WeaponLift at Troynovant:
Shooting through and over the thicket of
Weapons and Martial Arts;
Gun Rights and Freedom of Self-Defense;
listed by Title

Note that many fine novels, stories, & films with characters employing traditional or exotic weaponry, are not listed here unless the work or the review targets general ideas about weapons as a literary component, or is thoughtful on the nature of weapons (weapon lift and heft and throw-weight), martial techniques and purposes, or wapentake (taking up arms in the old sense). We list as well those which consider the relation of weapons to freedom, the philosophy of violent self-defense; or which just include a bulging arsenal or truly fascinating weaponry.

What’s With These Apologies?
  Teaching Firearms as Useful Tools		 KA Graham
      

[Gloucester's bedchamber and an adjoining room of state, Bury St. Edmunds.]

King Henry:

What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted?
Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just;
And he but naked, locked up in steel,
Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.

...
[Enter Suffolk and Warwick with their weapons drawn]

King Henry:

Why, how now lords? Your wrathful weapons drawn
Here in our presence? Dare you be so bold?

William Shakespeare
2 Henry VI, 3.2.232-239
