Well, if you have a Terminator type hero, he could punch through the dude and tear his heart out. Or if you had a vampire guy. Or a barbarian.

Can't we all remember that minifig everyone has, but never really uses in a non-randomized army?

Spider-man! You know, guy who can punch and kill you if he felt like it.

Of course I just give him all those close combat abilities and count his hands as weapons, because spider-man should never use a gun.

Ninjas always look more kickass w/ katanas though.

Not to mention shuriken, grappling hooks, nun-chucks, etc.

Katanas suck! Yes, they look kickass, but they're not. A longsword is much better.

Katanas can only be used for slashing. A longsword can skewer, hack, etc. A katana is also unable to parry as heavy attacks as a longsword can without breaking.

Have you ever actually held, or even attempted to swing a longsword?

Useful tip for those of us who have lots of broken mini-fig hands: Fit them onto your ninja/kung-fu warriors. They make it look like he's doing a chop.

Katanas don't kill you as often when they break. They're made to sphincter into the enemy when they break.

I read it in a webcomic, surely it must be true?

yes you only use katana's for slashing, and only with the few inches at the end of the thing too.

What? Lies! A katana is a cutting weapon, designed to impact, and then pull through. However, you can stab! They are also way stronger than longswords were.

I saw a documentary 2 weeks ago and it said that katanas are suited for weak people, because they do not need much force to cut something; on the other hand, longswords' strength depends on the wielder's physical strength.
