Could This Have Been the Real Weapon of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei???

In this video we hit the controversial topic of what were the real weapons of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In short, we don’t know exactly, but for sure they were not the Crescent Blade Guan Dao and Snake Tongue Spear we associate them with because those two weapons did not exist until centuries later in the Song dynasty. So we can look at what weapons were available in the Han Dynasty, and what they were most likely to use based on their military rank, and commonly fought on horseback. This leads us to speculate that they used polearm weapons like the Sha, Pi, or Qiang. I personally think they would have used a Sha as their main polearm, but that is only my opinion, so what do you think?
