About: Brandistock

An Entity of Type: Weapon104565375, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A brandistock (also called brandestoc, buttafuore or feather staff) was a short type of pole weapon which was used by both infantry and civilians alike, primarily police officers in Italy between the 16th and 19th centuries. Measuring some 1.5 meters (5 ft) long, the brandistock construction was unique for polearms in that it had a retractable blade. The head consisted of either a single or a trio of long thin points, which were kept in a hollow aperture inside the rest of the shaft. A sharp thrust of the weapon forward propelled the heads out, where they could be readily locked in place. This weapon is essentially a spear with a sliding blade, or alternatively, a long handled out-the-front gravity knife.

  • ブランディストック(英語:Brandistock、別名:brandestoc, buttafuore)、フェザースタッフ(英語:feather staff)は、通常は二股の槍で、勢いよく振ると先から80cm の刃が飛び出す長さが約1メートルの槍である。16世紀から19世紀まで、イタリアの初期警察官、兵士、民兵らが使用した。 この武器は飛び出し式の槍、空挺ナイフ()も指す。ちなみに、この種の槍はイタリアでは Buttafuori(用心棒の意)と呼ばれ、Brandistoccoのような最初から三叉槍の物とは異なるが、良く混同され Brandistocco と呼ばれる。巡礼者は護身用の杖として身に着け Bordone と呼んだ。 (ja)
