Weapons of Equestria
So for those of us who read fantasy we ALL love weapons of all different styles and shapes and sizes. However in the world of Equestria some of our weapons simply would not be usable by the hooved populace, excusing some exception.
The Guards themselves tend to be a bit useless but they would be the most trusted to actually learn how to use weaponry. Polearms I would presume, it would fit their royal patrols, but other characters I can't help but imagine would use different things.
Earth Ponies like Applejack might use more hoof based armament, ala a caestus bladed horseshoe excetera, or possibly an Ax in their powerful hooves. Though we have seen an exception to this rule with Applebloom using a Foil type weapon in a early episode. I would just assume that such weapons are incredibly tiring to use due to needing to stand bipedal in order to use them.
Unicorns of course have magic, which makes them cheaters, but through their usage of Levitation might err more towards swords then most other ponies. Whether it be a broadsword, arming sword, Zweihander, Claymore,Rapier, or longsword their levitation magic would make them supreme at using this kind of weaponry. I can imagine a lot of daggers among them too. Or Needles for Rarity's sake.
Fun fact guns were made and given to the public way before Rapiers were even made.
Ah the Pegasi and Thestrals. The fastest and more militaristic of the cultures. I imagine that they would be the most likely to use Ranged Weaponry, an Aerial Assault would be down right deadly, spears, daggers, and despite the Roman-Aesthetic of their past Military Culture would rely on fast hitting weaponry rather then ordered tactics. So Pilum, Light leather shields. short spears. Hell maybe even putting bladed sheaths on their wings.
I honestly have no idea what to think of regarding the Yak's, Griffons, Kirins,Dragons, Hippogriffs, Umbrum/Umbrum Ponies,Minotaur's, Gargoyles, and Centaurs, Alicorns, and Changelings/Changedlings though. Centaurs, Gargoyles, Minotaurs, Griffons, and Hippogriffs are especially weird considering that they have the closest things to our own hands.
I don't know these were just my own ideas. What do the rest of y'all think? What kinds of weapons would each pony tribe use in Equestria? What would each of them be more likely to specialize in? What do you think these other races and cultures would end up using?
