You won't get proned out for carrying a halberd, which is always nice.

If it's a haLurue need to change the spike out with a PRI spike and drill it out a bit as when being used by Russians there is a problem with cycling it out of the sculls of the enemy. I sent mine back to the factory twice.

I saw the Nutnfancy vid where he pointed out that they had that problem. Said that "Dude, real sheep dog dudes that are in the field use the superior Kel-tec Pole-axe".

You mean that gun that was so shitty to load, fire, and protect from the elements like "moisture" that the buttstock had to double as a club and the ranks had to be protected by pikemen?

Halberd is better. He could have stabbed the guy, and then cut his head off. Decapitation isn't as easy with a spear.

I recommend an aimpoint on the halberd. The battery life is outstanding so you can leave it on all the time and just replace every 3 years.

Replace the Aimpoint, not the battery. Never know when one of those things will go bad on you.

Logic suggests that it's slightly shittier than the shitty weapon that made it obsolete.

An excellent choice for home defense!

Just don't let anyone turn the point on his shield and get inside your guard.

Plus with the halberd you can roast your meal over the campfire

Only if you don't believe the premise that the halberd was made obsolete by the arquebus.

Whatever. As OP surely intends to imply, some people prefer shitty, outdated weapons.

I enjoy the red dot I have on my cheap ATI pump which I only use for clearing my chicken coop at night.
Its the only time I feel a shot gun is of use chasing fast moving critters at night.
6s chambered followed buy 00 and slugs.

Now I just need a better mount why did they put 3/8 cut out on the receiver? Ive lost the red dot twice on the run.

Seriously. OP needs to have light on his HD weapon. I just hope he doesn't spike one of his kids or his neighbor's cat thinking a bear is attacking his home. Every HD weapon should have light mounted on it. NVG's are great but even if OP sleeps with them on they are dependent batteries and they can always fail.

On a related note, has anyone ever mounted an axe head on a maglight?

I don't even think some of you train. Why would you trust your life to a Swiss weapon like a halberd? Such a neutral country like Switzerland doesn't know how to make a proper weapon.

The Scottish, on the other hand, know how to fight, and thus make a much superior weapon. A Claymore is the only acceptable bladed HD weapon that I would trust my valuable life to.
