Crusade+Weapons

This is a Medieval battle axe.This one, and many like it, were used to fight in the Crusades. The weapon was primarily used as a cutting weapon and capable of cutting off the limbs of an enemy in one stroke. The battle axe could be mounted on either a long shaft, measuring up to 5ft or a short shaft measuring 1ft. This Medieval weapon blade was made by a blacksmith. The materials required to make this weapon were:
 * Iron
 * Steel
 * Bronze (occasionally)
 * Wooden handle



Shown above is a mace. Maces usually have metal or wooden handles, and a large weighted metal ball at the top of the handle. The ball will always have spikes or flanks, one to two inches long. When using a mace, the weighted ball and the flanks cause the most damage depending on where you hit your enemy.



A Medieval war club, like the one shown above, was the "original" ancient weapon.Long before swords were popular, this weapon had been widely used throughout ancient cultures during war and was very effective during the ages predating full suit armor.
