30th and 31th centuries ? My, then the warhammer is the weapon of the future! Tjunier 12:16, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Can someone explain why a soldier would use a warhammer and not a mace?
- It's more accurate, methinks.
What about Charles Martel? Defeated the Muslim invasion of France and got his very name from the warhammer he used. I figure that would be the most famous use of a hammer as a weapon of war in real life.68.100.106.83 18:04, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- I think warhammers are better at punching through armor. Maces wouldn't have that ability. Plus all that stuff about the hook and all.-LtNOWIS 21:54, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure Thor's hammer was a throwing hammer, which would be a short hafted thing with a blockier head rather than something like this. Tim Gray 80.229.55.67
a warhammer would have much more striking power behind it. The force of the mace is dirtributed over the area of the flanges, but the warhammer is so heavy it could break bones through the armor
