5 Shastar refer to proper 5 shastar, as in a tupak, tabar, pash, tulwar, and teer kamaan, not 5 kesa wale shastar, the amount of Nihangs who keep true to this maryada is very few indeed.  This was meant to be for the times of Maharaj when the Khalsa were always in a Jang, and 5 Shastar meant that they were always tyar bar tyar.  Carrying shastar just for the sake of it is also a disregard for Khalsa Maryada, if you dont know how to use it, i wouldnt carry it.

Thanks for the clarification- I couldn't agree more. (usually) blunt dummala shastars are useless, especially without knowledge of how to make them effective! But to see someone carrying 5 real shastars, especially when it can safely be assumed they know how to use them is truly an awe-inspiring sight, even more so beacuse this is something very hard to maintain today for most of us.
