MAULS AS WEAPONS Like many tools and farm implements throughout history, mauls were also adapted into Weapon s by Military Conscript s from the Peasant ry when the need arose. When reinforced, one could convert a maul into a type of Warhammer ; modified mauls often sported metal banding Rivet ed round the head. In some cases, spikes or wooden shards were affixed to each face of the hammer to enhance its destructive potential. Because of their great weight, mauls modified for battle required two hands to wield. |
