Yes... Hollywood don't care how; just that it does. Originally Chackrams were just sharp wire wrapped in a circle (thus making it springy and able to throw off walls). where as close combat Chackrams were solid metal rings used to "mash things". Some guy in Hollywood probably just typed "Chackram" into google and got the wrong one.

P.S

depends on which way you apply the pressure.
He is a test:
1 get a large Smarties tube and attach a bucket to the top do the same with a Toblerone box
2 pour equal amounts of water into each bucket
3 see which bends first

N.B If triangles are stronger than circles then why are the corners on castles not triangles?

Chakram are large bladed rings used as a close-combat weapon, named after the sanskrit word "chakra," meaning "circle." OP is referring to a throwing chakram, which is pretty much a giant shuriken, but are often shown in movies or games as bouncing all over the place and decapitating people (Predator comes to mind). Putting it simply, he wants the Ripjack with 1 ammo.

Putting it simply he wants U4E's Reaper.

No, I ment the circular bladed weapon off of "Nox" called the "chakram of embers" which ignighted the target as it hit them, but I thought that that would be too much to ask for. Raziel P.S Yes, this was made famous by Xena, but I saw a movie with a Chackram that was simply made out of sharp wire wrapped in a circle, thats how it bounces off walls. N.B If I appeared rude I did not mean to be

Hardly rude,just a little vague. The idea is good,just too similar to others.

Post subject:	Chackram
The idea is too simlar, and a bit too good. The chackram will bounce and damage anyone in the room, it can only be caught if you have thrown it (automatic switch in modes after thrown: mode 1 throw; mode 2 catch; mode 3 swing) if you switch to another weapon then you cannot catch it and it WILL hurt/kill you. Tactics: throw into a room and runaway! Raziel

I think he has glazing on the mind. But again,look at U4E's reaper,very glaive-like.

Both have sharp edges, both can slice your head off.

Sounds like a Skrith weapon. Predators have something pretty similar, and they, like the Skrith, have a propensity for stabbing, pointy things, and slow-moving glowy projectiles.

In essence, it could be compared to a giant shuriken, yes, but the way they wound the target works entirely differently. A shuriken stabs into you: A glave "attempts" to just slice straight through, rending apart whatever it hits. Obviously not a pretty sight...

Raziel P.S Sorry about not responding sooner! N.B I fixed the spelling mistakes in the quote because I'm a perfectionist.

Glaives have multiple blades. Chakram are roughly circular.

can glaives be called shiruiken? just asking and i think more weapons such as the Skrith Blades should be made althought raziel's idea sound pretty good ecxept that the Charkrams are circular(to me doesn't sound so good) which is what Miracle Matter shows

Actually... the triangle is the strongest shape,the circle is probably chosen for its slight deformability and when it slightly deforms it snaps back,allowing it to bounce off.Of course this is probably ludicrus but don't blame me for what people do in hollywood.

I think that this weapon suits more as a JW weapon. The glaive will be cool if Skrithed, but where I can't see where it would go, because it isn't like any weapon of the mod.

For every defender there was, 20 (or more) attackers fell.

Middle age castles have round towers to avoid the weak points made by corners. Star forts were later. The sharp corners were used so that every part of the wall's base was covered by another part of the castle. They were lower due to cannon (smaller target).

Triangular construction helps when you make everything triangular as far as you can go,this most of the time only shows its true strength when hard metals are present. the reason triangle shaped castles don't exist(I think they don't exist) is that this technique was only discovered lately(I think,too lazy to google it so I'm running off of logic). As for your little test toblerone box?lemme guess it is triangular shaped?
