But just a spear does

Easyier to move

This

Germanic tribes spent their entire lifes training for spear combat and romans yeeted them

@anthr0pos short sword is even easier to move with lmao

big swords aren't that heavy either

Why is it so curved

Never seen on so curved

curves are good for cutting skin

also mankn check dms

That thing is an armor breaker

They multiply the slash strenght

Its made more for piercing than cuting

Also for cutting armour

Not plate armor

swords are made straight for piercing power

You cant cut armor

That is a dacian falx

You can break it

You won't get through plate armor with a sword

And bend it

Nothing breaks late medieval plate

Unless its a gun

That's why maces exist

if the knight is being held or knocked out you can

Or a very strong crossbow

and the handle is used instead of a crossbow

mace*

You dont need to pierce the armor if you break the bones of the user

U can kill a guy with plate armour

the handle is unironically pretty good for combat.

Just gota be super skilled

And hit him between the plates

@Pelkių monstras ah the good ol blade grip

My point isnt that you cant kill him my point is that you cant cut the armor

Still a mace would be better

Also any blunt weapon can btfo plate fags

if youre grug with 2k strenght you can probably brute force it but no human is strong enough

Ye

yeah mace is better

but handle is more useful than a spear against plate
