I have a sledge hammer made out of a construction rod cable and metal head part. The handle is covered by some hard rubber.

It weights about 17 pounds.

When I swing it for fun, although I can swing it in a pretty fast and controlled motion, and with the "right moves" ^_^, the recovery time to land another blow into the air takes me 2 seconds of unprotected motion from the side I swung it from. I can tell it would do a bitch of damage, over a large area. But it's not viable for war, my guess.

@ajko000 Nah, warhammers would never get much bigger than what you see here, and most were single-hand affairs. Pollaxes were used with two hands, and they had a great big spike on top, but otherwise, the size here is about right.

@Supermassively Did i say it wouldn't hurt? Maybe you should reread what previous comment...

[Supermassively]

@dohboiii We'll let you get hit with it in 3mm steel armor and thick padding. You'll regret it.

@SuperSmashyfication How would that break ribs o.0 It hardly dents the 3mm steel... And when knights wore armor, they also wore thick padding underneath.

[SuperSmashyfication]

If that 3mm steel was a breastplate then there's some broken ribs. If it was a helm, he's out cold and will die in a few minutes. Nice weapon, and actually about the right size for such a thing. The only thing missing is a bit of iron cladding around the top of the haft, just to keep it in one piece (you wouldn't believe how many hammers just snap when you hit ANYTHING too hard).
