I remember reading something about if you fall over in your armor you’re fucked without people helping you back up
knights could do acrobatics in armour
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBxdTkddHaE also here is a dude drawing a longbow (English) and firing an arrow against plate armour
so i think thats rather silly
@SkeF nope
Well yea full plate is only 30KG
The modern soldier carries more tbh
course plate thickness depends on the wearer
every single piece of armour is custom made
so variation does exist
@SkeF here you go for context

all I’m saying
Body armour alone is like 10-15KG todays world, + webbing which is about 10KG, plus helmet which is about 2KG, plus bergen which can be anywhere between 10-50KG
This is plate armour at work
depleted uranium shouldn’t be illegal
I’ve been tricked, I’ve been backstabbed, and quite possibly, bamboozled
Full plate is also much better distributed over the body than modern armour tbh
Most soldiers inc me know taht one day will ahve a host of knee, ankle, back problems because of the weight tbh
@A Big Gay Baby cheating
the dude is literally wearing a peasant helmet
Already destroyed one of my knee ligaments <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
Modern plates in plate carrier stops even a 1250 pound crossbow won't go through more than a few centimeters.
not a helmet that matches the rest of the armour
it's a salet
Not true louis
That is a myth spread by dickheads in the private sector who fail to mention that plate type is relevant
It's about the speed not the weight.
You get 3 different main grades of body plate
The first 2 will do jack shit
the dude's helmet just has the visor removed
exactly
thats cheating
the breathing problems associated with a helmet
If you don't have the class III or whatever it is called you aint wearing body armour tbh <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
along with its vision problems
