          Yeah isnt a mace used for anti armor? Because of the bludgeoning factor? I mean don’t get me wrong getting grazed with that would hurt but getting grazed of the sharp side of a sword would hurt more… Hmm…

          I suppose either would be pretty damn deadly when it really comes down to it if you get a solid Hit. Though not as easy to conceal as mace

            🤓

            A flanged mace is the common counter to chainmail, circa 13th-century European armored combat. A curved sword is better for unarmored or those in animal hide like leather.

            A mace (general) is a club with a head, which packs a more diffuse wallop than a bladed weapon or a spiked weapon. Spikes on a mace (such as a morning star) can help to focus and to punch through armor.

            Not to be confused with a spiked flail, in which there’s a chain between the handle and the head (a spiked ball or flanged star, like the one held by the Witch-king of Agmar) The chain helps circumvent shields, but it becomes very easy for the flailman to hit himself. Kinda like nunchaku.

            Swords need cared for, sharpened and all that.

            A metal ball on a rod is a metal ball on a length of metal that can crack bone. Ball comes off, I still got a metal rod.

              Put some little blades on the mace! They won’t stay sharp for long, but the first few Nazis you hit with it will have a really bad day

              Yeah it sounds heavy as fuck. And also like there’s a safe place to grab. I’m like a sort. There’s no safe place on a sword there’s also no safe place with chemical weapons…

              So back to Bear mace.

                Grabbing a sword to control it was more common than you think! Especially when wearing gloves, but a skilled fighter can hold on to the flat of a blade with the bare hand, and usually not get hurt

            against an unarmored opponent basically anything is a decent weapon, literally just a rock is fairly deadly, especially if you throw it accurately.

        Just have to shift from disposable mace, a spray can full of pepper spray; to a reusable mace, a long ass handle with a big fuck off spikey ball at the end

        Nonsense. Grow some good peppers, make some extract, and put it in a spray bottle. Mace can literally grow in a pot out back.

      You’d think Communists of all people would understand that macing Nazis is a community effort.

    Make sure Nazis know that you pour milk in your eyes for mace. It also works for itchy eyes and all sorts of other things. Use raw milk for best results. Only works for Nazis.

        Leftists fighting leftists would be pretty on brand, but in that case they’d both call each other fascists. So you’re probably right.
