coloured spearhead
#16
I always thought that the 'wings' on winged spearheads were there to allow the user to parry his opponent's thrusts more easily in an age when the spear was still the preferred and primary weapon.
I think it would be something of a fool's game to thrust a spear that far into a body. Would you be able to pull it out again and bring it to bear before an opponent skewered you?
