Weapon you have training with
Bad
Long sword, katan
Axe
Hammer
Bow
Magic

My recommendation if you ever got stuck in a situation where you had to pick a weapon like this is don't pick magic as you have no clue how it works and  don't pick a a katana or a long sword or anything like that. don't pick a hammer or axe as they will not help you as they use a lot of stamina and aren't that effective choose a pole arm, spear or halbred as they are rather easy to use and have a high reach. Halbred is the best due to it having several diffrent uses another okay pick is a crossbow as it fairly easy to use and only requires a few hours of training but it has several limitations due to draw ability such as the shorter it takes to drawback the weaker it is. Bow will not be useful as they require high amount of skills and training. A medium sized one handed sword and shield is a fairly okay pick due to having some defence. If you have some skills or training with any weapons use that.

@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.

@Gob Silaer blade on stick is basically the best weapon ever tbh and extremely simple to use too so i would honestly choose spear
