At first glance, a ranseur appears as a form of a spetum,
or vice versa,
but the purpose of the design of the former weapon is more complex than that of the latter.
A ranseur's secondary blades are backward-hooking projections set well below the large central blade. <backward-hooking: check UA image>
The spearing function of the weapon is apparent,
and the deflection includes the trapping of opponent weapons in the space below the main blade,
where a twist of the shaft would apply pressure from it or the secondary projections to either break the caught weapon or disarm its wielder.
    <force the opponent's weapon to make an item save on a parry?>
Additionally,
the side projections provide both a means of holding an opponent at long range or pulling mounted opponents off their horse.
    <add : DISMOUNTER!: These weapons are capable of dismounting a rider on a score equal to or greater than the "to hit" score. ?>
Similar weapons (or synonymous names) are chauve souris <spelling error?>, ransom, rhonca, roncie, and runka.
