Short Spear animation

[Calixto]

I may be making this up, but I would have sweared that in EFU:M, you could wield short spears with a shield and that the animation, bot the non-combat stance and the combat animation  was the same than that of a normal spear, only with a shield. As of now the combat movements are the same than those of a longsword: swinging and thrusting attacks. Swinging obviously doesn't make any sense since the spear is purely a thrusting  weapon, so it's kind of funny seeing my character hitting with the *side* of his spear (and actually doing dammage!).

Is it a bug or am I missing something?

As far as I can remember (2 years ago into R) non-standard one-handed items (Trident, Short-Spear) used the longsword animation.

Glad I wasn't making this up. Watching some screenshots of EFU:M; I noticed some npcs armed with short spears and shields with the animation I was taking about. You can see it in the last screenshots.

Apparently the hak or whatever was lost during the transition to EE or the dms removed it for some reason??
