		*Yeah, looks to be around the right size. Longsword's a two-handed grip and a blade > 35in, I think.
		i dont think its a long sword not a big enough grip
		Long swords are one handed swords. It's probably a bastard sword.
		:A Bastard sword IS a type of Long sword, so are Broad swords and Two-handed swords (not including Great swords). - [[User:Mr. Wolf\|Mr. Wolf]] 19:18, 4 April 2011 (CDT)

		I´ve seen the film a couple of times, and i´d swear that those are one-handed longswords. The fact is that actors that don´t have sword training usually wields them as if they were 'bastard' swords. Bastard is a term coined in the XIX century to name what is today called a Hand and a half sword, that is, swords with a long enough pommel to be used one or two handed. That type of sword have a blade between 105-115 cm long, and the swords in the film are clearly shorter, about 85-90, a length usual for a one-handed longsword.
		It looks to defiantly be a one-handed sword. By the design it seems like a late middle ages french style one and a half handed broadsword. I didn't see it quite close enough to see if it was a one handed sword that the actors hold like a one and a half.

	I worked on the movie. As far as I know no live firing weapons were used - everything that looks like a real gun is either airsoft, deactivated, or a complete fantasy. Most of the "Fantasy Rifles" were foam mouldings (which used plastic pudding pots, with attached lids, to simulated the capped ends of a scope!). The hero guns had tubing for CO2, which was pulsed through by an FX guy with a fire extinguisher piped up to the gun. The flashes are CGI.

	The handguns were airsoft with the trivial modification required to dry fire; you can see the little white blasts of gas, which was entirely appropriate to the director's ideas that everything was steam-powered.

	~~The enormous emplaced gun used by Pertwee's character had pneumatically-actuated shell ejection from a rotating belt of faux shells, the column of steam being created by a wallpaper stripper.~~

	And how did you miss El Jesus's shotgun! Made of two chunks of aluminium scaffold pole for barrels, and again with tubing for CO2 (note the moment where he and Jane's character go back to back). Ridiculously, shown firing repeatedly, even though it had the mechanism to show the double barrels being reloaded.

	~~Shot on R and S stages at Shepperton and on the Isle of Man in summer 2006.~~
