👉 An acute weapon, also known as a sharp weapon or point weapon, is a type of tool designed for piercing or cutting with a pointed tip. These weapons are characterized by their elongated, sharp edges or points that can inflict severe injuries upon impact. Examples include daggers, knives, spears, and thrusting weapons like the pike or halberd. Their primary function is to deliver a lethal blow, often used in close combat where the attacker aims to incapacitate or kill their opponent swiftly. The acute nature of these weapons stems from their ability to concentrate force into a small area, making them highly effective in combat scenarios.
