    I can’t believe this stuff is just sold in cans now. Diluted to aerosol form. Shameful, really

      A mace is a tool to defeat plate armour - can still cause bludgeoning damage and concussion just by smacking it hard enough. Regular soldiers would probably be wearing mail, which can be defeated by a piercing sword, and peasants would have a gambeson at the very best, which can be defeated with slicing swords or (preferably) axes.

      No, these are weapons for killing aristocrats.
