STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@untold wraith how much is a foot
IM NOT BRITISH!!!!!!!!!!
30cm
12 inches
Crazy how the Hospitallers originally were a charity that helped those in need (This is where the word Hospital comes from) to a money laundering business who supplied money and soldiers to help in a war of money
is ur foot 30cm
nope
then it aint 30cm
1 inch =2,54 centimeters
Nerds
they shouldve give america centimeters
get it RIGHT!!!!!!!
12 inches were the size of King Henry 1's foot,
jock
he was a big guy
holy hell
the fj would go crazy
remind me america still does inches and pounds because ship with new system didnt arrive right
Guess you could call it, a half sword 😂 😂 😂 😂 🙏 🙏 😂 😂 😂
oh yeah well your mom measures in metres because if me
:/
friggin frigg
woah pal watch the language
"metres" oh boy
haii silly
my glodsporns
hello Gormpy
When the metric system was made, the United States asked for a kilogram to potentially adopt the metric system. On it's way, the ship encountered a storm and accidently made its way to the Caribbean where BRITISH PRIVATEERS intercepted the ship, sunk it and tooks all of the treasures. When they found the Kilogram, they thought it was junk.
Always the British
ok so self sabotage
wdym self sabotage
can i paw
who sent ship
@lament roost is this true
tf
french
is that a yes
i think
man
the french, they made the metric system
ok fine
they also have the Parisian kilo
did they back then?
Then the british call us stupid for using the Imperial System, which they created, and stopped us from adopting
and is it called that
tonights the night
did the French make croissants because I love croissants
Oh you know tonight's the night
idk
its called the grand k
i swear this server is about the hit game that is still currently in its demo stages
Can't believe Dexter Morgan was the Bay Harbor Thailand Furniture Buyer
why is it about the imperial system
i think theyll announce something about its release at gamescon
i hope
Me when ur mom
could js asked for another
theyre doing the multiplayer test in Germany right?
dude WHATS YOUR PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was searching heavy for this video in my files

keulen
Deitz nuts
diesen noten
People couldn't Email back then
idk im not german
it was expensive, and not the most important
everyone was skeptical of the metric system
because it was new
Neez duts
could bring a kilo when trading
even the french
Deeznuts
I mean, they asked for one, never got one. It wasn't that important to the People
Franch
i think 1600-1900 is the most boring era
bro what
thats 300 years
i dont enjoy it
Industrial Revolution? Pirates? English Civil War? American Revoultion? American Civil War? Scientific Revolution?
Were you there for it?
im drinking the blood of david hernandez who went missing on 12/05/92
Could have been the best time and you just never known
20th century was cool cuz u could do revolutions
everything besides that is boring
there are bugs under your skin pick them out.
can we mute this man
Nice about me @plush thistle
instead of "imbalanced humors"
my fault
yes i find most of these relatively uninteresting, except for most of the stuff about america and how it grew but the renaissance, voc, trading etc doesnt speak so well to me
there are insects under your skin, please get them safely removed by a doctor or a surgeon!
that better?
@plush thistle have you ever seen a man staring at you from your window
I dont see that man.
You just wouldn't get it
I am that man.
i agree theres lots of stuff i probably dont know but i wont find reason to learn about it
You should look into "Pike and Shot" warfare, its my favorite time period for warfare
guess hes good at hiding
means ur bad at ur job
do you hear the voices.
i hear voices of the void do you
ive heard about it 😭 not everything is uninteresting
do what they tell you.
voices of the void??!!!???!!!?
Knights with guns is sick
unfortunately they tell me to raggebait the ragebait
the trees are moving
rather a little more advanced reddit humor
the bugs youre right!!
oh em gee!!
i did not mean that
embed failure
loser
your a loser
Can i post gifs or no, I don't want to embed fail
the voices
wrong photo
no you are
nah
my voiices are cooler than urs
ur voices re based
my voices tell me to ragebait and do politics
do they tell you to kill Joesph Berland who lives at 5723rd Pole Road?
Puerto Rico isn't real
I'm a professional Puerto Rico denier
Ew
WOAH
woah man thats a warn right therw
Buddy
what?
