Melee weapons general

This is the cheap imitation I actually own. Sturdy enough for a couple of whacks though. Gonna put some baseball bat rubber grip on it though.

Why maces? Swords are typically better and more lethal against unarmored soldiers, no?

Maces are simple as fuck, you actually have to know how to use a sword and where to stab.

>>31938771
Swords are more lethal, but that doesn't necessarily mean they stop someone faster.

You can stab a guy clean through, but there might be enough life in him to kill you in the process. You get a good shot to the head, dude is going out.

Maces and clubs are still plenty good enough to kill people, don't know how people get this RPG like mindset where blunt force trauma is useless unless the guy's wearing armor.

Becusae OP can't make sword in his basement.

Fan fact: sailors in the Navies were armed with swords (cutlasses) not maces, axes or sticks. And most sailors had no sword training at all.

Melee weapon of choice

>>31937985
Ants

>>31938875
I don't buy it. Most swords are cutting weapons and unless you fuck up the edge alignment, it'll do more damage than a mace (even then, it'll be about even).
>>31939050
Stabbing doesn't have as much stopping power. Cutting has more than hitting with a blunt object, almost always.

>>31939338
I guess it was because it's easier to cut ropes with a cutlass than with a club or a mace

>>31940077
Except you cut rope with, you know, a knife, not your fucking cutlass.

Where get

>>31937985

>that doorstop mace

Fuck. That'd be pretty dangerous for a few swings until the spring gets stretched out or tangled up in something

and only drunk scotsmen swing stick grenades in melee you silly shit

r8 my mace

>>31940346

better have some scrumpy to go with that.

I just realized you could probably take a small oil filter, paint it, and make a convincing looking fake stick grenade and use it to scare the shit out of someone.

>>31940430
Do normal people even know what a stick grenade is?

>>31940636

Probably not, but it'd probably make for a half decent bludgeon all the same

Got my nugget bayonet, a cheap machete, and enough knives to make a DeviantArt OC laying around in various places.

Also the classic aluminum bat behind the door.

Yeah but you don't go boarding other ships with your knife in hand

>>31939338
Fun fact: Next to the spear a club was a more common weapon than the sword

A sober person would throw it.
