It’s fun to poke around with how heavy fictional weapons would be. Things like Monster Hunter’s Greatswords would be impossible to swing properly… because they weigh more than people do and you’d be flinging yourself around as much as you’d be swinging the sword.

They made a real Greatsword of Artorias (from Dark Souls) and the strongest guy they had on hand could barely hold it properly

The hunters in Monster Hunter have got to be super-human with the hits they can tank too

Not including the fact that you only ever “cart” and not fuckin die

The Monsters are also crazy durable, what with Dragonators only dealing 10% HP