What kind of server you think this is bud
im telling silly
nothing happened
@spark quartz he wants to do mean action to me u should check deleted messages
Quiet.
i dont feel even a twitch of rage nor anger
yeah don't joke about that type of stuff homie
dont call me homie.
hi
I dont care
My point still stands
peak
!!
it did work tho
how does this channel go from talking about the time period of the game to this lmao
paws at you
gormpy you may aswell leave ✌️
you're really arguing on a halfsword discord
@plush thistle be better
boiii that was a tuff roast
goobers invade our channels
i call 8 hours on t*ktok
If only there was some kind of reaction gif that both defuses the situation by killing the chat and makes it worse at the same time.
game started getting played by large streamers and their viewers started leaking into the channel
You talking about me?
halfsword chat is usually pretty chill atleast
we need an iq test
i genuinely cannot comprehend the fact that the peasant great foe is so hard to beat without anyhting good
Vtuber reaction gifs
you are a really good chat killer lol
i cant kill bro without atleast an axe
If Halfsword becomes a brainrot game I will become a terrorist
who wants to grab the finest steel before acquiring any skill
It's always moai i swear
don't encourage that bro PLEASE 😭
Just by circumstance I'm the last person to text in chat
hey i know one!
I have high hopes for this game and I hope it doesnt get fucked up
its too late...
infact i hope it doesnt ever get to that point
Who wants to skill the finest skill before skilling any skill?
You skillfy skiller!
i actually dont
lets kill markus instead
thanks
I didn't even see that
nvrm force him to watch all of one piece
Good god
Belly full of soup
oh god..
please put a 12 gauge to my forehead and pull the trigger
instead of that slop
Felt like you joined forever ago
You're British!?
yeah
Bro stayed up late on a school night
scottish*
Even worse
fuck yes i did
No matter what, there will always be someone who joins a server to spew brainrot, luckily we have people to deal with those
thankfully
better history than probably half of europe
This fella really going to get away with this
Oh he said it to himself
Still
make him watch oniichan wa oshimai at the bottom as well
NO
I'm more concerned with it not being a financial success more than it becoming a brainrot thing.
Because if it flops, they probably wont make more of it.
thats worse
yeah thats my main concern
I'd sell my kidney for this game
but if people do try to sway them into making the game into cod with nicki minag skins that could certainly be terrible
Also...my only achievement will be worth nothing and I wont get more work.
The studio who's creating the sekiro anime on crunchyroll, Qzilla, actively uses AI to "change" the animation process/industry
pmo
yeah the main reason I want this game to succeed is I want more of the developers to see light and make more of these games
Caseoh actively plays the game. So I'd say that's a step to something
If more large streamers bring the game to light it could definitely impact the sales alot for the good
caseohs fans are half cornball half edgy preteens that think fat jokes are funny
i dont think thats good for the community
yeah maybe not the community
Caseoh plays halfsword?
brah you came in talking about bugs in your skin i dont know if you have the best humour
that wasnt my actual humor
wondering if you're one of them
thank you for saying exactly what i was thinking lol
heads or tai|s
russian 😭
i speak my truth at all times
tsk yeah
Silly what do you think of the new crunchyroll sekiro anime
Lotta low levels in chat rn
speaking of, I really want a cigarette and some jazz rn
Guys I think this guy might be a russian spy
ngl I dont really care, I dont watch anime
im not
more like if the coin lands on it's side, he's not one of them
Hang this man
forgot a box of worms and a fishing pole
classic mistake
some of the 'plots' seem interesting but the art style is so mid i cant watch it
we need to remember the important things in life
bro i deadass thought your pfp was a hunter exotic from d1 and d2
i agree on this one tbh
Tbh the style looks really good for sekiros theme
ill google it
Google what
gang
I was never much into anime but im still trying to find any more information on the dark souls anime
seems interesting enough
what is yalls favorite halfsword bot quote
yeah it looks watchable
HALFSWORD ANIME
mine is "MY GLODSPURNS!
You got bagpipe practice in the morning bud go to bed.
im sorry how the fuck are thry going to convert game to anime
This'll be the first fromsoft watchable media iirc
probably follow the main storyline of the game as the main plot?
