As most of us know, the basic weapon used by Uruk-Hai, and one of the most reconizable weapons in Arda, is called the Uruk-Hai Scimitar... This is incorrect, a scimitar is curved, and were light swords that made excellent use for fight on horseback. However, these so called Uruk-Hai 'scimitars' are more like a cleaver or a machete. They have no curve, I can see why people may call it a scimitar becuase of the spike, but that is just a modification to the completly flat one edged blade used to pierce thick armor. Also, I've held a real life replica of one made of the material that the weapons are made of, iron. The dang thing was heavy, and when swung felt like a hammer-sword monstrosity. When I held a scimitar from the Middle-East, it felt a whole world different, it felt like a sword meant for slashing and thrusting (which is what it's made for.) So I think with all these reasons, you should simply change the Uruk-Hai 'Scimitar's' name to Uruk-Hai machete(or cleaver, which ever you feel is better)

Thanks for reading!
