Since these are "historical arms", I thought I would post these for your viewing pleasure. These are nuclear fireball images taken at the moment of detonation at 1/100,000,000 of a second exposure through a 10ft lens at 7 miles.

Powerful. But nasty nasty stuff.
BTW...how many of you say nuclear the proper way? Its funny because a bunch of people in school say it like its nuc-U-lear which is absolutely wrong  . Just a thought.

I had the Windlass Steelcrafts model. Threaded rattail tang, loose fittings, not properly tempered. Check out my review. It was supposed to be a 20,000 megaton, but the styling on the big red button was closer to the 80,000 megaton. Of course I bought it used, but the pitting on the tailfins took hours to buff out. Furthermore it was a bit noseheavy, and hard to control in the thrust. I can't recommend this replica.

The Albion version solved all those problems.

Can you get a Christan Fletcher custom job on the Albion? 
I think I want one in fluorescent green and oxblood...
"this [fight] looks curious, almost like a game. See, they are looking around them before they fall, to find a dry spot to fall on, or they are falling on their shields. Can you see blood on their cloths and weapons? No. This must be trickery."
