3-4 pounds...
and pole arms are primarily stabbing weapons,... more reach and all that. You could use it to bludgeon, but you know.
uhm... from what I read on that page, 3-4 pounds didn't sound very typical
"weighing something of the order of 5-8 lbs/2.3-3.6 kg."
"Dr. Lee Jones possesses a very fine specimen of a 16th century German two-handed great sword, that this author had the privilege of exercising outdoors with, had length in excess of five feet and a weight of 7.9 pounds (3490g)"
" this author also had the privilege of examining, as weighing only a little over 8 pounds"
"The fighting two-handed sword, weighed (on average) between 5-7 lbs. I give the following three examples, randomly chosen from our own collections, which I hope are adequate to make the point:
Two-handed sword, German, c.1550 (IX.926). Weight: 7 lb 6oz.
Two-handed sword, German, dated 1529 (IX.991). Weight: 5 lb 1oz.
Two-handed sword, Scottish, mid 16th century, (IX.926). Weight: 5 lb 10oz"
"This (a much larger sword all round) still only weighs a mere 7 lbs. 4 oz."
And many more. The vast majority of the swords int he example are over 5 pounds. A few go as high as 10 pounds. That means more than 3-4.
