I agree , someone decided to get "creative" I think .
The version they are using in game was known as a Forrest Bill and sometimes as a Dueling Bill , was used as the name suggests for fighting in close quarters and they still made it a bit too short . The full/standard Bill was far longer .

They could have gotten away with Forrest Bills {though a bit longer than was modeled} for militia units and standard Bills for castle units but what using the {rarer} Forrest Bill for all was poor judgement I feel .
