Line #6 PlayingWith/WeaponsKitchenSink


1	'''Basic Trope''': The weapons being used by the characters are more diverse than history would suggest.
2	* '''Straight''': [[TheHero Will]] uses a [[HeroesPreferSwords long sword]], [[TheLancer Matt]] uses a [[RoyalRapier rapier]], and [[TheBigGuy Clay]] uses a [[{{BFS}} claymore]].
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** [[TheHero Will]] uses a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]], [[TheLancer Matt]] uses a [[EnergyWeapon laser rifle]], and [[TheBigGuy Clay]] uses a [[ImprobableWeaponUser Macuahuitl]].
5	** ''[[SerialEscalation Every single character]]'' is a WalkingArmory carrying a stone axe, a [[{{BFS}} Zweihander]], a halberd, a [[GreatBow Yumi Bow]], an [[{{BFG}} anti-material rifle]], a [[GatlingGood Minigun]], and a [[LaserBlade laser sword]]. All attached onto a mountain climbing backpack.
6	* '''Downplayed''': All the members of the FiveManBand use the same type of weapon. The prop department used a metal just a few years too advanced for the era.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** The show is about aliens lifting heroes from different times and places throughout history to see [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny who is the strongest]].
9	** The gang had to rummage the ''[[BreakOutTheMuseumPiece Weaponry through history exposition]]'' to arm themselves.
10	* '''Inverted''': All the members of the FiveManBand use [[HeroesPreferSwords longswords]], [[HollywoodTactics even when their tactics suggest they should diversify]] and use different weapons such as ranged weapons and polearms.
11	* '''Subverted''': We see Matt holding a katana, but it's in the "Exotic Weapons" section of the armory and he says "This looks cool, but I have no clue how to use it."
12	* '''Double Subverted''': He takes the katana with him anyway.
13	* '''Parodied''':
14	** [[TheHero Will]] uses a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]], [[TheLancer Matt]] uses a [[JokeWeapon giant paper fan]], and [[TheBigGuy Clay]] uses [[GrievousHarmWithABody Matt]].
15	** Zane uses his uncle's brainchild, [[InstantChucks Sword Chucks, yo!]]
16	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
17	* '''Averted''': The characters use different weapons appropriate to time period and situation.
18	* '''Enforced''': The prop department had NoBudget for procuring long swords for all characters, but they did have [[PropRecycling a collection of random weapons from previous projects]].
19	* '''Lampshaded''':
20	-->'''[[TheLancer Matt]]''': "Where the hell did [[TheHero Will]] find a katana during Renaissance era England? [[BreakingTheFourthWall This show isn't historically accurate at all!]]"
21	* '''Invoked''': ???
22	* '''Exploited''': ???
23	* '''Defied''': The heroes were offered katanas and laser weapons. They reject them in favor of familiar weapons.
24	* '''Discussed''': ???
25	* '''Conversed''': ???