Ts looks beautiful twin
is it going to be clashing for 18 minutes
yeah probably
It'll be kinda like the Manga probably
okay listen im not a stereotypical scottish person
elden ring movie will come out 2027 estimate
They have stuff to work with man
theres manga???
and the darksouls anime has no eta
Yes, following the infested man at the sculptors shrine, the undying guy
alright ignore this i guess
unpopular opinion but I hate when video game adaptations that are made into shows are just the normal story mode from the video game. Like bro, use the universe but tell a unique tale
Sekiro is a side character most if the time, he gets his ass beat alot lmao
"and I goodness, Grant me leave to live!"
js parrt
parry
God forbid a company following a plot every fan loves
The man who said that is in chat right now
"let hand not be heavy upon me!" is a banger too ngl
yeah ive talked to him alot lol
hes a pretty chill dude
Silly mod has a point though, a great way to expand a universe is by offering a new, unique plot to the world
I see no problem with them keeping straight with the in-game story, ofcourse they will take creative liberty for storytelling purposes but I feel like it would do great in anime adaptation
exactly thank you for agreeing with me
shouldve do dishonored anime
I will not be ragebaited
Anime fans when the anime isn't anime enough 😠
Read the comics
no i want anime
sekiro was ass compared to dishonored
anime fans when the girls dont have an octave -48 voice
Game hasn't been touched since like 2016... let it go 😔
sekiro was great
dishonored was greater
Nope
Incomparable games tbh
It just wasn't
yes it was
I read this in Willie's voice lol
I just think at that point why even watch the show, just play the game. The Last Of Us is a good example, there's a solid twenty years between the video games introduction and when it really starts, they could have had legit seasons worth of content there.
Dishonored sucked
Okami would whoop corvos ass though
Story made no sense
universe is way bjgger
Lies
The characters were boring
repeat
Im a big WH40K fan, and my least favorite thing is when I see a trailer for a new 40K game that looks awesome and seems to have a great plot THEN ITS A FUCKING STRATEGY TOP DOWN GAME
miyazaki is a good director for the things hes made, darksouls series were really good, and same with sekiro
so literally every gacha game evwr
also space marine 3 is greenlit
How would you kill an unkillable trained Shinobi hellbent on murdering you, without the mortal blade(s)
less go
okay question
cut off head
but yeah literally every 40k game is top down strategy
Fridge
we need a 40k game in company of heroes style
Opens the doors for more people and or fans to get well acquainted once more with an already left alone franchise
guardsmen and shit
immortal mfs when i cut their head off
that's Darktide
Not everyone can spend 60 usd guys, and maybe I wanna watch a recap of the story with more detail in anime form
not really
so new people get to watch the two seasons that cover a majority of the first and second game while fans who already know what happens in both games get to see a worse rendition with actors instead of playing it themselves? Make it make sense.
We've lost the plot silly
cyberpunk anime cooked so ur point is more valid
This isn't about tlou
I want a 1st person game as a space marine. SpaceHulk: Deathwing did that but the gameplay was so boring
Cooked up a nothing burger
Reported
screw you
honestly yeah, deathwing was being a terminator though
walking simulator
i feel like the closest we've gotten so far is space marine 1 or space marine 2
All games are a typing simulator
darktide and vermintide were really good
Qwop
darktide is so peak
fr
no, deathwing was a game where you'd have to walk 2000 meters just to get to A-B
vermintide doesnt get enough love though
terrible stamina
Call of duty is a typing point and click adventure game
avg terminator experience
Everything is bro what's your point
Can't wait for Black ops 7
I think Vermintide 1 and 2 just came out before Warhammer really became super popular like it is now, not to say it wasn't before but its probably reached it's highest in the last year or two
🇹 🇭 🇮 🇸 🇮 🇸 🇵 🇪 🇦 🇰
Also Warhammer fantasy gets overlooked most of the time lol
vermin tide was age of sigmar wasnt it?
The game?
Hell yeah
Can't wait to pay 70 dollars for the same game with different in-game purchases for the 50th time!
my problems with Space Marine 2 is the lack of maps and weapons.
very good game though
story was peak
gameplay is really fun too
Yeah but its like a separate universe from 40k so its less popular in general
OG zombie maps? 20 bucks per map? LETS GO
yeah I figured
if Titus meets Guilliman
if you spell applesauce with a b you can call it bapplesauce
guilliman is gonna rip his face off and hes gonna be leandros
Reused assets?? Because they're from an older better game we made!? We can use them again and charge our fans 30 bucks a pop yipee!!
