It only takes a few minutes to pull the wedges and swap out a wooden handle. Now you've got a long stick and a metal head. Sure, a head designed for fighting would work better, but don't be surprised to find that the local blacksmith converted a whole bunch of his stock of tools into passable weapons overnight once he became aware of the threat. | |

| Nov 23, 2015 at 19:56 | comment | added | DaaaahWhoosh | I just meant that everyday hammers wouldn't be very useful against enemies wielding almost any other weapon. I'd rather have a big stick, so I can at least defend myself, rather than trying to get myself stabbed in mid-bludgeon; that said, your edits are constructive, and I think the spirit of your point is sound. | |

| Nov 23, 2015 at 19:38 | comment | added | PipperChip | @DaaaahWhoosh You gotta get those wooden pegs in somehow. Hammers were common to many trades. Most people even have hammers nowadays, and most of us are not carpenters, masons, or blacksmiths. I though this was obvious, but I'll add links. | |
| Nov 23, 2015 at 19:35 | comment | added | DaaaahWhoosh | Great points for the most part, but do you have any data to back up your claim that hammers are common? I don't think warhammers were anywhere near as widespread as things like maces or axes, and all other hammers are pretty ill-suited to warfare. | |
