I think the answer that Todd suggested (at the last NELUG meeting) was that
swords, lances, etc., were added because they're 'historical'... and also you
"can't have knights without swords"... as for the cannons, rifles, and pistols,
well, I think the 'rule' just got more and more bent. Besides, again, 15th
century ships just wouldn't be right without a cannon hanging out the
side... But you will notice that modern day lego has no weapons... The police
don't even get sticks... tough to catch Jailbreak Joe that way, I guess.
My question is for Steve... where did the quote come from? And what other
colors did they mean, I wonder... Maybe Gary should do a 'History of Green and
Brown Bricks' or 'History of LEGO Weapons' next! :)
