Military weapons, as a tool to conduct combat, has always been designed and developed to provide as much as possible advantage to its user compared to the opponent with whom he is supposed to fight. Such weapon had to effectively penetrate or in some other way eliminate opponents defense, and prevent him to continue fighting, where a large attention was given to lethality, but also to physiological effect that the application of the weapon has on the opponent.

Since human imagination practically has no limits, military history is full of different examples of weapons, very unusual ones (even bizarre) in appearance, shape and dimensions, which were purposely built. First unusual weapons were intended to face to face combat and those were mostly devices to increase punching force, at the same time protecting the hand from injuries, where the role models for its production were wild animals (claws and teeth of various predators). Sometimes a great role was played by ingenuity and cunning that had the purpose to surprise the opponent. This is one of those aces in hand on which every side counts on.
