I would hardly say a scythe or sickle was, is, or ever will be, referred to as a real-life weapon. Both have the huge issue that the blade will get stuck in your opponent almost instantly, and it will be quite hard to get out. That's not to mention the wide arc of the swing, making it impossible to use in any type of formation, and the fact that they're intended to cut grass, not bone.

So while they can be deadly, using them as a weapon for anything else except as a last resort self-defense is completly ridiculous. If you want a farmer's tool that could actually be an effective weapon, take an axe.
