Can anyone explain why a claymore is listed as a polearm ? Isn't it a really big, 2-handed sword or did I miss something ? Wouldn't it be an edged weapon instead ?

I am wondering what exactly *is* a rattan stick to do *serious* stun damage on unarmored targets. The description says its a light stick that weights very little. Isn't serious stun damage overrated then ? It seems quite a lot to me...

thanks
