Neat. Like Severian's executioner sword in "Shadow of the Torturer", by Gene Wolfe.

> but the head is filled with mercury.

so a metal with eats through the copper-silver alloy brazing that welds each part together, leeches into the other metals, forming amalgams which decay and disintegrate?

that's not going to last long.

And why would this shot be any more useful than a regular mace

A can of mace, but the can is filled with nutmeg.

Why? What would that even achieve that a normal flanged mace couldn't?

I would opt for an osmium mace with titanium albative cover. Much more heavier and tougher.

I guess it sounded more impressive then it actualy is. See >>34353209, he deserves a (You) or two.

For a sword this could work, but for a mace its rather stupid, unless the mercury container spans the entire weapon, not just the head. Because if the container is filled, you might as well use a regular metal to add weight to the head. If you put in less so it will get you extra leverage, you can only add so little its not worth the effort. Also the center of mass shifting as you swing it would be nasty to get used to, every different direction from which you start a swing has a different center of mass. You would require a lot of extra training with the weapon before you can use it well.

In the book of the new sun they have an executioner sword that has a mercury reservoir to aid its action. That seems like a more practical application
