Weapons - What weapon did the Witch King carry ?|

[rutslegolas]

Well my question is what did the Witch -King use as a weapon , I know that he used a mace but Tolkeion dose'nt describe what kinda of Mace .
I mean there are several kind of maces , for eg :-

1) The Flail

The flail is very similar to the mace in theory, that is, put a hard object with mass on the end of a stick so you could build up momentum before striking the target. In flails, separating the striking object (example: metal balls, spiked or not) from the haft by a chain gave flails flexibility. This flexibility increased the impact force of the strike and made parrying the attack much more difficult. While also similar in concept to a morningstar or ball and chain, the flail generally consisted of multiple chains and balls attached to a haft; thus, the flail was even more of an weapon impossible to parry against. The earliest flails were merely adaptations of agricultural tools (grain threshers, for example) but served well as weapons of war. Both cavalry and dismounted soldiers used flails; the cavalry flails were generally smaller and lighter.

2) The Morningstar

Also called a morgenstern (German for morning star) and a ball and chain mace. The morningstar was virtually identical to the ball and chain mace, the only difference being that a morningstar always had a spiked ball for striking. Like the ball and chain, the morningstar consisted of a metal ball attached by a chain to a wood or metal handle. By extending the weapon’s center of gravity far from the hand, the wielder created a great deal of momentum in a swing. The increased force of impact upon the target was devastatingly effective against armored and unarmored opponents alike.

In the movies PJ shows the Witch - kIng carrying A Morning Star .
What do you think?
I would also like to know any other weapons from the LOTR that you guys ( and Gals) know about ??
