These simple thick sticks were quickly substituted by blade weapons. However, some tribes continued to use batons as throwing weapons. Like a night stick cops use.
War Hammer- In the Middle Ages, this medieval weapon had a hammer head on one side and a spike on the other and is intended for close combat action. The design of war hammer is similar to normal hammer. The handle of hammer may be of different lengths, the longest one is equivalent to the halberd, and the shortest one is similar to mace. A swing could break bones by just force.
Spear- Not the best weapon at times. But helped for support or secondary use for balancing sides. It is a pole weapon with a pointed blade at one end. The shaft of the spear is made of plumber. It comes with various sizes and designs. Was easier to craft than most weapons!]]> 2017-05-18 02:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/501266782/sauuje7jbdqi/wish/172471829 How did the Weapons change Over Time? 501266782 https://padlet.com/501266782/sauuje7jbdqi/wish/172474041
