What's the difference between a spear and a pike? Are all the long weapons of ancient generals made of metal, or are their heads made of metal and their rods made of wood?

Spears and spears have different uses. Spears appeared before guns. Spear poles are mostly made of metal, bamboo and hardwood. Most spears are inflexible, because spears are mainly used for picking, stabbing and sweeping, so they can be deflected or broken on the battlefield. The shaft of pike is more flexible, because the use of pike requires skill, and the flexible shaft is mainly used to unload the strength of the opponent's weapon, and then take the opportunity to find the gap of the opponent to attack.

In ancient times, generals should mainly use spears for military purposes. Spears have more room to play in the battlefield than long guns. Most of the long guns used in the battlefield are made of metal cores and bamboo pieces, and few ash poles are used in the current performance guns.
