Souls games have morningstars, definitely needs more representation though. Flails, especially like those in the OP are a lot less common and it's a shame. I'd love more fist/claw weapons, though they're a bit more common than those already mentioned.

You could probably still hit yourself with that.

I wouldn't want to use a weapon that had such a large degree of flex in it, a big spiky ball on the end of some chain is just asking for you to injure yourself.

You can't easily hit yourself with it because the chain isn't long enough. You'd have to be major retard to do so. Also, it's primarily a cavalry weapon. You swing it from horseback at people below you. Infantry flails looked more like this.

Hand crafted obsidian blades were not "way sharper than a metal edge". Slightly, maybe, but even then the brittleness of the obsidian made it rather useless for practical application. You wouldn't be able to hit anything more than a few times with a Macuahuitl because all the blades would break. It was even more of a ceremonial weapon and status piece than metal swords were in europe and japan.

Your reach advantage wont last very long, you can't slash very well, trying to trip someone with a spear will fail too, and once you miss with a spear, they will run past the dangerous end and you're basically fucked at that point.

Spears are not good weapons outside formations, you're a fucking moron if you think otherwise. Even fucking spartans and romans ditched the spears if they broke the formation.

It's a well known fact obsidian is very sharp and very brittle.

But it doesn't matter what the fuck it's made out of, it's the wooden parts that will make beheading a horse fucking impossible.

You're acting like a spear is some slow piece of shit, and you're also acting like the enemy doesn't care about being hit. General rule of thumb- unless one combatant is completely fucking insane, they're both going to play it safe in a fight.

It depends on where you draw the line. As I said, rapiers are usually much longer.
During the early days of rapiers, when these weapons developed from the side-swords (pic), you might have found weapons that had a ricasso and more elaborate guards than regular arming swords, but these were also more used like regular arming swords.

As >>255945973 said, Raphael's style of fencing seems more inspired by modern sabre fencing.

From a little bit of this that I read it seems that a flails most logical use would be to swing it over an opponent using a shield. Since the chain can wrap around the shield and strike the person.

But yes it was likely not very practical and only useful for a certain tactic. Like many weapons back then and even today.

Nothing beats ROCKS.

You can get ROCKS pretty much anywhere. FOR FREE.

ROCKS have been a blunt force weapon of choice since the dawn of man.

If you're without a ROCK, there's always a ROCK close by.

The ROCK comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are even sharp!

Takes zero practice. Just grasp the ROCK firmly, and bash in the skull of your foe.

ROCK too big to pick up? Bash his skull into the ROCK.

It's actually a non-lethal grappling weapon. How it works you swat your enemy with it, they will be wary of it, and then you use your free hand to take a grip on them, and force them stomach down on your lap, and then you spank their silly bottom with it.

They're hacking weapons. A curved blade like that gives greater cutting power, while being a bit sturdier than what you would usually see with a cutlass or katana, which is important because they were generally made of shitty material (at least, compared to more modern steel)

It's because spears are cheaper to make.

It's no fucking wonder why low-trained footmen had spears, it's because they weren't good enough to have swords, the only goddamn thing they had going for them is their numbers.

>Swords and spears lasted longer than bows in warfare even though bows made them obsolete

No, bows never obsoleted swords and spears, the only goddamn reason medieval wars weren't just bowmen vs. bowmen was the fact bows required a shitload of training and were much harder to use than pointy stick and other various melee weapons.

The reason the british dominated the french in Agincourt was because King Henry V made it mandatory for british people to train with longbows from when they were old enough to fire a training bow.

And even then Bows have disadvantages that don't make them the best weapons ever.

>>255952568
>Implying I'm the retard who thinks "swords>pikes"

Yeah. Pikes fucking wrecked charging infantry, since they basically meant attacking with impunity if the other person hadn't thought to bring one. That's why they tended to bring both, jab it out with pike for a while, then go in with the swords. There were swords designed for parrying pikes to penetrate formations, but those were used IN CONJUNCTION WITH PIKE FORMATIONS.

