remind me why i am looking at these vids? all he is doing is making my buthole clench in anger.. so to speak.. "not even an axe could get thru.." well thats not the idea! you hope fpr the impact to be big enough so the schockwave brakes ribs and other fun stuff.. btw i dont really care about my spelling, you get my point :)
wow, its kind of sad that the knights hood ended such short period of time just like that...just like the samurai ended because of the fire arms and economics that gone off...
Wow, i really like the middle ages. im planning on buying a bascinet helmet with a Grill Visor! Another cool thing about knights is that i heard even a early 18th century pirate pistol would not pierce a knights armour!
Knights and firearms coexisted for a hundred years, and an early musket ball had little chance of penetrating the knight's armor. It was economics that killed the knight, not firearms.
@13jhow ....so true....but also they were getting beaten by the improving infantry close ranks and spetial armor piercing weapons did much dmg and the knight lost superiority on battlefield... and crossbow was earlyer used and shot better than early fireamrs still easy to learn to fire and reload it......
@AmericanHero911 not really true a knight is basicly a tittle of nobelman but some knight allways had orders...i mean look at french musketers they were basicly knight of firearms era (they were nobility,had supperior equiptment and were mastery trained
@kaindrg Knights were expensive to field compared to musketeers and pikemen, or lighter cavalry using pistols and light lances, and just wernt really worth the cost since they wernt as effective as they had been Knights were also expensive to maintain, train and field on a long campaign, particularly the cost of the armour for their bodies, which was expensive in its own right not to mention the cost of the horses armour and each man-at-arms i.e knight had 2-3 horses on a long campaign
@13jhow They also forgot that pikemen had more to do with the downfall of knights than the early guns. Plus the longbow could penetrate a knights armor, too, and the crossbow as well.
@13jhow That is true. In fact, armorers were actually pressed to make better armor when firearms started to catch up and so when a man went to go purchase a piece (usually a cuirass) he would always check for round dent in the armor showing its proof that it could resist bullets, hence the term "bullet proof".
Wish they never invented guns.

real knights probably moved more fluidly because their amour was custom made and fitted whereas these people probably bought complete sets

Samurais used lot of firearms when they did go to war. It was mainly politics what caused their demise, nothing to do with firearms.

a mace will beat any knight. it doesn't matter how good his armor is if you knock him out, or smash him.

@equallyeasilyfuqyou I think this episode showed that the armour could stop it, but the bones inside would break.
