No, disrespect, but there are many inaccuracies here. You allow 'zweihander' from the German, but not Montante, Claymore, Double-hander, and many other names for the large greatsword. You don't allow halberd, glaive, or many other terms for the long poleaxe pike. And what does 'resembles THAT OF a simple walking stick' mean? Bad wording. It resembles the stick. Also, lamellar brigandine type armour should also allow 'squamous' or scale.

what's worse is that the Zweihander was a very very specific two-handed sword that would have a sort of cross guard in close to the actual crossguard so that the Landsknecht using it could go to a knee and plant and get low so as to deal with a horse or a knight on a horse. He/she would have been better served just putting longsword.

As Marvo stated, this quiz has a lot of inaccuracies, and that's why I don't rate it very highly.
