spears

Spears are long, pointed weapons used primarily for thrusting or throwing. They consist of a shaft, usually made of wood or metal, and a pointed tip, often made of sharpened metal or stone. Historically, spears have been used by various cultures for hunting and warfare. Their design allows for effective reach and can be adapted for different combat styles. In addition to their practical use, spears have cultural significance in many societies, often featured in rituals, ceremonies, and as symbols of power. The spear remains a fundamental tool in martial arts and sports, such as javelin throwing.
