It is because for self defense man has risen from rocks and pointy sticks, to complex machinery made from steel, and other man-made materials. Man made or gift from the heavens Don’t …

If this is the case, then you must have stockpiles of powder, casings, primers, and projectiles. My question to you is how …

I also love striking weapons like maces, war hammers, clubs, and the morning star (like the one pictured below), just anything medieval weapon really. These are the most common names we know them by, but there are literally hundreds of forms of these types of weapons …
