I can actually hear the victor saying "Bitch" as he tosses the shield.

The way the sword sticks into the ground at the end is perfect

The shield was often used offensively. Also by holding the sword at the point end, you get a very useful bludgeon to use against armour.

And thus, the mace, with a much better grip than the pointy end of the sword, and lots more PAIN than a pommel

However the sword was more effective against your average unarmoured foe. Turning the sword around was for the occasional armoured foe.

But a mace isn't particularly good against chainmail, unlike a sword.
Anyonymoose
A sword isn't particularly useful against chainmail either. Mail was generally used to protect against slashing things, like swords.
Ecgwearth
But swords have a thrusting tip as well, unlike a mace. And mail is pretty bad against thrusts.
