10
7 220 The officer, a swaggering fellow whose helmet, though polished, bore the marks of combat, approached me, holding his sword to me, and seized my weapon from its scabbard and the girl's dagger from my belt.
Details
10
8 73 The girl dropped the weapon, sinking to her knees and covering her face with her hands.
Details
10
9 142 "If you want her, you must challenge for her and meet me with the weapon of my choice".

10
9 156 At last, terminating a frenzied exchange, I managed to drive my blade into his shoulder, and as his sword arm dropped, I kicked the weapon from his grasp.
Details
10
12 22 "My weapon," he said, simply extending his hand.
Details
10
12 131 I frantically looked about for a weapon, and then, hardly believing my eyes, I saw, woven roughly into the nest sticks, the remains of my harness and saddle.
Details
10
12 134 As he stalked forward, oblivious of the spear, I hurled the broad-headed weapon deep into his breast.
Details
10
12 138 I withdrew the weapon and, using it as a lever, rolled the twitching body to the brink of the ledge and sent it flopping to the depths below.
Details
10
14 51 He lifted the weapon, wielding the heavy metal blade as though it were a straw.
Details
10
14 89 One tarnsman leveled a crossbow, and in that instant I hurled the lance and he toppled backward, the shaft of the weapon protruding from his chest, the bolt from his crossbow ricocheting from the rock above my head with a flash of sparks.

10
14 148 In a few wild moments I had gained the saddle straps of the bird and hauled myself nearly to the weapon rings.
Details
10
15 75 Still I would not speak, not while he controlled a weapon; unfortunately, the first thing a Gorean warrior is likely to do to the stranger in his tent is kill him, the second is to find out who he is.

10
15 204 "A Ubar," he cried, "answers such a question only with his sword!" My weapon, too, had flashed from its sheath almost simultaneously.

17 53 Possession of a weapon would be regarded as a capital offense.

2 28 It is a terrible weapon and, abetted by the somewhat lighter gravity of Gor, when cast with considerable force, can pierce a shield at close quarters or bury its head a foot deep in solid wood.

9 106 I leaned my shield and spear against the wall, set the helmet beside the table, unslung the sword belt, laying the weapon across the table before me, and prepared to wait.

10
20 2 It was the only weapon I carried.

2 120 This ridge can be penetrated by the spear but anything less than a perfect cast will result in the weapon's being deflected through the cheek of the animal, inflicting a cruel but unimportant wound.

12 46 For some reason I unbuckled the sword belt and reluctantly handed the weapon to Misk.

17 138 "Forbidden weapon," said Sarm.

19 18 The weapon felt good again in my hand.
Details
10
19 57 "It will not be easy with your tiny weapon," he said, "but Misk will be unable to resist you and so you may take as much time as you wish".
Details
10
22 45 "Not really with your weapon," said Misk.
Details
10
22 166 The brief reach of the blade tended to be more than compensated for by the rapidity with which it might be wielded and the ease with which it might work beneath the guard of a longer weapon.
Details
10
22 167 If the swordsman with a longer weapon could not finish the fight in the first thrust or two he was a dead man.

10
28 5 I think with one such weapon a man might have made himself Ubar of all Gor.

28 13 Therefore it was much to my surprise when I heard a distant singing in the tunnel that grew louder as I approached and soon I slowed the transportation disk and waited, my weapon ready.

28 18 And as I waited on the still disk in the darkness, my weapon ready, I suddenly saw far down the tunnel the sudden blue flash of an opened Mul-Torch and then its steady blaze, and then I saw another flash and blaze and another and to my amazement it seemed that these fires hung from the very ceiling ...

