Nine if you consider stabs

@Tato Halberds are spears with a choppy bit you nig

halberds are fucking tin can openers

they are more offensive retard

Stabbing is really bad to do in sword fighting

halberds are designed to be used in conjunction with other weapons

spears are longer than helberds with bigger thrust potential

@Reprehensibletrash depends on the sword

whip a Roman legionnaire

rapier dueling is all about stabbing

then its a pike you mong

gladii are only good for stabbing

its not u nigger

whip a Swiss pikeman

@Tato So you've done two bouts of HEMA with a spear and one with a halberd and because the plastic spear was better you concluded that historically spears were better too? <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

sword and shield stabbing is very good

and thats getting so strategic that u need to specify a scenario

stabbing kinda sucks with a longsword

but at least you have rangle

whip a samurai

otherwise ill just say balista is best weapon

Indeed, but you put a rapier against my choice weapon, and the rapier will have no defenses. I'll get stabbed, they'll get hacked

Gottem <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

historically spears were better

you have to consider period

no

spears are most effective and simplest of mele weapons on open field

if rapiers are a thing

so are pistols

they were more used because much easier to manufacture/train in

and he can sidearm murder you

Indeed

how do u see halberd takaing on spear

if you want to take function with aesthetic tho

go ahead explain ur reasoning

what is each person wearing

a cuirassier i think

where are they fighting

how many people are there

is the height of the gunpowder era aesthetic

But, I'm a celt. So if I'm fighting, chances are I'm going to get shot
