There are multiple parts of the fencing sword. There is a pommel, that holds almost every part of the sword in place. There is the grip, which one holds the sword with, the guard, which is of varying sizes depending on the weapon, and the blade, the most important part of the sword. If it is an epee or a foil, there will be a tip that will depress at the end of the blade, as well as wires running to the tip.
the blade.
An epee will typically have a broader, deeper bell guard around the grip than a foil, which has a much smaller guard. When fencing with an electric weapon, the epee's tip requires a simple depression to activate the scoring light, whereas the foil's tip must depress when in contact with an opponent's lame.
Although certain parts of swords are names more technically, such as the ricasso (unsharpened section a few inches from the hilt), fuller (groove to lighten and stiffen the blade) or tang (rod/section that extends into the handle for durability), the actual tip of the sword is quite simply called the point, or thrusting tip.
There are 3 types of fencing swords: Epee Foil Sabre The target area of epee is the whole body. You hit with the tip of the blade. For foil, only the torso is target area, and you also get a touch with the blade's tip. Sabre is only the upper body. You use the side of the blade, but you can also use the tip.
Its a kind of sword, its what people use in fencing, it has a sharp tip that is usually covered or blunted for safety purposes.
it differs depending on the weapon. for foil fencing ((a foil is a bendable sword with a rubber tip)) - always wear a helmet (safety reasons)) - once you extend your arm, your turn is over. - you may only touch in areas covered by the uniform. thats all i can think of, other than safety rules...
Depends in what category; for example: in combat, there in limitless uses for a sword, maybe not smart uses, but uses nonetheless. In practical situations, swords have an infinite amount of uses, just like asking how many uses are there for a cog, knife, or screwdriver.
it means a sword curved at the very tip.
He is stabbed by the tip of Laertes' poisoned rapier during their dual. Not necessarily... He is wounded by the rapier, but then stabs Laertes, and kills his uncle before he himself dies.
