Especially in Portland, a lot of the antifa without masks are large blacks directly out of Africa

non rivetted are just pieces of metal bent into a circle
That is riveted chainmail
i have no idea how good it is
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?
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
halberd break enemy morale and stop cavalry
