Topic	I'm so disappointed in real life halberds
TigerTycoon 03/22/21 12:28:34 AM #14:	Zareth posted... Did anyone actually use a halberd in actual combat? I thought they were just things guards held in medieval times to discourage people from fucking around. Halberds and pole arms were weapons of war, not things you held on a daily basis. But unlike fantasy weapons, real life weapons are much smaller and thinner, so they could actually be held and used instead of being a giant weight nobody could actually use. Sword were more analogous to modern handguns, people carried them around because they were a convenient to have at all times side arm, not because they were deemed more effective than other weapons. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! <cite>TigerTycoon posted [p:951971833] in I'm so dis...
