Even for all who had swords, their primary assault weapon was usually some form of pointy murder stick, usually handheld and horse-propelled

The sword is the pistol of ancient times whereas the sprear is the assault rifle.

That analogy bothers me more than it should because pistols are generally cheaper than assault rifles (but I get your point)
