3. Shotel
This sword-resembling weapon was born in ancient Ethiopia and was difficult to use because of its shape. While at first shotel was popular in use, Ethiopians and later Europeans understood that shotel doesn’t only take a long time to master, but that also in most situations is ineffective in close ranges battles because it is too long.
The only good point about this weapon is that its shape made it hard for enemies to block with shields and other close range weapons.
