Кстати, ударное оружие - это только булава, кистень и тому подобное. Топор - это РУБЯЩЕЕ (в крайнем случае - ударно-рубящее) оружие, и объединять его в одну категорию с булавой - не очень-то верно.

В свою очередь, ударное оружие можно разделить на цельное (типа булавы, шестопера, буздыхана) и навесное (типа кистеня, нунчаку).
В английском это - bludgeoning weapon и flailing weapon

the morning star is a bludgeoning weapon, not a flailing type think mace.It has spikes hence the name,and of course a handle with which to hit people ...

Вообще я не совсем уверена :) , а кубик нужен "пирамидой", чтобы было 4 варианта - 2 из 6 предложенных точно не подходят. Но приходят напоминалки, нужно выбирать. Текст мне сдавать 11 мая, так что я еще напрягу уважаемую публику вопросами "по теме".

strike weapon


Explanation:
Example:
http://www.shaolin-society.co.uk/weapons/metal.php

"A javelin was carried as the main strike weapon (hasta) of the Romans "It was approximately six feet long with a leaf shaped spearhead made of iron. Not initially intended for throwing it was a stabbing and thrusting weapon. Smaller javelin (laceae) was used for throwing and a quiver of these would be slung over the saddle horn for the cavalryman to withdraw as necessary. Javelin throwing (due to its Greco-roman origins) is an Olympic game."
