I think he has a rapier with a later hilt from Darkwood. Or statism, if you prefer that formulation.
174. You could also argue that a "rapier" is simply a sword wielded in the manner of a rapier, and a "sidesword" is a sword wielded in the manner of a sidesword, these being different things as defined by various masters. Some good answers here, but I’d like to highlight an undercurrent: civilization.
Both types of system featured weapons with a variety of physical characteristics - simple or complex hilts, cut and thrust or thrust only, etc. Rapier can be plenty of fun, as can sidesword; but rather than "rate how fun" an individual weapon is, I'd generally lean towards whichever you have more access to instruction and partners to fence with.
In an earlier post concerning hand positions in Meyer’s rappier while thrusting I briefly mentioned a comparison to roughly contemporary Italian sidesword styles.
Rapier/side swords or saber/cutlass. You pretty much said it.. .Ricard's has the power attack combo going for it, which is wicked only when it actually works.
Since the Renaissance, swords seem to have become more specialized for one purpose or another, with side swords being a single handed arming sword with a more developed hilt, and that hilt giving more point …
Kvetun Armoury. Rapier is confusing since the "true" civilian rapier had a very different blade from Mair's rappier, Marozzo's sword, or Silver's short sword - and they were all used very differently from the "true" civilian rapier. I'm going to be in what is essentially a match against someone exclusively trained in rapier. Sidesword vs. Rapier.
My background is primarily Bolognese sidesword, and I'll be using a DT6163. My heart says the longswordsman, but my head says it has to go to the rapier-wielder.

Rapier is confusing since the "true" civilian rapier had a very different blade from Mair's rappier, Marozzo's sword, or Silver's short sword - and they were all … As everyone has already mentioned, the longsword is indeed a stronger weapon.
That's because it's actually meant to be used with two hands. It is a continuation of the medieval arming sword, and the immediate predecessor (or early form) of the rapier of the Early Modern period.
Reminds me of the Espada Ropera replica Dave Baker made for the Cortés episode of Deadliest Warrior. Equipment for Historical European Martial Arts
Roughly, the difference is this: a rapier system prefers to thrust, and only cuts when thrusts are impossible; a sidesword system is equally happy or cut or thrust.
The geometrically based systems (Agrippa and on, basically) are rapiers, while the traditional systems are sidesword. My local SCA group does a nice mix of rapier and cut and thrust, but I'd like to get something rapier legal.
Which do you like more?
Anyway, I figured I'd skew the line, but in case anyone has specific sidesword vs. rapier tactics, I'd love to hear them.