'Your performance is adequate but the taint of heresy still lingers'
bro what
random rick and Morty colab
what gain is there in blood spilled 🔥🔥
Titus will personally save the emporer and exterminate every single Chaos in existance and Leandros still will be yapping
get with the times
Every game has reused assets but cod somehow makes entire games of only reused assets
fr
idk how the call of duty community is still clinging onto the games
thank you twin 💖
MW2019 was the last cod with a genuine work ethic put into it
Arguable on the first point
No
This is a classic
hopefully battlefield gives cod a wake up call with bf6
It will don't worry
Secure boot is a bitch though
ehhh, maybe... the issue is all the streamers want bf6 to be cod lol. I dont think EA will listen to them but the issue is that it won't be as popular
I mean bf has never been as popular as cod
dont worry. EA has always had issues with not listening to players
im just glad it might come to use this time
Secure Boot sometimes kills your os and is actual spyware
lmao so true actually
Tiktok watermark 💔🥀
Peoples computers brick up with secure boot sometimes
apple on top
battlefield 6 was definitely a brick up for me.
New pvz is releasing under EA
sweet dreams
Ik I've forgotten to take my meds, but during Gamescom I was hoping for Titanfall 3
Hope you do good on your bagpipe quiz
if that day comes
hope you do good being
uhh
uhm
a loser
Doin ya mom
yeah we can dream
I imagine how i'd feel if they announced Titanfall 3
you think paws as gloves would go hard
If EA really cared about money they'd release titanfall 3 for 70 bucks and a good story
id buy it twice
They're too busy Milking Apex Legends
its dying out so it'll probably run dry soon
You and paws gormp
they sound cute and silly
are fingerless gloves socially accepted for men
I remember on the Titanfall reddit in 2019, people were posting about a leak where they found a Battle Royale map, and people were like: "If Titanfall 3 has a battle royale mode that will be truly sad" turns out the battle royale mode is the only mode
Arthur Morgan has option for em
thats rdr2
depends on the fit
Zombie asmr
are they in real life
Indeed it is
Well I don't know. Depends on what situation you're wearing them in
if theyre wearing shorts and a t-shirt god no
If you're like at school, I'd go with the heavy no
But that goes across for everyone
hoodie and pants.
no, I'd wear fingerless gloves if I had a suit, or a vest, but also depends. Color and Style theory matter
fuck that
Good way to protect your palms and also more finger mobility
men got suits female got cooler clothes choices
only choice left is armor
knight armor
Back bling?
Gotta bring back medieval style
they cant taze me
Chat feels normal again after the low levels left
Most men look better even if they just tuck in their shirt and wear a belt
I got a pair of suspenders and they look awesome
Literally all we have to do is dress proper
How about this
I wear the dale fit
a tucked-in button shirt, and a belt look nice on literally everyone no matter of sex
yes
literally told you cloaks go hard
Your right about that
Apocalypse or not he had the fit
Applesauce or apple juice
not unless you’re in a sporting or hiking situation
who the fuck calls it sause
mf
day to day it’s a no go
I recommend everyone get atleast 1 pair of suspenders, they are better than belts in many wats
airpod shotty
You because I didn't say that
Yeah some people don’t fit suspenders Tbf
Sometimes a leather belt is fine
u said applesause
suspenders are adjustable
most adults have 1 size
Go back up and reread it
i wear a belt with an additional rubber belt underneath to keep my shirt tucked
It's unedited
That much I know, but still I mean like fashion wise
you can find bigger ones aswell
i dont understand
I myself have a pair of suspenders
i think i’d get bullied if i wore suspenders
applesause or apple juice
would probably be good for winter though when i’m wearing a jacket
i love the winter
Depends how you wear them Tbf
i need me a new jacket
Yeah, don't wear suspenders if youre in high school
how do you mean
when you get older they look better
Do these two align to you?
i plan on making one at some point with a club hoodie’s hood
Yeah suspenders look better with age
i genuinely dont understand
You're probably British
they seem very convenient and it would be nice to have but only under a jacket i think
That's why you don't understand
i dislike belts but wear them still
I sometimes look like a factory boy or a newspaper boy on account im also ginger
Chaperons are very diverse and adjustable
You can wear them like a hood, a head wrap or a hat
especially if i wear my newsboy cap
i know
You know what they say about gingers right?
