More impact weapons to (semi-)arbitrarily assign scores to and compare! :)
Rated by 10 criteria, although the adjusted score takes out 3 of them, leaving us with offense, defense, anti-armor capabiliy, speed, reach, versatility, and durability.

03:09 - 04:01 Adjusted score

06:04 - 09:27 Flanged mace
