Pole weapon: Spear, Glaive, Pollaxe (polearm), Halberd, Dane Axe, Monk's spade, Angular momentum, Ewart Oakeshott - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A pole weapon or polearm is a close combat weapon in which the main fighting part of the weapon is placed on the end of a long shaft, typically of wood, thereby extending the user''s effective range. Spears, glaives, poleaxes, halberds, and bardiches are all varieties of polearm. The idea of attaching a weapon onto a long shaft is an old one, as the first spears date back to the Stone Age. The purpose of using pole weapons is either to extend reach or to increase angular momentum-—and thus striking power-—when the weapon is swung. Pole weapons are relatively simple to make, and they were fairly easy for most people to use effectively as they were often derived from hunting or agricultural tools. For example, the Chinese Monk''s spade, with its shovel-like end, served two purposes for the monks who used it: if they came upon a corpse on the road, they could properly bury it with Buddhist rites; and the large implement could serve as a weapon for defending against bandits.
