A variety of Armets, helmets worn in the 1400's
Adaga, a moorish weapon
That looks absolutely retarded and ineffectual. What's wrong with just having a spear?
Ancus, indian elephant pokers which could be mounted on a shaft for those on the ground not the elephants
It's a parrying buckler that can be used for offense , doofus.
Moors were always so dope, too bad their descendants are shit.
1500's turkish armour, mail used instead of plate due to the heat of the Near East compared to Western Europe
Moro armour, no date given but the US did face people armoured like this.
The Moro are the islamic natives of the phillipines who converted due to trade, Mughal 'Four Mirror Armour' may or may not have inspired it.
Moro armour may or may not have inspired Stannis Baratheon's armour in GoT
Variety of arrows from everywhere we now call Asia, no explanation given for arrow no. 34 I would assume the centre part acts as a barb whilst the other two pierce, but we're past the age of mail so not sure
African and American arrows
31 is French and British Guiana rather than the place in the old world called Guiana
...
Saxon miner's axe is obviously a ceremonial thing, whilst the polish axe seems more like something for horseback
this is my favourite set of armour, because there's plate with the mail filling the holes, and then the salet is 10/10 aesthetically
...
Sacrifical 'axes', I would call the first two more knives, whilst the others more like a copesh, or concave falcata
Yes.
A variety of Frog's helm and bascinets, 3 is armour for the horse there was not some madman wearing it to scare his opponent
Berdiche or Bardiche, common in Rus among foot soldiers, letting you stab and slash, re-attach to the shaft is to block an enemy's bardiche
Indian claw/daggers
Malaysian Axes, no idea why they're so different
Bills, not just English but also Turkish
The definition of cannons in Elizabthean and Jacobite england
Somehow reminds me of a fast-food menu
Catchpoles, devices which would capture brigands and other Disturbers of the Peace, by closing around the neck of the perpetrator
Winged spears, the wings prevent the spear going too deep and thus disarming yourself
nice OP
'Chauves Souris' bats in english , Italian winged spears or possibly Corseque
Chilanums, indian daggers
Cinqueda, more ceremonial among the italian city states than a practical weapon due to it's rapidly increasing width as all Lindybeige watchers should know

Guisarms and half halberds it seems
A variety of halberds from 1450-1550
Variety of warhammer, no.4 is another hammer + gun
Phillipino axes
Jarids, javelins the moors would use
Katars, 15, 5, 7, and 9 would have had some padding around the grip.
The ones with one bar going across had a chance to slip whilst two bars like 29 and 23 would have stayed straight when stabbing
...
Indonesian swords
...
Scottish Pole-axes
Variety of maces, no.6 looks like a bull, no.11 looks kinda ceremonial
military forks, no.5 and 2 look like halberds, whilst 10 also gives a chop as well as a stab
Variety of Morions, no.2 has a nice fleur de lis, 6 would have been nice for tudour tercos in an alt his
Partisan polearms