You didn't just have a bunch of guys with swords run in and fuck up a bunch of people with pikes. You had pike formations that had a couple guys in them with giant swords whose job it was to fuck with the other guy's pikes.

obsoleted by bayonets, as mentioned.

Also, we've gone full circle in this chain, it started with someone swearing on spearing, and I said spears are useless outside formations, and lo and behold, someone argues for the spear, using a formation as an example.

Anyway, we've gone from hundred year war to Italian wars, I think it's good place to stop.
>>
>>255952890
>16th century
>Did not happen

It took a while for bayonets to develop, and that only happened after some major improvements to firearms. Before that, you had a rank of infantry with pikes defending units with primitive muskets.
>>
>>255945298
It's clear you've never actually seen someone with talent in a spear fight with one. A pike is a formation weapon. A spear can be used for anything depending on its length.

Spears and polearms are better in formations, but people actually did one on one duels with them (generally without a point)

Of course, you could say that about most weapons. One dude with a longbow does jack shit. One horseman will just get fucking prison shanked by any infantry. A single swordsman will be sodomized with spears.

I was arguing with they guy who seemed to think that the only reason to use a spear was for lack of a sword and/or the training to use one.

>Spears and polearms are better in formations, but people actually did one on one duels with them (generally without a point)

yes, but on one-on-one combat, a spear is more of a hindarance against someone using a sword for example, or anything.
>>
>>255953794
I was specifically talking about spears in a one-on-one match. No one is retarded enough to believe that swords were superior to swords in a battlefield situation. Spears give you initiative, which in an infantry fight is critical to ensuring you don't get shived in the gut by some smelly douchebag from the next village over.

>>255954027
The first bayonets didn't appear until 1670ish. Long after the conclusion of the Italian Wars. Pike and Shot was invalidated by the increasing reliability and economic costs of just raising regimented of line infantry. More firepower that way to devastate enemy formations.
>>
>>255954278
The game changes with or without armor. Without armor the spear is just as, if not more deadly because it can reach out and hit you from almost twice as far away. It gives you the alpha and forces you opponent to be defensive until he can find an opening. With armor the sword generally has a bit of an advantage because its more difficult for a spear to pierce armor than from a sword to just walk up and thump you in the head with the pommel.
>>
>>255954278
If it's just sword vs just pike, then... yeah, the swordsman has an advantage. If the pike guy also brings a sword though he's at an advantage.

Either way it's stupid, because "deadliest warrior" style matchups of "WHICH ARE TEH BETTER WEPUN" are inherently retarded.

Tank obviously wins.
Nazis had underwater tanks, but not even nazis had lad submarines.

Why did they make the Viper gay anyway?

He wasn't in the books.
>>
>>255954791
No because he's right. Although some of those tricks like tripping and shit won't work against a similarly skilled opponent and will just get you a mace in the face. Otherwise all of that stuff is accurate, but it typically isn't western spearfighting. Shit like weaponized kung-fu and what not using the spear like that is common and well trained.

Won't the axe go flying the moment she swings the sword?

Because why not? IT made no difference aside from eyecandy to the significant number of female viewers, which come to think of it is probably the whole reason why.

I don't know why I even care though, the books were shitty babby's first dark fantasy anyway.

Kusarigama, a trapping and killing weapon. Smack your opponent a few times with the ball at the end of a chain, whip it around his sword speak throw him off balance, tangle up his arms and use the sickle to go right for the throat.

I never understood how someone could use a mace. Try spinning something like a phone charger and if you try to stop it usually it'll hit your hand as it stops so with a mace it must hurt like fuck

Better yet, you have to hold R while the gun is reloading, if you let go for any reason or try to shoot while reloading the thing goes off

you can cancel the momentum and have it stop swinging at the bottom of the arc pretty easily without having to use your other hand.

The problem with that weapon seems to be that its not barbed, its like two knives glued together on each side, if you try to thrust with that weapon the force would be distributed too evenly and you would simply push the victim away rather then stab him, you may cut him a bit, but thats it.

Africans cant design weapons.
