A club used as a weapon is a type of blunt force weapon, usually made of wood or metal, that is used to inflict physical damage. The term can refer to four different weapons: a BAT (3 letters), a BLUDGEON (8 letters), a CUDGEL (6 letters), and a MACE (4 letters). A BAT is a short, round stick with a handle, while a BLUDGEON is a heavy club with a thick handle. A CUDGEL is a short, stout stick with a knob at one end, and a MACE is a club with a spiked head. All four weapons are used to inflict physical damage, either by striking an opponent or by smashing objects.
