The mace can be found here (Only available in black, I stripped it back to bare steel):

And we know this is true because we can see the enemy, absolutely terrified, fleeing the battlefield behind you.

swordmen: "my sword just keeps bouncing off their armor i cant cut them"
Mace wielders: "my mace keeps bouncing of their helmet, this is optimal"

"PHYSICS!"
*Bashes skull in.*

After so many cartoonishly huge maces in videogames and movies, its great to get a reminder of the real deal. For being so brutal it looks almost elegant.

As a proud mace supporter I am glad to see some positive rep for the best weapon

[charless]

It's even more deadly when you circle around your opponent and strike them with your shield down

A sword is feared by those without amour, a mace is feared by those with it and without

Now I understand Sauron's choice of weapon

Without glasses Clark is truly undistinguishable.

War hammers come to mind too. Most of them don't actually like full on sledge hammers like most fantasy art depicts them as.

The flanged mace is honestly underrated, sure it's not as flashy or technical like a sword. But there's something to just wailing at your hated enemy until they no longer are your enemy.

Which makes a very long heavy hammer even more terrifying

[christophernoneya]

If you have 2 pounds 3 feet away, that creates a torque of 6 lb-f, so that 2 pounds has the same desire to swing as if it were 6.

A-mace-ing content!

yeah, it works.

I didn’t believe this so I checked you out. “One of the most effective weapons in armored battle” free schooling, thanks.

When I was 15 this one guy a few years older than me talked how if he was in zombie apocalypse he would swing a 65 pound 2 handed war mace. He was about 130 lbs.

The club: "Who are you?"
The mace: "I'm you, but better."

[benjaminabbott]

A number of extant Renaissance calvary maces are surprisingly heavy at 3.5-4+lbs. It's possible some or all of these were more symbols of rank than weapons, but there are quite few in museum collections of that weight. Of course, there are also some 15th-century cavalry maces under 2lbs. Historical soldiers may have had a range of preferences in terms of weight.
