Different weapons for different scenarios. Setting bows aside (esp the crossbow), the pike/spear is a cheap, easily mass produced weapon which requires very little training and works wonders when arranged in a formation.
Other than that I would probably use an axe.
As seen in the warhammer video, the pick is much more useful in most situations than the blunt side. If you are to replace the blunt with an axe-blade, you have something which can easily cut shields into half, snap spears, trap swords, and also penetrate plate armor pretty effectively.
Most melee weapons require a certain about of expertise to use. A quick reloading crossbow esp when coupled with a poisoned bolt allow amateurs to take down a seasoned warrior.
