lances all the way

or couched pike

either way

There's no reason I can't stud my guard. I've already got a design for what I'll use

the horse does the work

and

@Kealor what is chainmail if it isnt riveted

but is welded shut

Halberds were the most popular weapons in the late medieval ages, after plate armor became popular. For two reasons - first off they were two-handed weapons, and as you already wore plate you wouldn't need a shield and therefor could use a halberd without much penalty. And second, they were super good against plate armor and on top of that were just really versatile and powerful weapons.

?

I have a shape I'll use, for the guard, which will be much smaller, but more pick-like than what any previous sword used

surely it cant be anywhere as weak as unwelded rings

ah thats like the midpoint, its somewhere in the middle

its not authentic, but it is better than the pressed chainmail

iirc it is still weaker than rivitted tho

But I gotta go to fucking sleep it's 2 AM here and I need to wake up in 4 and a half hours. Who knew I'd find people talking about medieval weaponry and warfare in here <:tiptip:462282246695419934>
