Talk:Katzbalger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also, i've read and seen it demostrated, that a katzbalger is a shorter sword then most other arming swords, with the express purpose of having a faster draw time. The hope was that two pikeman would lock, drop their pikes and draw arming swords. The katzbalger would draw faster and thrust before his opponent had drawn.
