Default Baggara spear "shalazieh"
Hi

Those who like African weapons might be interested to see this enormous Sudanese spear, length is 10 feet. I wonder how it would be used in combat, it being so unwieldy, being more suited for use from horseback ?

Comments are welcome, also any references or if there are some comparable examples, please post them...
