Main Issue:
The Dragon Slayer is one of the most importants calcs of Berserk as it basis of Gut's LS and AP. Originally, @Viott calculated the Dragon Slayer to be 258 kg (568.7926 lbs), but seeing the calculation with fresh eyes I noticed a few errors. The full debunk is in the blog, but I will summarize the points.
My method for finding the new weight of the Dragon Slayer looks complicated, but its actually pretty simple. I used a trapezoidal pyramid to find the bulk of the weight. Then, I used a frustum of a pyramid to find the tip of the Dragon Slayer ( a frustum is just a fancy way of saying a pyramid with the top chopped, I fully explain this is in the blog) and re-used this method to find the "fins" of the Dragon Slayer. Finding the volume of the Crossguard, Handle, and Pommel is pretty self-explanatory just very tedious.
I also recalculated the AP of Guts using the new weight. I should note this isn't calc-stacking. The Dragon Slayer is Gut's main way of attacking and in all the calcs he is using the Dragon Slayer is some way.
I also put @ElJoaki5's yet unevaluated recalc of Gut's Preventing Lightning Strike. This is if the recalc is approved, and it can be used to find Guts' AP instead.
Finally, Viott looked over the calculations and agreed that he miscalculated and and thinks that the Recalc looks good.
TL;DR: The Dragon Slayer calc is outdated and this should be used in future calcs instead.

- Viott used Gut’s Head Height when insted he measured Face Height
- He used a panel chapter 373 which is after the original author's death. This means, the art likely does not reflect the original author's Artistic Vision.
- The panel is a dream seuquence, makinng it unreliable
- He used the length of the Crossguard which inflates the measurements.
- He didn’t source any of his claims for Gut’s height
- He found the Total Volume of Dragon Slayer by finding the sum of a Triangular Prism and a Trapezoid Prism. However, both of these assume that the base of the object is rectangular. Dragon Slayer’s base is not rectangular but hexagonal
- He forgot to include the handle, pommel, and crossguard.
