    Yeah pretty much, which is why the axe was actually used and flails as we know them are fantasy weapons. The flail has the intimidation and cool factor but otherwise I’d rather have an axe.

    The flail might have more reach, but the longer the chain the slower the weapon and more skill required to land a blow.
