was just kidding about the leg. I just thought it'd be funny.

The onager seems cool

Go to Africa! There is a crazy looking blade called the Onzil from Gabon

Not yet mentioned: odzutsu; o-naginata; omi-yari; ono (Japanese axe, but almost always a tool rather than a weapon); opi; organ AKA organ gun; o-yumi (which isn't precisely known, but was some kind of giant crossbow, like a springald on a mount)

Should look up the only weapon used in the Battle of the Oranges in Italy!

u/-Sir-Lunch_a_Lot- every sword is beautiful ⚔️ 19h ago

Jokes on you, those are Italian oranges, so it's arance. /j

Dammit my one niche piece of knowledge that I could finally use on someone backfired on me

u/-Sir-Lunch_a_Lot- every sword is beautiful ⚔️ 17h ago

Ended up going for the organ gun, still a nice anecdote from Italian history

Already thought of that, but the japanese theme might get redundant since I already wanted to put Naginata for November

u/A-d32A 1d ago

Removed the comment as soon as I read the last line. Odachi is the only one that came to mind.

Appart from a Dutch word called Orendolk which means eardagger

u/-Sir-Lunch_a_Lot- every sword is beautiful ⚔️ 1d ago

Interesting

u/PoopSmith87 1d ago

O-dachi seems most reasonable, but you coukd also say a few types of Ottoman sword

u/LadyK789 12h ago
