I think you are correct on this Kai Wee.
Radu, i personally see nothing wrong with this post and the pictures. Frankly i think we sopend far too much time trying to discuss weapons in a cultural vacuum. Let's see more pictures of the places and other cultural artifacts from those places where so many of the weapons we discuss come from. It can only add to a greater understanding of the weapons themselves.
