This weapon makes me cry. As a medieval reenactor, who has access to lots of material about lances, and is engaged to someone who has friends who use lances as well as having her own friends who use lances, this weapon makes me weep.

It's just...the shield is wrong, the style is wrong, the idea behind the on foot usage is wrong, the shield is too large and does not have the proper shape for a lance to be used effectively (shields had a C shaped section cut out of one side that allowed the lance to be used in conjunction with the shield, instead of having to move the shield out of the way every time you wanted to use the lance on that side of your body).
