BUY the Spear from United Cutlery! bit.ly/48NECVT

[@TheCaniblcat]

suggestion: place some soft wood 2x4's over the concrete (grain in line with the attacker) and then Boromir over the wood. That will help keep your weapons from being mangled when they miss Boromir.

[@michaelmason4709]

Any information on where the hewing spear came from? I've seen it in a few videos, but I don't think the manufacturer is ever mentioned.

[@lunchtime2960]

Video idea, prison shanks vs magazine armor.

[@williwonti]

Try putting a moving blanket or two around the base o Boro' to protect against concrete encounters

[@anderporascu5026]

I want one! Spears are awesome.

[@Vedues]

We all know it really depends on if the spear is being used by the main character or against the main character. Remember, spears are only lethal to a main character if sad music is playing.

[@B0BBY-303]

"Remember, spears are only lethal to a main character if sad music is playing." Flashbacks to EoE.

Spears are underrated in current media which is both a shame and ridiculous. Spears are my favourite weapon and have been a primary weapon of war until the inception of firearms such as the Flintlock. Which can have a bayonet attached so still implementing it as a polearm weapon 😮‍💨

[@xxxlonewolf49]

Bows, then spears

Glad theres more people out there who feel the same way as me about this. Lol Maybe some day spears will get the appreciation they deserve.

[@william3791]

dunno about that also, maybe because arthurian legends and the excalibur is the most prevalent myth in the west?? but in asia mainly chinese most legends uses spear. but yea chinese legend are not so known than japanese ones. even deitified general in chinese culture are using a pole weapon...guan yu and his guandao

[@horikthrumhjarta5182]

It's the M48 Magnum. I have one myself and it's only weakness is the brass screw that holds it together. Easily fixed with epoxy. Been using extensively for a year without an issue. Does not have the black coat on the blade anymore i've used it so much. Edge is completely gone, which just needs to be sharpened, but it still throws and pierces fantastically. Only thing i'd change is making the head thinner.

I LOVE cutting spears. Don’t know a ton about European cutting pole arms but the Japanese Naginata is one of my all time fav weapons and have 2 😂

[@diggyrobinson5859]

Europe has some of the better known slashing polearms, Italian billhook, halberd, glaive, warscythe, etc

[@adambielen8996]

A Naginata is more equivalent to a European Glaive. The Yari is the Japanese spear, and there are cutting versions of it.

[@Watari_toppa]

The old Japanese martial art Saburi-ryu uses a spear with a 63 cm blade and a hook. The main attack is a slash, but the manual does not recommend slashing the skull with a spear with a blade over 30 cm in length because the blade is damaged. Is it impossible to strike a helmet or plate armor? The Kuroda kashin den describes Tomonobu Mori slashing across Ming and Yi Dynasty soldiers with the Nihon-go, a spear with a blade length of 79 cm, but did he avoid striking the helmet? (However, the neck part of the helmet is made of brigandine or scales, so could he have been slashing it?) Some of their armor has a mirror plate on the chest, but if cut here with a spear, the blade might break.

[@thegoose5294]

The Chinese also have those, like the Sha, which are swordstaff and the Guandao and Pudao

[@RoseKindred]

I mean, the answer will always be technically yes, but not guaranteed. Still, nice demonstrations.

Spears weren't just about poking things. They could also be used like a staff, but with a pointy blade on one end so you could cut and bludgeon with them.

[@gijoe41688]

its a stick... but better

[@EnsignRedshirtRicky]

It is a VERY pointy stick.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

[@raumograeywolf5477]

It's got a pointy end. Better than just if ya hardened the tip in fire, after sharpening that one end, lol

[@Sir_corvo]

the get good bro hit diffrent XD

[@AllTheOthers]

Depends on the type of spearhead and whose using it! But in all seriousness yes. It's a polearm! Maybe not clean through, but you might as well consider it an axe when it's being swung like one.

[@mansfieldtime]

Haven't had internet for a week, I have quite a few videos to catch up on. So starting with this is perfect.

[@derekstein6193]

I think they should call the hewing spear "Jackman". Edit: Nevermind. RIP, hewing spear Jackman.

[@ranndomundead9112]

yall need one of those big leaf blade spears with the shorter handles

[@procow2274]

A spear shaft can only bend so far 🧐

[@EpicRandomness555]

In one of my books I gave one of my characters a weapon that’s somewhere between a spear and a swordstaff. Like a swordstaff with a short sword blade instead of an arming sword. And I have wondered how good of a weapon it would actually be.

[@user-yy5xs6xj7r]

So, similar to a partizan or a Norse atgeir?

Was there ever anyone saying spears couldn’t cut? or was this just an excuse for Nate and Tyranth to muck around with spears lol

[@SoReyesguy1294]

Perhaps you guys can use thick rubber tiles to use under Boromir instead of concrete. It’ll preserve weapons better in case you decide to throw them and there’s a very low miss.

[@ghostbeetle2950]

Absolute recommendation for "Seirei no Moribito" if you're looking for an anime - with a spear-wielding protagonist - that is not just gorgeous, and has great fights! but is also narratively rich. It's a fantasy story, but with a very historical Samurai/Ronin esthetic, slow-paced, detailed, poetic and believable. No super-power level-ups, just real sweat and blood, human tactics, wit, and death. Ok, I'll stop now.

[@mandowarrior123]

Female sweat, if that makes any difference.

[@ghostbeetle2950]

Nice vid. I love the end part with the "Adventurer Enemy". I hope you will show that more with other weapons' as it shows what would happen to a Limb it struck with these weapons. If you do not want to do it this way a plaster bone in ballistic gel may work also to show limb effect.

I have that M48 spear. Fantastic spear. Snapped the screw holding it together and fixed it with epoxy. Zero issues since and it doesn't even have the black on the blade anymore i've used it so much.

[@garrettruggiero7071]

it'd be quite interesting to compare the United Cutlery spear, to a smaller counterpart, the Reapr brand short spear. I have one myself and it has a similarly chunky blade, and dense shaft but feels pretty darn light. curious to see how a smaller spear with the same materials and blade size would perform.

The hewing spear reminds me of the menavlion from mount and blade, which for this of you who have played it and have been one shot with it, you know how devastating these weapons would be.

[@derskalde4973]

7:30 min Nate throwing like that reminded me of something. If I remember correctly, it is said in the Legend of Cu Chulainn, that his legendary spear, the Gae Bolg, can only be "thrown" by gripping it between your first and second toe, so you throw it with your foot? Also, you could only throw it, while you're in the water. I'd be kinda interested, if this can actually be done, or if that is just a story.

[@werewolf74]

Until some video I saw I never thought of a spear, as basically, a sword on a stick. And it really changed my perception. Being a spear usually has a round handle maybe there are indexing issues.
