'm very confused going in to this bc the only thing i every thought about maces was that if you ring someone's bell with a big sharp metal club they will fall over and stop being a problem. I can't imagine what complexity there is with maces, very curious what this guy will say.

Reporting back; I agree, hitting people with a big slab of metal is a good fighting way.
