Here's what ChatGPT had to say: "A halberd is a type of pole weapon that was used in medieval Europe. It consists of a long shaft, often made of wood, with a sharp blade on one end and a pointed spike or hook on the other. The blade typically combines features of an axe blade and a spear point. Halberds were primarily used by infantry for thrusting, slashing, and hooking in close combat, particularly effective against cavalry."
