There is a program on the history channel about Arms and Action where some Brit dude has amatuers using weapons of a specific period. And most of the time they deal with melee weapons sometimes firearms, what I have learned from that program is alot of such weapons are hard to control. The big axes and morning stars in particular.

I am thinking three weapons will come to prominance,

Maces

Hand Axes

Cutlasses would come into vogue, or similiar short swords, or long dirks

Since all are cheap to make, easily controlled and carried and effective even for those who are not overly skilled.
