Axe

The axe is a very big and strong weapon used to slice through tough and deep areas. We use axes today for most likely chopping would and stuff like that. In the Hobbit they used axes to kill each other by slicing each other in a very violent way. There are many forms of weapons that are used but the axe and the pickaxe are probly the most uncommon to use. The first weapon that may come to your mind when you think "midieval battles" is sword, sheild, catapult, or bows and arrows. The axe also plays a big part in the battle. Another way they would use it was throw it like a tomahawk at the enemy and hope it stabs them.
