Greatsword > All
The greatsword, to me, is the greatest self-defense weapon at home.
Why?
Because if you jump into someone's house to burglarize with a gun, you're not expecting resistance. Much less from some who's overly-tall and/or strong. Especially if they're carrying a sword that's likely over a foot taller than you. Not only does this throw them off for a moment, which is a much bigger advantage than it seems, but it's freaking intimidating even if they do have a gun and you just have a sword. On top of all this, it's seven feet. If it doesn't throw them off and they're as tall as Shaquille O'Neal, if you can catch them for even a few seconds it's long enough that you can skewer them, which is completely legal if they're pointing a gun at you.
This is also why I feel that in England instead of nightsticks police should be given swords. The pommel can be used like one, and frankly a cop with a greatsword is going to stop any small-time criminal or chav in their tracks.
