Future Raph with a massive Warhammer because as much as I love the sais, the idea of him destroying enemies with a weapon as large as he is would be SO awesome

The sword of the day is the war hammer.

Hammers are a common weapon on battlefields across the world. The weapon we’re discussing today, though, is the European war hammer. This weapon gained a huge amount of popularity in the late medieval period, as a direct result of advancements in armor. There are generally two ways to deal with a set of plate; either you can apply blunt-force trauma, or you can use a reinforced point to pierce it. The European warhammer offers both of these options, making it about the best anti-armor weapon on the battlefield. They tended to be much smaller than they are generally depicted as in fantasy media like D&D, since a weapon that can’t be used quickly isn’t particularly useful.
