Is an epee a rapier sword

An epee is a type of fencing sword used in the sport of fencing. It is a long, slender sword with a three-sided blade. Epees are used for thrusting, and they are not designed for cutting. Rapiers, on the other hand, are a type of sword that was used in the 16th and 17th centuries. They are characterized by their long, slender blades and their complex hilts. Rapiers were used for both thrusting and cutting.
