The shapes of the mod's current warhammers are all insensible too. Preach it. This has been something that's been getting under my skin for a while. They all look like Thor's hammer, or something! A warhammer's function is not to smack a flat brick of metal against an opponent: warhammers usually had a spike or small head, so that the force and mass behind the blow would be concentrated in a single point, hence their historical use against armoured opponents.

On a similar note, the only battleaxes in the Mod that are realistic are Dale's, Rohan's and the Black Uruk axe. See the pattern? These are the ones that aren't double-bitted, or double-bladed if you prefer. There is no point in having two blades on either side of an axe. Double-bitted axes were never used as anything but ceremonial or ornamental pieces.
