He is also forgetting that the archers would have been using armor piercing broad heads

@drahcirdier Hot damn nice comeback against that idiot :D
-
They're forgetting that the knights themselves have a velocity relative to the archers. Supposing a knight moves at 10 m/s towards the archer and the arrow travels at 30 m/s away from the archer at impact, the resulting 40 m/s relative speed results in about 78% more kinetic energy compared to an arrow flying at 30 m/s towards a target. This would go a long way towards penetrating the armour.

@lifes40123 During this period in history. At the battle of Crecy, in 1346 (the one in the video), horses would have been UNARMOURED.
At the battle Bosworth, in 1485 horses WOULD have been armoured. (slightly)

@lifes40123 Wow... that was intelligent...
Horses were unarmoured during this period.
-
@drahcirdier horses had armor on them too u fuck
-
@Tareltonlives It was a bodkin they used.

Depends on what period you're talking about, as well as what type of soldier. You wouldn't have found a Man-at-Arms without plate by the 15th century.

@drahcirdier not to mention chainmaile was the most common armor. plate armor was expensive. and very rare. making this test sort of a moot point.

The one thing i hate about these shows, is that they do "tests" and discover that a longbow arrow would not piece armour. Ok, thats fine. by the 14C that was true.
But they fail to consider the psychological impact of being rained on by 90 000 arrows. also, the knights were safe, but what about the HORSES? they dont mention the chaos that would occure when several thousand horses were injured, and freaked out, throwing their rider etc.
A horse with 10 arrows in it is not going to behave!!

I wonder what would have happened if they had a bodkin head on the arrow
