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?
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
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
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
