	Pike - Military History Wiki
		Large pike formations, sometimes defending attached musketeers, were in use during the 17th century, but were eventually rendered obsolete by the bayonet and the demise of the cavalry charge in the face of more effective firearms such as the flintlock musket.
		However, in Ireland, the pike was widely used by insurgents in the rebellion of 1798 and as late as the abortive Young Ireland rebellion of 1848.
		Pikes today are used to carry the colours of an infantry regiment.

	Pike (weapon) Information
		Pikes were extremely long weapons, carried by infantry and resembled a spear between 10 and 14 feet (3 and 4 meters) long.
		Pikes as a main battlefield weapon were replaced by bayonets as firearms became more reliable around the mid 17th century.
		Awl pike (Ahlspiess) is not a pike in itself, but a completely different weapon.

		Pike is a very long weapon with a small iron head; the ranseur, spetum, and partisan are shorter weapons with side blades.
		Usually a spear with a shaft of 15' or longer is considered to be a pike and is designed to deliver a thrusting attack at an opponent at a long range.
		A common form of pike is the awl pike, a strictly piercing weapon, although there are many other forms of blades which were used.

		Awl Pike: An extremely long spear, the awl* pike is treated as a reach weapon, but has a 15-foot reach.
		The sarissa (essentially the same as a pike) was sometimes as long as 20 feet, so at the front of the formation, there were spearheads poking out from the 3rd and 4th rows of the formation.
		While pikes all had wooden hafts, later models typically were reinforced with metal for a considerable ways down from the head, to prevent the heads from being cut off.

	Pike (weapon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Middle Ages, the first use of the pike was by urban militia troops such as the Flemings or the peasant array of the lowland Scots, formed in large masses to defeat the cavalry superiority of their royal foes.
		For instance, in Ireland, the pike was heavily relied upon by rebels during the rebellion of 1798, sometimes with success, as the Penal Laws had made the procurement of firearms difficult for the majority Catholic population.
		Pikes were carried during the abortive Young Ireland rebellion of 1848, and even in the Easter Rising of 1916, although their role was then symbolic.

		The pike is designed to deliver a thrusting attack at an opponent at a long range, and its great length was used to keep him there, as the weapon was always used in mass.
		One of the most common forms of pike is the awl pike, a strictly piercing weapon, although there are many other forms of blades which were used.

	Aventail
		It is not an English word, it is not in the OED, and the article itself says that the English term is "awl pike".
		Note also that the presence of the other word in certain dictionaries does not attest to the term's historical significance, for it is not in modern use and is not in dictionaries of modern terms.
		So, in conclusion, the "aventail" article is entirely false information and the "ahlspiess" article should instead be in "awl" or "awl pike".

		Originally, the halberd was best known for the sheer weight and cutting power of its axe head, able to carve through the armor commonly used by knights upon its introduction into the battlefield.
		As the halberd was eventually refined, its point was more fully developed to allow it to better deal with spears and pikes, as was the hook opposite the axe head, which could be used to draw horsemen to the ground.
		Also the halberds were reinforced with metal rims over the shaft, thus making it an effective weapon for blocking other weapons like swords.
