@Mason_Wheeler fun fact: metal spiked ball on a chain isn't a medieval weapon. It's doubtful it was ever used in warfare at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flail_(weapon) says:
Waldman (2005) documented several seemingly authentic examples of the ball-and-chain flail from private collections as well as several restored illustrations from German, French, and Czech sources. He states that the scarcity of artifacts and artistic depictions, combined with the almost complete lack of text references, suggests they were relatively rare weapons and never saw widespread use.
Flail (with long rather than round head and short connection) was certainly a common makeshift weapon as it was a common tool for threshing grains. And some certainly tried to make a variant with longer chain, just to realize a normal mace is more practical because easier to handle.
… at least they are giving the women more appropriate weapon and don't repeat the totally bogus trope of giving women bows—bow is the weapon that requires most brute strength, while flail is one of the few where dexterity can make up for lack of strength.

There's a reason why I didn't say "flail" but "metal spiked ball on a chain".

@Applied-Mediocrity You might have overestimated how well-known cepelinas are.

FWIW I hovered over the image and saw the filename was $numbers-cepelinas.jpg
The reason IDGI was I couldn't figure out what it was meant to be even so.
I suppose it's a reference to Led Zeppelin?

I'd never heard of a cepelinas. Absolutely looked like a potato to me.

I use DuckDuckGo. It doesn't have an image search function, so I would first have to go to Google, then image search, then paste the image. , especially to figure out a bad pun that will almost certainly turn out to be not worth having figured out.

I would have, but I just figured it was a bad pun.
