Folks, what's actually a "weapons master"? I can't find the definition anywhere. Wikipedia's def is about an armorer with film and TV production, not about a fantasy related character X(

From a lifetime of reading fantasy and sci-fi, a weaponsmaster is the guy in charge of training fighters and teaching tactics or whatever, OR someone who is a master of fighting. Well, both, probably.

Huh. that wasn't really helpful, was it?

Aha! Thank you! I'm translating Homeland by R. A. Salvatore now :)

It's exactly what it sounds like, someone who is a master of weapons and very proficient with them. As far as I know anyway.

Weapon master = mistr zbrani (obcas se tohle i ozve ve filmech napriklad Duna).
Jinak prelozeno Zbrojmistr. Vetsinou je to ten ktery ma na starost udrzbu majetku ve zbrojnici. Osobne si myslim, ze i dotycne zbrane mistrovsky ovlada (jak jinak by vedel co ktera zbran potrebuje).

Nejsem si jista, jestli nema i neco spolecneho s obranou hradu a velitelem osobni straze panovnika. Vetsinou se tyhle funkce dost prekryvaji.

Sorry for the non English.

No, ja si to taky myslela, ale on je to bojovy mistr, ktery trenuje vojaky X(

V dnesni dobe se zbrojmistr (napr u hasicu) vetsinou stara o vyzbroj. Zajimalo kdy se tyhle funkce zmenily. Z ucitele na skladnika.
