Best weapon against Lorica Segmentata?

I don't suppose you have a link to such an experiment (I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm genuinely interested) I was not aware that a haleberd was that that effective against armor. Unless you used the hook to grab on to the armor, the problem with "pick" weapons that I have seen is that you need a massive thrust to penetrate the armor, and then the tip only penetrates maybe an inch, and then is jammed in the armor
