	A pole weapon or polearm is a close combat weapon with the main fighting part of the weapon placed on the end of a long shaft, typically of wood. The use of pole weapons is very old, and the first spears date to the stone age. The purpose of using pole weapons is to either increase angular momentum, and thus striking power, when the weapon is swung, or extending reach. When the shaft is made out of certain materials, such as bamboo, it can bend and vibrate, allowing the head to hit behind a block, or could be used to confuse the enemy with a circular oscillation, obtained by a snap of the leading wrist, combined with a straight thrust. Pole weapons are relatively cheap and simple to make, and they were fairly easy for most people to use effectively as they were often derived from hunting or agricultural tools.
