Here's an idea for a weapon to add to this pack; the Ikkakalaka (I might've misspelled that). much like how lots of African weapons, as you would know, are of designs or boast design features that we typically only associate with fantasy weapons, the Ikkakalaka's a sword that boasts a very BROAD tip; even broader than that of the Indian Khanda. Skallagrim actually recently did a video on weird historical weapons that look fantasy, and the Ikkakalaka was one of them. It'd no doubt be a neat addition to this collection.
Where did you get the names for these weapons? It looks like a bunch of them are based off of museum pieces, but the names don't quite match up. For example, the Gooi Mes seems to be based off of a throwing knife from a tribe called the Ngbaka in the Congo. Google tells me that Gooi Mes is Afrikaans for throwing knife, but they wouldn't be speaking Afrikaans in that part of Africa... or did you name them that was because Afrikaans is *your* native language?
Great work either way - my favourite weapons mods are the ones based off of real-world examples!
Hey man. To be frank the names are just translated to Afrikaans since I spent like 2 hours looking for names of them so I just translated it to Afrikaans.
The area pictured is IDANCorp's secret testing ground. As loyal employees of IDANCorp, neither I nor Charles can disclose the exact location of this testing ground.
If you snoop around and try to infiltrate IDANCorp's testing ground, Dr. McCheese and his B.A.R.Z.E.L. army will end you on behalf of the corporation. Thank you for your time.