28 242 When we had constructed the ship we felt that now we had what might prove to be, in this strange subterranean war, the decisive weapon.
Details
10
29 41 I knew nothing of the armament of the ships of Sarm and I knew I had only the silver tube in my own craft, a weapon far outclassed in destructive potential by the gravitational disrupters mounted in the ships of Sarm.
Details
10
29 58 This time, should I dive again, I knew it would be impossible to conceal my position from them, for they would then know I was below them and at least one of the ships would be almost certain to cover me with its weapon.
Details
10
29 74 My heart leaped! Ground fire! I could imagine Misk hastening to his tools and the vast assemblage of instrumentation in his shop, or perhaps sending an outraged Priest-King to some secret arsenal where lay a forbidden weapon, one to which Misk would never have had recourse were it not for the hideou...
Details
10
29 91 The silver tube might be draining its power but it was still a fearsome weapon against an exposed enemy.
Details
10
29 99 I would have had a clean burst at the ship but the tube was, for all practical purposes, no longer an effective weapon.
Details
10
29 145 The ship, as I discovered, had been manned by only two Priest-Kings, probably one at the controls, the other at the weapon.
Details
10
30 32 Otherwise I would be used as a weapon by Sarm, used to injure and destroy my friends.
Details
10
30 61 The creature Parp spent a great deal of time in the vicinity, puffing on that small pipe, keeping it lit interminably with the tiny silver lighter which I had once mistaken for a weapon.
Details
10
30 63 It turned out that Misk, not trusting Sarm from the very beginning, had prepared a disruption device which he would not have used had it not been for Sarm's employment of that devastating weapon.
Details
10
30 64 But now that Misk's forces possessed a similar weapon Sarm, in fear, set his own similar devices aside.
Details
10
30 76 It was not more than a day later before one of Sarm's own scouts laid aside his weapon and, as the Priest-Kings say, succumbed to the Pleasures of the Golden Beetle.
Details
10
31 133 I hoped that such firing might exhaust the charge of the weapon.
Details
10
31 139 His weapon fired again, slicing through the top of the dome in his vicinity and striking beneath me, melting a hole in the dome below me.
Details
10
31 140 Twice more Sarm fired and twice more I scrambled about on the walkway trying to keep the two surfaces of the globe between myself and his weapon.
Details
10
31 143 As I climbed, to my elation, I saw the tube's flame sputter and stop and knew the weapon was at last discharged.
Details
10
31 146 I wondered if he regretted wasting a large part of his weapon's charge on firing at me.
Details
10
31 169 The weapon left my sheath.
Details
10
31 172 The bar he wielded was a fearsome weapon and with it he could strike me from the walkway, hurling me perhaps two hundred feet to the opposite wall, before I could get within yards of him.
Details
10
32 323 Parp stood framed in the doorway holding that tiny silver lighter with which it seemed I had seen him fumble and light his pipe a thousand times, that small cylinder I had once mistaken for a weapon.

Book 4. (32 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
10 450 The warrior of the Wagon Peoples does not use the short sword, probably because such a weapon could not be optimally used from the saddle of the kaiila; the saber, incidentally, which would be somewhat more effective from kaiilaback, is almost unknown on Gor; its role, I gather, is more than fulfill...

3 2 I might have thrown myself to the ground as the larl hunters from Ar, once their weapon is cast, covering myself with the shield; but then I would have been beneath the clawed paws of four squealing, snorting kaiila, while the riders jabbed at me with lances, off my feet, helpless.
Details
10
4 28 Gorean warriors hunt men and larls with this weapon.
Details
10
4 30 To the astonishment of the Tuchuk and the others who observed, I threw away the weapon.
Details
10
4 38 It was probably developed for hunting the tumit, a huge, flightless carnivorous bird of the plains, but the Wagon Peoples use it also, and well, as a weapon of war.
Details
10
4 44 I had never encountered such a weapon and I had little notion as to how it might be met.
Details
10
4 53 The quiva reversed itself in his hand, an action so swift I was only aware of it as his arm flew back, his hand on the blade, to hurl the weapon.
Details
10
5 34 She would be allowed no garments, that she might not be able to conceal a weapon; the bells would mark each of her movements.
Details
10
8 215 The bow, of course, small, for use from the saddle, lacks the range and power of the Gorean longbow or crossbow; still, at close range, with considerable force, firing rapidly, arrow after arrow, it is a fearsome weapon.
Details
10
8 597 Albrecht the Kassar, puzzled, surrendered the weapon.
Details
10
8 598 "There is blood on the weapon," said the judge.
Details
10
10 444 Unfortunately for Kamchak, I knew that this was the year in which the Turian foeman might propose the weapon of combat.
Details
10
10 446 Thus if Kamras chose a weapon with which Kamchak did not feel at ease, the Tuchuk might, with some grace, decline the combat, in this forfeiting only a Kassar girl, which I was sure would not overly disturb the philosophical Kamchak.
Details
10
10 449 In all my time among the wagons I had not seen one of the Gorean short swords, so fierce and swift and common a weapon among those of the cities.
Details
10
10 453 The fact that the saber is not a common weapon of Wagon Peoples is a reflection of the style, nature and conditions of warfare to which they are accustomed, a matter of choice on their part rather than the result of either ignorance or technological limitation.
Details
10
10 454 The saber, incidentally, is not only unpopular among the Wagon Peoples but among the warriors of Gor generally; it is regarded as being too long and clumsy a weapon for the close, sharp combat so dear to the heart of the warrior of the cities; further it is not of much use from the saddle of a tarn ...
Details
10
10 455 The important point, however, in the circumstances was that Kamras had proposed the sword as the weapon of his encounter with Kamchak, and poor Kamchak was almost certain to be as unfamiliar with the sword as you or I would be with any of the more unusual weapons of Gor, say, the whip knife of Port ...

