Spears have been used as weapons for thousands of years and have played a crucial role in many historical battles. While there are countless spears that have been used throughout history, here are the top 5 deadliest spears of all time that you may not have heard of:

The Pilum: This spear was used by the Roman legions and was designed to penetrate shields and armor. Its long, thin point was designed to bend on impact, making it difficult to remove from a wound and causing more damage.

The Falarica: This spear was used by the ancient Dacians and was known for its incredible sharpness. Its leaf-shaped head was designed to penetrate armor and inflict maximum damage.

The Ahlspiess: This German spear was used during the 16th century and was designed to be a versatile weapon. Its triangular blade was perfect for thrusting, while the spike on the back was used for hooking and disarming opponents.

The Yari: This Japanese spear was used by samurai warriors and was known for its length and versatility. Its blade was sharp and could be used for thrusting and slicing, while its long handle allowed for greater reach.

The Assegai: This spear was used by the Zulu warriors of Southern Africa and was designed for both hunting and warfare. Its long, slender blade was perfect for thrusting, while its wooden shaft was light and easy to maneuver.

Zulu spear is a great (super short) spear for using with a shield!

Medieval European spears are not meant to cut. They're almost always strictly thrusting weapons. In fact, just like certain swords and daggers, they oftentimes don't even have any cutting edges at all. This show has the potential to mislead A LOT of people about the nature of certain historical bladed weapons!

The Zande spear can harvest out the victim's organs due to the design.

The second kill-test isn't valid. The grip in 7:18 is completly different. His right thumb is pointing to the left. It's a powerful stab, like a two handed dagger. The Spear of the next
contender in 8:17 is being hold differently. The right thumb is positioned left, which has definitly another (mostly lower) force behind it, since the right arm is really twisted.
