with non-rivetted the rings pry appart under fairly small amounts of pressure
Claymore.
so a swing from an axe can more or less cut thru it
A nuclear warhead on a dead-man's switch
Because the kind of "linked chain" that is considered normal is useless in defending against damage
A twelve inch handled claymore
claymores are more or less a meme too tbh
If you want actually protective chainmail, you need riveted chainmail. That's about it @Lucienne d'Anwyl
like they were used a decent amount historically, but really you want a halberd or a sword tbh
well I didn't specify the type <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>
halberds are like
gunpowder ge arent they
tercios and shit
yeah they are known for them
@Lucienne d'Anwyl Halberds became popular with full plate armor, in the late 1300's and 1400's if I remember correctly. Way before firearms.
their job was to guard the musketeers tbh
yeah that time Spain was strong
musketeers do the real damage
No, I want a greatsword. Zweihanders are far too long, and Asian weapons are far too delicate. I want to take the arm swinging at me, and the weapon holding it, off entirely
but once the medieval-warfare-meta started to flesh out halberds really rose to the top
And are the best weapons against armor, which became very popular because not dying is pretty fun.
how is a claymore the right size
if zweihanders are too long for you
the best weapon against armou is the lance
lol
none other
could ever match
the lance
zweihanders are bigger than claymores
kinda requires a horse tho lol
It's just a reference to the handle, tbh. The guard is much too wide on most medieval weaponry
Well yeah but then you need a horse too lol
thats the point
the only thing that can pierce armour
tercios where a military unit basically a regiment made up of companies with different weapons
is a horse
for the most part
halberd/warhammer can
assuming were sticking to melee
i mean really arrows+wall+siege+madstrats > everything
