👉 A pointed weapon, often referred to as a lance or spear with a sharpened tip, is a type of weapon characterized by its elongated, pointed end designed for thrusting or piercing. Historically, these weapons were used in combat for both offensive and defensive purposes, with the pointed tip allowing for quick, powerful strikes aimed at vital areas of the opponent's body. They were commonly wielded by warriors in various cultures, from ancient times through the Middle Ages, and their design facilitated both thrusting and, in some cases, throwing when not in direct contact with an opponent. The pointed weapon's effectiveness lies in its ability to penetrate armor and cause significant damage, making it a formidable tool in close-quarters combat.
