Flechettes are usually 2" long +/-. I have a 60" LOA (44" bbl) rifle and a 58" LOA (42" bbl) smoothbore. They are on the walls as no normal safe will hold them. Longarms belong on the wall, anyway. ![DSCN0046](https://sixguns.com/uploads/default/original/1X/b41672781b9dd816b094f9d92888dfbccbb915d9.jpeg) ---

Market hunters used them at the end of the 19th century (notably on the Chesapeake Bay) to take out dozens of waterfowl on the water (not in flight). The punts were little, flat and usually camoflaged boats, like 4’ wide kayaks, usually covered with cut grasses. Oh, and they also work well on Graboids. πŸ˜‰ ![Image](https://sixguns.com/uploads/default/original/1X/d486b24bc5ff0680a96475f60ce56cff16aabec7.jpeg) ---

> [@Stumpkiller](#): > > They are on the walls as no normal safe will hold them. Longarms belong on the wall, anyway. Wow. Makes me think of giant katanas (nodachi) used by infantry to fight cavalry. I’ve seen one whose blade was over 7 feet long. ![Odachi_otachi or nodachi_](https://sixguns.com/uploads/default/original/1X/5b3bd42aba8bec0b875e63aaa7de4431a0941bd6.jpeg) ---

The size of nodachi varied a lot. I think the record was 12’4". Often an assistant was needed to sheathe and unsheathe the blade. ---

I wish I were stacked enough to own one, but I’m not and I don’t have one. This is just from what I’ve read in English when I visited Japan, and stuff I’ve read online since. ---

> [@musashiaharon](#): > > The size of nodachi varied a lot. I think the record was 12’4". Often an assistant was needed to sheathe and unsheathe the blade. The nodachi or odachi were swords meant to be used out in fields against cavalry units or horsemen. Normally the samurai using them would have had a sword bearer or servant carrying the sword so the samurai could pull the sword out easily and use it. The closest thing the Europeans had would have been the claymore or zweihander style two handed swords.
