Yep, that's what happened. He actually filed a complaint about the US dropping the bomb to the Ministry of Defence, saying that it was dishonourable and "not sporting". lengua.gif

Still, shows how effective great weapons can be in an era of modern weapons!

That, and utter badassery combined with batshit insanity. He carried around freaking bagpipes into combat. After a mortor shell took out everyone in his group that was less badass than he was (ie - everyone else) the Germans found him sitting around playing the **** things as he waited for capture. A normal man can only dream to have balls as big as his.

Yeah, a mono great sword is gonna lay waste to a person pretty quickly and efficiently assuming the wielder isn't shot to death before he gets close enough to use it. Personally I don't see how it's 'OP' between the lack of range, the existence of dual wielding, autofire, suppressive fire, heavy weapons, and the higher tier guns. That said however, it is definitely a superb and highly competitive weapon for its comparative cost and availability.

That all said, I agree with the notion that the accurate and effective ranges of DH weapons are completely absurd. In most cases the base range should be at least doubled.
