With two arms, humans seem swift, agile and highly efficient in manoeuvring weapons; one might wonder, how about with four arms?
Imaginatively, since it is not naturally realistic, this human would have a significant advantage in combat by having four arms, and this is because it could wield multiple weapons or grapple with multiple opponents at the same time. Due to this likely advantage, they will likely prefer weapons that can be used in pairs or have grips that are easy to manipulate with two hands.
Among the weapons that come to mind is the chakram, a traditional Indian throwing weapon that can be held in both hands and thrown simultaneously to create a formidable attack. As well as its throwing capabilities, the chakram can be used for slashing and cutting in close combat.
Another favourable weapon in mind is the sai. Four-armed humans may also consider the sai, a short, pointed weapon frequently used in pairs in martial arts, such as Okinawan Kobudo. The sai's compact size makes it easy to use with two arms, allowing quick and precise strikes.
Regarding fighting styles, a four-armed human would likely be drawn to martial arts emphasising fluid movement and agility. As a result, they might be particularly adept at kicks and acrobatics, such as capoeira or taekwondo. 685
They would be able to deliver unexpected strikes from unexpected angles using these styles.
Four-armed humans may also appreciate straightforward fighting styles emphasising brute force and raw power. As a result of their extra arms, four-armed humans could use them to deliver powerful punches and kicks in styles like boxing or Muay Thai. This type of Indian punch dagger has an H-shaped handle that can be held in each hand, allowing powerful thrusting attacks and blocking.
With four arms, a person could wield another weapon called the nunchaku that comes in pairs. Gripping two pairs of nunchaku simultaneously would create a flurry of attacks that opponents would have difficulty avoiding.
One old but relevant one in this scenario is the spear sword. A long sword with blades on both ends, also called a "spear sword" or "two-handed sword", would be grip and swing-friendly, creating a whirlwind of slashing attacks in combat times.
Using four arms, a person could use two war hammers simultaneously, easily crushing and piercing opponents. In addition to these examples, a four-armed human could create their unique weapons by combining different types of weapons or modifying existing ones. 685
