"The lucern hammer is a hammerhead with a spike at its rear, mounted on a long pole, reaching as much as ten feet in length. In some cases, the end is fitted with a spike to keep enemy soldiers at bay. It is one of the heavier pole weapons and is rather slow. The entire weapon is usually made of steel, including the pole, and often is decorated with carvings and precious metal gilding...The lucern hammer gets its name from the Swiss city of Lucerne, whose armories were well stocked with the weapon, so much so that scholars named them after the city."

That's right
<----Nerd. lol
I basically just stole it playing Silent Storm trying to think of a name for an Axis soldier. I realized shortly afterwards that it's a city and part of a weapon.
Can you believe it has only as much damage as a broadsword? Even less for large creatures? *grumbles*
