The 'lance with an actual pointy end' is just called a lance.

the ones used for jousting are specifically jousting lances. Nice attitude. So damn helpful. How about you do more than just a clarification of terminology?

And then you wonder why most people don't have a high opinion of the wiki's community Long day, I had barely slept, and it is at least the 15th time we've seen someone get that detail wrong. There's also the fact you described it in the most awkward way humanly possible.

As for the weapon itself; it is not a lance, as the blade on the underside prevents it from functioning as such, you cannot stab properly with it due to the awkward, uneven shape and poor weight distribution. (a common problem for Monster Hunter weapons is being awkwardly designed or otherwise unwieldy)

You used holstered/inactive (the line where you are supposed to note how it is stored and carried) to describe how it is reloaded.

You repeatedly describe just how insanely heavy it is, and yet you also describe the owner as using a high-mobility recoil based fighting style, in spite ofthe fact that a shell for a large cannon such as that does not provide NEARLY enough kick to send the user flying. Even if it DID controlling the momentum of a weapon that massively heavy, fired behind you, and use it to strike in front of you, is virtually impossible; as you cannot generate leverage to rotate and re-position while in flight.