10 456 Incidentally, Turian warriors, in order to have the opportunity to slay a foe, as well as acquire his woman, customarily choose as the weapon of combat in these encounters, buckler and dagger, ax and buckler, dagger and whip, ax and net, or the two daggers, with the reservation that the quiva, if us...

10 535 In the last moment I cried out to Kamchak, "For the sake of Priest-Kings, hold the weapon thus!" trying to teach him the simplest of the commoner grips for the hilt of the short sword, permitting a large degree of both retention and flexibility.

15 9 The mercenary tarnsmen of Turia were most feared by the Tuchuks, for such could, with relative impunity, fire upon them from the safety of their soaring height, but even this dread weapon of Turia could not, by itself, drive the Tuchuks from the surrounding plains.

7 122 To possess such a weapon, of course, on Gor was a capital offense, it being a violation of the weapon laws of Priest-Kings.

10
22 402 The tarnsman commonly carries, strapped to the saddle, a Gorean spear, a fearsome weapon, but primarily a missile weapon, and one more adapted to infantry.

5 336 "Moreover, we insist that they respect the weapon and technology laws of Priest-Kings, as a condition for their permitted survival".
Details
10
7 133 "Surely it is a forbidden weapon," said the man-at-arms.

13 287 The major difference is the tautness of the reins between the two rings; the racing saddle, on the other hand, is only a slip of leather compared to the common tarn saddle, which is rather large, with saddle packs, weapon sheaths and paired slave rings.

22 396 It is small, double-curved, about four feet in length, built up of layers of bosk horn, bound and reinforced with metal and leather; it is banded with metal at seven points, including the grip, metal obtained from Turia in half-inch rolled strips; the leather is applied diagonally, in two-inch strip...
Details
10
22 398 I suspect, however, that the truest reason is that tarnsmen, never having learned respect for the small bow, tend to despise such a weapon, regarding it as unworthy a Warrior's hand, as being too puny and ineffective to win the approval of a true Gorean fighting man.

Book 6. (30 results) Raiders of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 23 Well used, the long bow is a far more devastating weapon than its rival, the crossbow; but few men had the strength and eye to use it well; I prided myself on my skill with the weapon.
Details
10
1 19 Yet, as a weapon, it has serious disadvantages, and on Gor the crossbow, inferior in accuracy, range and rate of fire, with its heavy cable and its leaves of steel, tends to be generally favored.
Details
10
1 20 The long bow cannot well be used except in a standing, or at least kneeling, position, thus making more of a target of the archer; the long bow is difficult to use from the saddle; it is impractical in close quarters, as in defensive warfare or in fighting from room to room; and it cannot be kept se...
Details
10
1 22 It is not difficult to see why, popularly, the crossbow should be regarded as a generally more efficient weapon than the long bow, in spite of being inferior to it, in the hands of an expert, in range, accuracy and rate of fire.
Details
10
1 25 It is the weapon of a peasant, I heard echoing in my mind, and again smiled.
Details
10
1 29 It was true that the long bow is a weapon of peasants, who make and use them, sometimes with great efficiency.
Details
10
1 30 That fact, in itself, that the long bow is a peasant weapon, would make many Goreans, particularly those not familiar with the bow, look down upon it.
Details
10
1 32 Peasants, incidentally, are seldom, except in emergencies, utilized in the armed forces of a city; this is a further reason why their weapon, the long bow, is less known in the cities, and among warriors, than it deserves to be.
Details
10
1 36 I myself, perhaps because I had been raised not on Gor, but on Earth, did not, fortunately in my opinion, suffer from these inhibiting prepossessions; I could use the long bow with, so to speak, no tincture of shame, no confusion of conscience, without the least injury to my self-esteem; I knew the ...

8 232 Accordingly she would follow me bearing the weapon unstrung.

9 223 The whip knife is a delicate weapon, and can be used with elegance, with finesse; it is, as far as I know, unique to Port Kar.
