  • Shame they didn't mention the evolution the samurai made in the 16th century to a mounted/dismounted spearman and the evolution of armour in that period.

  • @TikiShootah Look up Samurai Tom Cruise

  • Some European armour used only by horseman weighed over 135 pounds.

  • His european armour weighs 85lbs?? A joust armor possibly, but the common battlefield gear never was that heavy. Here's one that has a weight of 50lbs

    Aside of that i've enjoyed the nice images :-)

  • u mad?

  • and the English people want to tease... and to feel as if their needed... or that they might know something... yet they will never tell us the entire truth... becase that is how they are... and even if they were to confess to everything that their hiding... then they would still lie about it... or down-play what they did... and to twist-it-around... and since I am a Historyaholic... then I will just find-out the truth for my self... and get that Chimney Sweeper revenge... and bomb London again!!

  • ...and how can a Beatles/Harry Potter fan even be able to understand anything... or to represent the armor of Japan... hmmm... becase something does NOT make sense... and we will NEVER know the truth... becase the English people are fanatical on brain-fucking the world... and so they can feel good about themselves... and that it's ONLY them who know the truth... and I have a feeling as if the Asian people in Asia... gave-up on the Armor... and so the British and the Yankees can keep their toys!

  • ...and I can't even stand the English accent... and what bothers me the most... is that the English people act as if their speaking for the group... or that they are representing the Europeans... hmmm... and from a former Polish chimney-sweeping-war-orphans point of view... then I have nothing but hate towards those English-scumbags... becase thanks to their British-invasion on the United States... Hinduism is the new punishment for prison-inmates... and all thanks to the English-Slave-Masters
