I strenuously disagree that a sabaton isn't "specifically for the purpose of war or violence". It's a piece of armor, how is that not for the purpose of war?

Sure, it isn't a weapon, but the description didn't ask for only weapons.

Fair. Maybe a caveat is needed that says “offensive weapons only”.

I think swapping it out for something else entirely would be the better choice. That's like saying a bulletproof vest or a suit of armor aren't used for "war or violence." When else would you have a need for sabatons?

Well, the quiz is meant to be about offensive weapons. Body armour wouldn't be a valid answer, in my opinion; it's not a weapon.

Definitely agree with their complete removal; especially given that they are a piece of metal armour, where any part of it can be used with lethal intent

Or maybe add that their primary use is to kill or maim another. I imagine that the hammers from a glockenspiel, the body of a hurdy gurdy or a large samovar could inflict a lot of damage up to death on another person.

Tridents were used primarily for fishing, not combat. Does that still count as violence?

Tridents were used as polearms at various points in history. Gladiators often used them in matches.

The gladiators that used them did so because they were specifically fisherman themed and were also armed with fishing nets, they were called retiarii and were kinda laughed at because their weapons suck

Well, fair, but I'll hang my hat on the dangpa then. It's a trident used in South Korean martial arts. Tridents have been used specifically for actual combat at times, and in most people's minds they are a weapon. :)

Any object is a weapon if you hold it right and some esoteric martial art that uses them with no use in actual warfare means nothing. And in your own words "specifically for the purpose of war or violence", no. The trident was designed for fishing, and unless you equate fishing with violence, you are flat out wrong on this and I will die on this hill. Great quiz otherwise!

You take your fishing pole and I'll take an actual weapon! Seriously though I thought it was a trick answer. To avoid future grumbling by others dorky as me, I humbly submit Kukri or balisong as possible replacements. God bless :)

Just wait until we sit down to tea with latkes and unagi and I clock you over the head with my samovar (acquired with dinars, of course). Nobody will see it coming because I'll be stealthily concealed by my balaclava

Yes, the trident was first made for fishing, but soon became a weapon in many cultures and religions: Korea, Hinduism (Shiva is associated with the trident), Rome, etc.). If it became an often-used weapon, then it's a weapon. An axe was first made to cut meat and wood, but if you don't think it is a weapon, then my Dwarf friend Gimli has a word or two for you.

Good quiz! Tridents were used for fishing mostly. Although they were used in combat they were not invented specifically for war. Also, Nunchuks were used to break up rice from its casing! So it also was not created secifically for war. Fun fact, the majority of weapons used by shinobi were easily accessible farming equipment, which helped them smuggle it into cities.

Quiz overall was very fun!

The thing with Sai and Sabaton is that Sai is a weapon created to disarm opponent without harm. It was meant for militia like forces for peace keeping in cities and sabaton was a piece of armor made for battles so I'd argue that sabaton fits the description more than the sai. It's kinda misleading
