I'm sorry, but I'm going to be that guy:  lot of these are either incorrectly labeled, incorrectly drawn or just flat out don't exist.

Just to pick a few:
- katanas have a curved hilt
- the scimitar are already associated with Arabs, "Arabian scimitar" is a bit redundant
- Rapiers are defined by being long and thin, not short and single-edged
- war-scythe had their head attached to a shaft so their point faced in the line of the shaft. What you have there is a weak hook at best.
- the battle axe is just bad with far too much distance between the blade and shaft
- the warhammer looks like a sledge,
- chain-mace may not have even exist
- "double-edged, double-bladed, two-handed longsword" is just flat out fantasy that never, ever existed and would not even work (it works marginally for lightsabres, not for swords). There is no real way to make a weapon like that work.

I made doodles like these too.
