The Hunting Spear is a short spear fit with a tin bronze or, more commonly in the modern day, a wrought iron or steel spearpoint. It is usually about 1.5 metres long and is optimised for throwing rather than thrusting but can do both. These spears resemble traditional Aboriginal spears the most, and often times the only true difference is in their intended use.

Stand Fast - Melee Polearms
Polearms are the weapon of choice for the disciplined warrior fighting in formation. For thousands of years, they had been the dominating force of the battlefield, and were only evenutally bested by the gun.
EFFECT:
Polearms negate an enemy's bonuses when performing a Charge (2 AP), instead allowing their wielder to immediately Counterattack (0 AP) the charger.
Additionally, they possess greater reach, capable of hitting targets at Close Range (when using real distances, this distance is reduced to 5m).
This greater reach extends to Overwatch (1 AP) and to their charge counter; the Counterattack (0 AP) takes place at the polearm's range and not at the enemy's.

This weapon carries the spirit of our oldest human ancestors. It is as deadly in close combat as it is at a small distance.

Thrown weapons can be retrieved indefinitely by anyone unless the GM states otherwise.
