Curved light swords, such as the famous Outback Sabre, are notoriously vicious when cleaving through flesh, yet helpless against even the lightest armour. They can only excel in two scenarios: firstly, when the proliferation of firearms has made armour obsolete, and second, in the hands of a brave cavalryman delivering a thunderous charge.
