	'''Blunt weapons''', or '''bludgeoning weapons''',<ref name="AC2 guide">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Official Game Guide]]''</ref> are a class of melee weapons designed to inflict damage through blunt force trauma rather than through piercing or slicing. They are characterized by a general lack of sharp edges–though flanged variants exist–serving to crush targets with such force that bones may even be fractured. Most commonly, weapons that fall under this category include medium weapons such as ~~maces~~, ~~clubs~~, and war ~~hammers~~. Tools not intended for use as weapons but [[improvised weapons\|improvised]] in such a capacity can qualify as blunt weapons in practice if the end used to inflict injury is dull.

	Throughout history, blunt weapons have been utilized in warfare, seeing service with city [[~~guards~~]] ~~and field soldiers~~ alike. They were also employed, to a lesser extent, by ~~the~~ members of the [[Assassins\|Assassin Brotherhood]] ~~which~~ generally preferred the sword as standard equipment instead. As with their bladed counterparts~~, [[swords]]~~, maces and war hammers were gradually phased out with the advent of firearm technology. Nevertheless, just as the case with shorter bladed weapons (i.e. knives), they persist as the standard equipment of many police and security officers in the form of batons.

	Much like [[swords]], blunt weapons possess long reach, great power, and a quick attack rate, though not as much as [[long ~~weapons~~]], [[heavy ~~weapons~~]], and [[short ~~blades~~]] respectively, and are among the more balanced of melee weapons.

	==Description==		==Description==
	As ~~its~~ name suggests, blunt weapons are, in the simplest terms, weapons that are blunt, lacking sharp edges with which injury can be inflicted through cutting or piercing—at least in hindsight. Technically, however, blunt weapons do not have to be entirely devoid of sharp points, a prominent example being the [[Flanged Mace\|flanged mace]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref> Sophisticated blunt weapons, including the [[Iron Blade War Club\|iron blade war club]] may even be bladed or possess keen edges to augment their deadliness.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref> As a result, they can perhaps more accurately be described as weapons designed for crushing rather than thrusting or slashing attacks.

	As the most basic form of weaponry, blunt weapons have been universally utilized as weapons for the entirety of human history.