fit still goes hard imo
no soul?
no im siberian
what does that mean
Ginjis
explain
who are you asking to explain
misinfo
It’s not mis info if it’s an assumption
And you'll understand where I'm coming from
what could this mean
please explain
i wont
As soon as that time comes let me know
this goes harder
Applesauce applesause
harder on the eyes maybe
Nah shiny armor is a sign of royalty
is it practical besides shoulder pads
If you could afford shiny nice looking armor back then you could afford a used car these days
pretty much everyone with armor would have had it and wanted it shiny
people took good care of their armaments
Ofc
But it was still expensive
pls
Nonetheless
the shoulder pads are also not really that practical
Historically accurate medieval armor is so much cooler
shouldve said other than
not super expensive, at least not as much as people made it out to be
i know shoulder pads are shit is everything but them practical
if you were a freeman you would have had probably around half a harness
Sort of
"I like someone who dresses old school"
why
Nothing about it is practical
anyone living in a city really, or anyone with land, anyone with a trade
it is a very good match for a car imo in terms of investment and range
I mean fair enough but are we talking about human with skin wearing it
Or a skeleton wearing it
it is so decorative, wearing it could damage it. Terrible for battle. So many spikes on the head and armor for a weapon to latch onto and use leverage
his weak elbows are entirely uncovered
not protective enough for how much it would cost
Exactly
human can fight with full armor skeleton is too weak prolly
No joint protection
also all the jagged decor on the arms is just kind of inviting weapons to get caught in your arm
how would u hit em tho
sword
No neck protection and anyone with a sword would be able to pin you down and stab every gap of your armor
elbows are a medium-easy target in fencing
ok i trust u
when someone uses a weapon, parts of their elbows are shown
how do you hold a sword
your elbow sticks out
ideally your elbows shouldn’t be flared out
yes, but a trained martial artist could hit the elbows pretty easily
what if fencing guy spawned in a dark souls world
i dont think a skeleton has the best reaction time
it doesn't protect much in the chest and stomach area
thats where all of your goodies are
vital organs
elbows very close to body and close to the ribs, they’re easy to defend from the inside but not as much from the outside
if all fantasy armor and weaponry is not practical does that mean that professional hema enjoyer can easily beat any warlord
depends if the warlord had magic
i mean if they’re a zany supernatural undead then i don’t think i could beat them
in a sword fight
whats the physical appearance of the warlord?
Dark souls knight armor is pretty accurate
Yeah the knees need work
i dunno take a random humanoid guy from dark souls
They have to stop with the fuckass asymmetrical leather pauldrons bro
so horrible looking
could the fact that people in fantasy have superior powers than avverage real life human excuse inaccuracies in armor and weapons
i mean no
you’re still working with the same weak points
but why not have protective armor if you can?
Yeah this ones good
My personal favorite from the souls series just because of its accuracy
No matter how good I am at fighting, i'd rather have a good helmet than a bad one
i mean are you
some guys can throw ur body around with no effort
Doesn’t matter lol
One knife to the neck is gonna suck
some guys dodge faster thsn you can see
Swarm them with a 5 peasants
4 pin them down
but if they do get hit, it would be better to have armor than not
And the other pokes them
yuh but heavy armor slows them down
Armor wasn’t that heavy lol
if strong guy hits enndurance guy endurance guy will die
impractical fantasy armor is more heavily constructed compared to real life armor
Weight distribution
less flexibility then?
if it were more accurate it would be less cumbersome
only with crossing your legs and doing the splits lmao
Yeah pretty much
it didnt slow you down much, it made you get tired faster.
you use more strength and energy to account for the increased weight to move at the same speed.
crossing your arms also suffers usually but even my breastplate doesn’t hinder that
can u do a backflip in knight armor
it depends on the fighting of the person, if they need movement, they can use less heavy armor. Amor is a balance of Protection, Range of Movement, and Vision. That skeleton armor looks rather heavy but didn't have enough protection to justify.
Why does that matter
I could
cuz itbsounds funny
me
thats a weird hat
How do you turn your neck
is that helmet accurate for the rest of the armor?
the body armor looks later than the helmet
you don’t really, i mean you could a little
yes
thats a sugarloaf right?
