Huzza!!! :-D

(I speak as a man who has converted all his 15mm Minifigs Renaissance/ECW/TYW pikes to brass wire; they also have leaf-bladed points as this makes them harder to pull out when you get skewered!)

Moi aussi!. It does tend to stop curious hands from picking them up more than once.

There was one occasion (admittedly, I was slightly the worse for drink), where I got skewered and walked around the house for several minutes without noticing that I had a stand of 4 pikemen implanted into my left hand. which is a comment on the sterling retention properties of said weapons.

I recently ran a murder mystery RPG game set at a wargames convention where the victim's body was found with a pair of pike stands embedded in his eyesockets

One of my more painful accidents was dropping a Pax Britannica French officer with a pin for sword.
It embedded itself in my upper thigh, aided by the weight of the figure behind it.
A few inches one way would have no doubt been more painful and provided one of those interesting stories from casualty.....
