👉 The head weapon, often referred to as a headguard or helmet with a weapon protruding from the top, is a defensive piece of armor designed to protect the torso and head from impacts. Typically crafted from materials like steel, leather, or chainmail, it features a prominent projectile weapon, such as a sword, dagger, or spear, that protrudes from the crest or forehead. This design not only serves to deflect incoming blows but also boosts the wearer's confidence and intimidates opponents. Historically, head weapons were crucial in close combat, offering a focal point for attackers to aim their weapons directly at the vulnerable head region.