Helmet is very decorative though
it’s like a 1415 harness, greathelms were used for jousting well into the first quarter of the 15th century
My guy isn’t trashcanheadmaxxing what a loser
this is attributed to henry V and it is SAID that he wore it to agincourt but im iffy on that
definitely ~1415 tho
how would u fight a guy that can crush ur bones with bare fists armor or not
So it’s a decorative helmet or was it mass produced
Long sword
Billhook
I guess so, it feels a bit out of place imo. But I guess im just used to Sugarloafs and greathelms in the crusade era
wouldnt he just break it
Zweigander*
you wore it on your head in a fight
greathelms had impressive longevity
Yeah obviously
It does feel a little out of place though lol
they existed in various forms from the late 1100s to the early 15th century, its bananas
how
Just looks a little misfit to the armor
there are plenty of manuscripts of men in full plate with greathelms
those decorations were easily breakable practically made of paper and glue so when they were used in war they would come off so someone wouldn't use them as leverage
No I know
heavy
yes
Greathelms are kinda hilarious I dig them
they were quite manueverable actually
They only weight like 8 lbs
Very light
whats the differencd between greatsword and zweihander
why
Time for a 3 hour lecture on classification
Are you prepared
Idk maybe it looks like a trashbin compared to the form fitting armor lol
zweihander just means two handed, a greatsword is usually a real big one but afaik wasn’t a period term, in english it would have been “slaugh sword”, in german a schlachtschwert
It’s too late
they are basically the same thing, just different designs
ok so was it bigger than zwei
there weren’t that many form fitting helmets by 1415
I’m aware it just looks uncanny is all
bucket with a gap
I’m not saying it’s wrong or completely inaccurate
Always laughing when I’m reminded what Germans call stuff. Calling a sword a “schwert.” Get real bro.
i mean some sources say “zweihander schlachtschwert”, you could argue that a greatsword is just a longsword but bigger but yknow
Sadly yeah it looks like that
people didn't classify armor and weapons like we do now. kite shields, and square shields were both just shields
okay but they definitely weren’t different designs lol
zweihander just means two handed, greatsword just means bigger than usual sword
ok so its zwei without that thing on blade
neither of them have to have that thing on the blade
a zweihander is JUST a two handed sword
ok
sorry, when I thought of zweihander I thought of a flamberge
a schlachtschwert is a two handed sword that is SPECIFICALLY for battle and improper for civilian contexts, so like primary rather than sidearm type stuff
something you can’t sheathe
Zweihanders usually were used to intimidate or guard right?
Or decorative
Usually weren’t used for full on warfare
man i need some fantasy fight that i could ask question about because all i try to imagine end up being a loss for my argument
now do you mean a two handed sword in general or a schlachtschwert 
great = 1 on 1 zwei = area
God I hate the people who named these things
two handed swords were used extensively in warfare and dueling contexts as your primary that isn’t your polearm
greatswords were often used in fencing-like matches and warfare
no bro
no bro
yes kinda bro
yes
This is getting rlly confusing lol
why did they use swords in knight armor
i remember learning about techniques with 2 handed swords
To stab people and to otherwise hit people
many people would often fight armorless
greatsword / slaugh sword / schlachtschwert - ONLY warfare
zweihander or longsword or two handed sword in general - duel or war
And to cut your nails maybe
Look up mordschlag
wouldnt blunt with stabby things be better
dawg i am a two handed sword fencer
I love copout answers… it depends
because there are still gaps and weak points that can be exploited and blunt weaponry is clumsy and easy to counter with armor alone
besides there are enough people without full armor that you can chop up practically
ok so isnt that just turning sword into blunt
Sort of
this was not the only use for a sword in armor, this was a rare thing for dueling and not a common practice in warfare
Buh
can we compare blunts to half sword ones
I’m not gonna argue with the fencer but still it brings up a point that most weapons can be used as blunt weapons if done properly
no, enemies don’t fight like real people
what about damage they do
half sword blunts hit like crazy and knock out anyone with a head hit
it’s realistic, it’s just not realistic how easy your enemy is fooled by them
it is??
