Let us asume i am in a fight for life and death, and for some circumstance i have the absolute same basic speed and reaction time like my opponent. We stand 10 ft apart in combat ready stance for the start. I have the choice between a halberd and a dagger and my opponent has to take the other weapon.You can bet i want the halberd, because it is faster (my lever is my prolonged arm plus the halberd shaft whereas the dagger only has the armlength,  if i move my arm at the same speed as the daggerwielder i will traverse a much longer distance with the sharp end of the weapon thats distance/time= velocity!) and ensures i get the first attack (because of reach).</blockquote>
