The ultimate answer for Plate armour (if we talk about melee weapons).
isn't that just a plain ol' warhammer? most warhammers had a blunt side and a pick side (for piercing armor).

but about longswords, what about big two-handed warswords like the claymore or those massive german swords that landesknechts used? a full swing with one of those to the side of someone's head would surely do some damage regardless of armor, right?