you could knock someone out with a full swing of a mace in real life but chances are he’s going to step back or forward if he sees you trying to swing a mace and then it is entirely null
reminds me of that argument we had a while back
yes, i don't want to sound annoying or act like i know more because i honestly don't. But from what I learned Zweihanders are just a type of 2 handed swords same with Greatsword. And also people have dueled with any type of weapon. to say greatwords were used in dueling, and Zweihanders aren't doesn't make sense to me
I would like to know why theyre different incase im wrong though
The real reason people might’ve used swords over polearms even in armored combat that these so-called “historians” and “experts” don’t want you to know is that swords are uhh fuckin rad hell yes
doesnt helmet negate most of kinetic energy
I tasted ambrosia (beer with very little hops) and in my hubris (already being 2 hard seltzers deep) flew too close to the sun (drank too quickly and frew up shortly after)
My fault for having a bmi of 20
Sort of, but it’s still gonna suck if you get hit in the head with one on
It could cave the helmet in if the hit a certain part
Most armor had thinned down parts where it’s uncommon to get hit
Yeah but what if that rock was getting thrown at you at 50 mph
Gonna hurt a lot
Helmets do good at deflecting blows and redistributing force and shit, but if you just sit still and take a hit dead-on it’ll hurt
And kill you
@pearl coral from what i learned was that Zweihanders and many 2 handed swords were used by the Landsknechte, who commonly fought without armor
or not much
it would push me back and i would fall
idk if i would feel it tho
You would probably not be alive methinks
Yeah no, that tiny rock will pretty much cave your helmet and your head in if it goes fast enough
yeah besides pushing through helmet
The force of a blunt weapon can be transferred through the armor, causing injury to the wearer even if the armor itself isn't penetrated.
Okay so imagine you have a crossbow, you give it a sharpened tip, this is a war crossbow so let’s say it is like 70-90 lbs drawback, not unheard of but still common
Fire that at a knight walking around minding his business
He will become a statistic
i can tell it will puncture me throguh and still go
i figured bows are ectremely strong
But apparently I was wrong with the drawback
A reason why they were one of the first warcrimes in history
Afaik the effectiveness of bows on good armor is kinda overstated
crossbows
Some war crossbows could go up to 600 lbs drawback
damn
my main point was that zweihander is just a two handed sword like a longsword, a schlachtschwert is usually what you see callled a “zweihander” and was so large that you could not sheathe it so it was only useful for warfare
So I was apparently being super generous
It’s hard to hit somewhere that won’t deflect, and armor is very very good at deflecting
I mean if it’s right at your head
If it hits it won’t be fun
Even if it deflects
not enough to prevent you from dying, but:
"Though even though we strike him with a club or axe... this inflicts little to no harm... for against similar we can never apply great blows... which he who is entirely in white armor cares nothing for"
-Pietro Monte
Plus most warbows were made to punch through armor
through maille and stuff, it’s unlikely they would punch right through armor unless it hits a part of the breaths or an outer edge which is thinner
plate i mean
ok so blunt which was made to counter armor doesnt actually work against armor??
it was not made to counter armor man
it was made because it’s pretty easy to produce and easy to use when you’re tired
it’s your last last last resort besides your dagger
i heard something among these lines
I mean if anyone got hit in the head with a mace, armor or not it will hurt
Misinformation
yes but it’s unlikely you’d get hit hard enough for that to happen unless they’re like behind you or you’re tied down
Sharp and blunt work against armor if you do it right, both also work against no armor if you do uh anything
That is true
ok are swords knocking out willie if u hit helmet realistic
Getting hit in the head is typically undesirable I think
if you hit him a bunch yeah
arnet swords light though
how does that work
tis, but it’s also telegraphsble
Plus if we go a step up with a siege crossbow
Which had a drawback max of 1500 lbs
If you get hit with that which you won’t you’d just die
No point to be made there lol
if you step into a mace strike or back from a mace strike it doesn’t do anything, it’s got to be at a perfect range to kill you
A lot of weapons are lighter than you’d think. It’s more about leverage and being a force multiplier and all that
where are you getting these numbers and terms from might i ask
what the hell is force multiplier
Was talking about getting sniped in the head by some lucky crossbowman but yeah
oh yeah
Look up the avg draw back weight of a siege cross bow most sources will say that a max draw back for some of the heaviest crossbows that could be brought to siege have draw weights up to 1500 or higher
Though that might be a couple hundred lbs generous
Or overestimated give or take
If you hold a big stick at the far end so only a little bit of it sticks out of your hand and hit someone with that end it’s not gonna do much. If you hold it at the base and hit someone with the opposite end that is very far from you, the amount of force your hitting them with is greatly increased. A long stick is a force multiplier, basically. The lower you choke down on a weapon’s haft, the stronger you’ll hit but the harder it will be to hit
this is a good place to look http://myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.36142.html
this is all that showed up that i recognized
My crystal ball
Bro is the isack new ton of polearms
its a sword though, im pretty sure force is more balanced on it?
