Oh we're talking about using chainmail in an actual fight
you can tear apart non-rivetted just with ur hands lol
Better not to be hit, rather than to be hit trying to defend against the blow
In that case riveted is specifically the stuff you want if you want better protection
But...
2 jackets is probably better than non-revitted tbh
I mean yeah
If I knew I had to fight some Antifa pencilnecks I'd just put on full biker gear and that's it
Probably wouldn't need more than that
We're talking about Antifa after all <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
They won't always be pencilnecks
what makes rivetted chainmail so special
physics
Especially in Portland, a lot of the antifa without masks are large blacks directly out of Africa
150$
non rivetted are just pieces of metal bent into a circle
That is riveted chainmail
it has a small stud in it
that is normal chainmai
l
whats the difference
slightly heavier metal?
Riveted chainmail has the links riveted into each other which makes it a LOT more durable
a lot of structural strength
Historically "normal" chainmail wasn't even used
It was always riveted chainmail
well if you had to pick a weapon for self defense and carry it around and all what would it be?
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
