Long Moro Twistcore spear

LEE HAS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE PROBABLY AROUND 8 FEET LONG THAT WAS PROBABLY USED MOSTLY AS A HAND THRUSTING SPEAR WITH SHIELD. ITS BALANCE AND TAPER ALSO WOULD HAVE MADE IT A GOOD SHORT RANGE THROWING SPEAR, BUT IT WAS TOO NICE FOR ITS OWNER TO HAVE JUST THROWN IT WITHOUT WORRING ABOUT GETTING IT BACK. I SUSPECT IF THROWN THE WARRIOR WOULD BE CLOSING RAPIDLY SWORD DRAWN TO FINNISH HIS ENEMY AND RECLAIM HIS SPEAR. JUST AS LEE WOULD DO IF I TRYED TO RUN OFF WITH HIS SPEAR

IF THE MORO HAD SPEARS ONLY FOR THROWING, I SUSPECT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD SMALLER LESS ELABORATE POINTS AND SHORTER LIGHTER CANE, BAMBOO OR RATTAN SHAFTS. THE COST OF MAKEING SUCH SPEARS WOULD BE MUCH LESS AND PERHAPS SEVERAL COULD BE CARRIED AND THROWN BEFORE CLOSING IN WITH THE STRONGER HEAVIER FIGHTING SPEAR ,SHIELD AND SWORD. JUST A GUESS AS I HAVE NOT READ UP ON SPECIFIC MORO FIGHTING TECKNIQUES OR IF I DID, HAVE FORGOTTEN BY NOW
