👉 The bar weapon, also known as the broadsword or the machete, is a versatile and historically significant weapon characterized by its long, narrow blade typically made of steel, often with a curved or straight edge. It is usually wielded as a thrusting weapon but can also be used for slashing attacks, making it effective in both close-quarters combat and as a tool for clearing obstacles. Bar weapons were prevalent during the Middle Ages and earlier periods, particularly among infantry and cavalry units. Their design allowed for a balance between reach and maneuverability, enabling users to engage enemies from various distances while maintaining the ability to perform quick, powerful strikes.
