The sword that they are inappropriately typed in game as, would be more appropriate as "zweihander", "bidenhander" or even a pike.

I like it the way it is. Whenever one of my characters wielded a landsknecht, I imagined that he had picked up a German mercenary by the feet and was swinging him into his opponent's face. The German mercenary sometimes shouted in protest, but sometimes got excited to be used as a club, and would flail his arms about in an attempt to inflict more damage on my enemies. This image always cracked me up and I'd hate to lose it.
