To be fair, the assassin also has his blood-sense-type-thingy going for him so that he can actually hit at that range, from what I remember... Also, I'm somewhat doubtful that it could actually be made with mnedieval-ish tech. Of course, since we still don't really know the tech level of the thing in question... *shrug*
Hmm... How about a nice, businesslike longsword? After all, who needs shinyness? Simple and sharp, that's the thing. Or, if you don't mind something that's probably rather impractical for real combat but sounds vaguely cool, a mercurial longsword (sword with a channel partially full of mercury running down the center)?
