It's the most potent but not the best, it's size and the one of the bomber required for its launch makes the bomb easy to intercept, very easy in fact with today's tech, cluster bombs with nuclear warheads are better for most nuclear conflicts unless one of the sides doesn't have any kind of anti-air weapon.

As far as melee weapons go, the rapier and the spear are the best. Katana aren't bad though, so long as it isn't one of those shitty traditional japanese ones.

The katana is not the best weapon, but it's by far the most efficient sword.

If angled properly, a katana can cut even a bullet in half.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.

Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:

(One-Handed Exotic Weapon)
1d12 Damage
19-20 x4 Crit
+2 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork

(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon)
2d10 Damage
17-20 x4 Crit
+5 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.

That's quite a difficult engineering challenge. You'd have to have the bullets home in on the blades to shoot them accurately, and sometimes they might miss the katana.

Why would you want to have a gun to shoot katanas anyway? It's easier to shoot the people holding them.
