Did you know that in the middle ages most infantry used spears as their main weapons, while their swords were only used as backup weapons. Yes, pointed sticks were considered better than swords. And a staff is just a spear without a pointy tip so it’s less lethal. Of course if we want to talk about the best weapons, then no melee weapons would even be considered, as bows and later guns completely decimate anything that you have to hold onto and thwack your opponent with.

Don’t believe everything you read in the history books.
