The Iron-Flanged Mace is a bludgeoning staff weapon. It was the Close-Range weapon of the Mongol.
Description
The mace consisted of a flanged head on the end of a long handle. The more intricate the design, the more prestigious the man wielding it would have been,
Uses
The flanges concentrated the force of the blow on a smaller area, giving it more power. It would have been used from horseback or on foot, with the former having a longer handle. The bludgeoning force of the weapon was strong enough to kill a helmeted opponent due to a broken neck when it struck the helmet. In the show the Iron-Flanged Mace shattered one ballistics gel skull and two synthetic bone skulls in 16 seconds, with a force of over 300 psi.
