Massive for even a giant?
Answered by GPT 3.5
If the blade edge of the sword is 5 inches thick to us, it would likely be much larger for a giant. Since the average height of a giant is usually considered to be around 20-30 feet tall, the overall sword size would be proportionately larger.

Assuming a giant is about 20 times the size of an average human, the overall size of the shortsword would be around 100 inches (5 inches x 20) or about 8.3 feet long. This would be a massive and intimidating weapon for a giant to wield.

My apologies for the oversight. A 8.3 feet long sword would indeed be massive even for a giant, considering the proportions and weight they would have to handle. In reality, the overall size of the shortsword for a giant might not be that large.

Taking into consideration the strength and size of a giant, the shortsword would likely be around 6-7 feet in length, which would still be impressive and formidable without being overly cumbersome. Thank you for pointing that out.
