non rivetted are just pieces of metal bent into a circle

2019-08-25 22:40:19 UTC  

That is riveted chainmail

2019-08-25 22:40:20 UTC  

i have no idea how good it is

2019-08-25 22:40:31 UTC  

it has a small stud in it

2019-08-25 22:40:33 UTC  

that is normal chainmai

2019-08-25 22:40:43 UTC  

whats the difference

2019-08-25 22:40:46 UTC  

slightly heavier metal?

2019-08-25 22:40:51 UTC  

Riveted chainmail has the links riveted into each other which makes it a LOT more durable

2019-08-25 22:40:54 UTC  

a lot of structural strength

2019-08-25 22:41:00 UTC  

Historically "normal" chainmail wasn't even used

2019-08-25 22:41:04 UTC  

It was always riveted chainmail

2019-08-25 22:41:06 UTC  

well if you had to pick a weapon for self defense and carry it around and all what would it be?

2019-08-25 22:41:23 UTC  

with non-rivetted the rings pry appart under fairly small amounts of pressure

2019-08-25 22:41:30 UTC  

Claymore.

2019-08-25 22:41:32 UTC  

so a swing from an axe can more or less cut thru it

2019-08-25 22:41:34 UTC  

A nuclear warhead on a dead-man's switch

2019-08-25 22:41:35 UTC  

Because the kind of "linked chain" that is considered normal is useless in defending against damage

2019-08-25 22:42:01 UTC  

A twelve inch handled claymore

2019-08-25 22:42:10 UTC  

claymores are more or less a meme too tbh

2019-08-25 22:42:13 UTC  

If you want actually protective chainmail, you need riveted chainmail. That's about it @Lucienne d'Anwyl

2019-08-25 22:42:26 UTC  

like they were used a decent amount historically, but really you want a halberd or a sword tbh

2019-08-25 22:42:33 UTC  

well I didn't specify the type <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

2019-08-25 22:42:46 UTC  

halberds are like

2019-08-25 22:42:49 UTC  

gunpowder ge arent they

2019-08-25 22:43:01 UTC  

tercios and shit

2019-08-25 22:43:30 UTC  

yeah they are known for them

2019-08-25 22:43:33 UTC  

@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.

2019-08-25 22:43:33 UTC  

their job was to guard the musketeers tbh

2019-08-25 22:43:49 UTC  

yeah that time Spain was strong

2019-08-25 22:43:49 UTC  

musketeers do the real damage

2019-08-25 22:43:52 UTC  

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

2019-08-25 22:43:58 UTC  

but once the medieval-warfare-meta started to flesh out halberds really rose to the top

2019-08-25 22:43:58 UTC  

halberd break enemy morale and stop cavalry

2019-08-25 22:44:23 UTC  

And are the best weapons against armor, which became very popular because not dying is pretty fun.

2019-08-25 22:44:25 UTC  

how is a claymore the right size

2019-08-25 22:44:32 UTC  

if zweihanders are too long for you
