How much weight is the second degree of spearmen bearing? That angle looks to be 45 degrees, 20 feet of shaft, and a spearhead of 2-3 pounds. Must be exhausting for their back and shoulders.
They were pretty ridiculous as far as spears go. They hold them with both hands too because they are so long. They had to use smaller shields and there was some evidence of neck straps to hold the shield on their shoulder allowing a two hand grip
