Blunt weapon
Blunt weapons were weapons used by those who wished to inflict bone-breaking damage against opponents. They were commonly wielded by guards and members of the Assassin Order.
Blunt weapons, much like swords, possessed long reach, great power, and a quick attack rate. As such, they could be seen as some of the most balanced weapons available.
History
Blunt weapons have been a highly common and frequently used selection of weaponry in the art of warfare, and have seen action in the millennia-long Assassin-Templar War. The earliest known use of blunt weapons by the Assassins was during the early 13th century, by the Levantine Assassins of Masyaf.[1]
