− | Nerf footballs come in two sizes, small and large. A single small nerf football can be used for a nice small-profile spear-tip, while a large Nerf football can either be used for multiple stabbing tips (2-3, particularly well suited for glaives)or alone as a deep, large-profile spear tip. The small Nerf footballs are poorly suited for use on a glaive tip without looking quite strange.
