There are too many polearm names. So what terminology should I use?

My idea for the war hammer was to give it the weighted chain of a kusarigama. The better to tangle, grapple with, and control the movements of your enemy. (maybe) Add an elctric stun feature and (definitely) a retractable chain, and you've got a fairly versatile weapon.
