#but meta knight still called him mace because he didnt want him to have a warrior cats name

[borbology]

his ass is NOT wielding a mace (autism rant)

He is wielding a decapitated morningstar on a chain. Do you understand? It has no accuracy. It is cumbersome. The amount of time in-between attacks would be immense. I don't know how much clearer I can make this. THIS IS NOT A MACE

THESE are maces!

A mace has flanges or bumps to inflict blunt force damage through armor. It's existed since the paleolithic era and is humanity's favorite bludgeoning weapon.

A MORNINGSTAR is similar to a mace but has spikes on it meant to direct the force onto points, increasing damage. It was invented in the 14th century and was used by knights.

THIS RIGHT HERE LADS

THIS is a flail; a pussywhipped version of the morningstar. The military flail came about in the 10th century and actually had no spikes. It was called a kisten. But evidence and knowledge of flails depicted as it is here is minimal. Either way, flinging the end of what is supposed to be a blunt force weapon on a chain is an impractical peasent tactic that sacrifices accuracy without any real benefits aside from looking more intimidating. It is the nunchucks of medieval weapons.
