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 that's the one
@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
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
I'm talking about real IIIA level plate.
are integral to understanding the difficulties of wearing armour
Now important destination here is regular plate armour for combat and Tourney Armour for jousting. That's actually super heavy shit designed to hunker you down to your horse's back with has much weight as possible so you dont fall from the lance strike @SkeF
tbh running in CFO with a respirator on is probably the hardest thing I ever did tbh <:shrug:349342983763656705>
You can not breathe for shit
it's an obstacle course
@SideTracker and then your horse breaks a leg and you die if it gets even slightly knocked off blance
There was a knight who did his exercises in his armour and one of them was monkeybar climbing a ladder leaning against a tree from underneath
@Lucienne d'Anwyl that's why they where special breeds of work horse
There’s a video of someone doing it but I wouldn’t be able to find it now
