@Gob Silaer A halberd still requires some edge alignment though, I say a plançon is the legit best weapon for an untrained person. It's a long shaft with a pointy spike at the end and a bunch of protuding spikes in the shaft, used by flemish militia. Essentially, a longer spiked baseball bat with the added point of a spear. You can use to whack people with it or just thrust and stab them. If you can carry a shield, even a buckler, strapped to your offhand, plus a short pointy sword or dagger on your belt for last resort, you are essentially set as a man at arms.
