Well , personally speaking I can't say that I totally disagree with you on that point .
There are many exceptions though showing a high degree of craftsmanship and design .

One must admit to the efficacy of the Kaskara as it was one of the major weapons used to break the much vaunted British Square during the war in the Sudan against the Mahdists .
