A thrusting weapon is a type of weapon that is used to stab or thrust at an opponent. The most common types of thrusting weapons are RAPIER (6 letters), epee (4 letters), LANCE (5 letters), estoc (5 letters) and SWORD (5 letters). Rapiers are long, thin swords with a sharp point and a narrow blade. Epees are similar to rapiers but have a heavier blade and a larger guard. Lances are long, heavy spears with a sharp point at the end. Estocs are long, thin swords with a triangular cross-section and a sharp point. Swords are short, curved blades with a sharp point and a wide blade.
