When I can, I'll be making my own sword a claymore, but with one side of the guard trailing up higher. This is to use it swung from the shoulder, and not the elbow
@Kealor they didn't have armored units
um tato
@Nahkasetä whips have literally been used in georgia by nobles and know warriors
east has had plenty of armour
lol
the fucking persians were known
for their proto knights
As a large sword is dumb to use from the elbow
the clibinarii
he means chink east lu
actual east
chink east had shitty armour
depends on when luci
but it was still hevy
i believe the persians actually did have less access to metals than most
the top tier meme units arent the bulk of an army after all
the persians were in a prime spot for trade
not everyone is wearing plate armour
@Tato In writing probably yeah, but they're so useless in actual combat that I'd be willing to take 5 free hits from a whip no problem before fighting back if I was in a duel
@Kealor scale armour
is the tradition
Fuck armor. Anything we make will just get shot through by a pistol
plate armour is late medieval
@Reprehensibletrash thats completely wrong tho
nahk leather whips yes but if u knot metal pieces in them theyre nutts
bullets are desceptively easy to stop
@Reprehensibletrash yeah why didnt people in the 1300 just use guns smh
Shush fednigger
riot shields are pretty light
considering how good they are
we make mesh that can stop bullets, then we make actual armor
there is a mesh that stops bullets
@Tato Yeah they hurt like hell, which is why whips are so widespread throughout history. But never as combat weapons.
its k3evlar
@Kealor they did use guns
the issue is that a gun is ridiculously easier to produce than a functional set of armour
the arquebus is pretty old