swords act like levers
they can put out a lot of force just by that alone
it’s a very biomechanically sound weapon
wouldnt direct axe hit just knock you out instantly
I’d say I was close with the range of my numbers
but as i said earlier it’s hard to unexpectedly hit someone with an axe lol
Listening to 10 hour brown noise, 4 zyns in, 30 minutes of sleep in the past week, fresh off my mud cleanse diet, drinking only slurm (worm paste)
but would it
Though a war crossbow and siege crossbows were drastically different weights
yes but that doesn’t matter
hmm
if i managed to drop a piano on your head it would kill you but that doesn’t make it a more viable weapon of war than a sword because it would kill you quicker
i was more of a force comparison
Both of you are on hills you refuse to die on lol
idk what hill he’s trying to claim
I FUCKING LOVE ARGUING ON THE INTERNET!!!
Don’t we all
Thanks Galaxy you always fail to bring great things to the table at the Half Sword Discord general chat
you are most welcommmme
if an axe hits you on the helmet at full force you will be very hurt
if a sword hits you at full force on the helmet you will be less very hurt
the drawback is that the axe’s balance is entirely on one side and is unwieldy if your opponent has depth perception and tempo
This conversation has gone like nowhere though
What about a great axe?
ruggabaahhhhghahhhh
https://youtube.com/shorts/821qP3HHT7s when i see these 2 fight i really cant imagine that these weapons hurt that hard in armor
This is a non-choreographed knight fight with full speed and full force behind every strike and thrust.
The weapon from the video is a safe training tool from Dominus Gladius: https://dominusgladius.com/drevkova-zbroia/534/
Stay safe and dont kill your training partners.

More of a conversation about educating and curiosity and shit methinks
like every time i check the channel out i question if weapons are that lethal
i heard they used some kind of less LETHAL material for the heads of the weapons
those weapons are made of hard rubber
in fact i have one just like it in the corner of my room
does that mean theyre more light
they’re also choking up on the weapon and reducing the force that a single strike deals out
or som
I mean he does literally get knocked out in this video so it hurts enough
it means they wont cave in someones skull
i mean kind of
I mean to be fair, pretty rough to duel with solid steel lol
they definitely will but not as easy
A sword is cooler still
Especially if it’s not going to be lethal
wdym by choking up
sometimes even a sword hit in hema is cause for concern a pollax definitely lol
They did it in a recent vid lol
Dequitem loses his mind more and more with each passing video
Yeah that’s fair
their hands are more “balanced” on the weapon
Did you see the most recent one where it was a samurai vs Viking
Moving your hand up the haft basically
His helmet literally flew off and they kept dueling
they’re not letting it gain a crap ton of acceleration by holding it like a baseball bat
Yes lmao
dequitum should do a unchoreographed pike and shot duel
how would one hold it
dequitem should do a uncoreographed
dequitem should do a no armored sharp fight
Dequitem should do an unchoreographed dance battle
dequitum should idk....
here’s my pollax from the same manufacturer as dequitem’s
however you want
The his guy is on a higher plane than us mortals rn
the his guy
Smough ass armor
type shit that one british guy here said he partook in
what about https://youtube.com/shorts/9ieaNdRqzco is it the same issue
The poleaxes are made out of real steel. The spikes have a blunt tip. Thrusts and strikes with these weapons are really dangerous and even a blunt one can kill you without armor. My opponent is Augusto Boer Bront. He is a poleaxe student of Arne Koets and l a full time armorer. Of course he forged his own armor, like I did. The funny part of arm...
Thanks for keeping it real Oaf
thats grounds for permanent timeout
keep real
Lmao what I never saw this
I miss god's most pretentious european :(
Someone actually said that lol?
it’s the angle
If he lived in London though it makes sense
Still lol
he made fun of me for wearing safety gear in hema
Armor is pretty sick though
