@Tony: Except for the fact that an estoc has no cutting edge. This weapon was made with the expressed purpose of piercing armoured opponents, and an edge would merely compromise its structural integrity. In fact, an estoc and a needle basically share the description of usage and advantages.

No idea why you brought up rapier (i.e., a light-weight edged weapon) as an alternative for estoc (i.e., a sturdy piercing weapon), but—seeing as your point is based on false information—it doesn't matter.
