Hi, for a Year 10 assignment I have to make a "commercial" on why the Mancatcher is better than the Goedendag. Specifically I have to talk about the advantages of the Mancatcher, disadvantages of the Goedendag, and the Mancatchers use in battle. This is a "pair" activity but not really, your "partner" has to do a commercial on why the other weapon is better, so my partner says the Goedendag is better than the Mancatcher.
Anyways, while other pairs got normal weapons like the halberd, mace or arquebus, we got 2 weird weapons that there is like no information on. We are the only pair that got 2 weird weapons (some pairs did get 1).
Both my partner and I have tried searching for sources on either but we can't find much information anywhere except for youtube. This alone would not be a problem, since its a commercial, however 25% of the marks (5/20) comes from the bibliography.
So essentially, does anybody have any sources on the Goedendag or Mancatcher?
