👉 A disk weapon, also known as a disk lance or disk spear, is a type of ranged weapon that combines the functionality of a spear and a disc. It typically consists of a long, flexible shaft with a flat, circular or oval-shaped metal or plastic disk attached to one end. The disk can be used for various purposes, including throwing as a projectile or being swung like a club to deliver powerful strikes. The design allows for both thrusting and throwing, making it versatile in combat situations. Disk weapons are often used in historical contexts, particularly in medieval and ancient warfare, but modern iterations may be found in various martial arts and self-defense practices for their unique combination of reach, power, and maneuverability.
