@sukumvit Of course. It's great if there's an "I guess your weight" act at a fair.

@raysetiger285 Because a bullet shatters mail and you end up with a bullet in you and several bits of shattered mail.

You seem to think people doesn't want you to speak, but you're wrong. I could listen to your voice for hours without getting tired of it!
Also, why did you suddenly stop making videos about two months ago? Exactly when I found and subscribed to you, too...

@RumbitSwe I have had longer breaks than two months. I make videos in splurges. There will be more splurges.

If someone wearing mail fell into deep water, would they be dragged down by the weight and drown (assuming no one was around to help them)? This occurred in a comic book I read once, but I wasn't positive if it was accurate.

@MexicanoVeintisiete It certainly wouldn't help you swim! It is possible to swim in mail, but you wouldn't get very far because you'd get exhausted quickly. In medieval times, almost no one could swim, which would further hamper them!

@lindybeige
I'm not sure about this "almost no one could swim" in medieval times. I haven't done any reseach on the subject but it feels like it is something that /everyone knows/. Just like that they didn't bath, wore dirty clothes all the time and so on.
Sailors would certainly know how to swim. And I think because nearly everyone lived close to water they would probably know how to swim to. At least a lot of them.
Do you know any good source for medieval swimming skills?

@gurkfisk89 Even by the time of Captain Cook, sailors could not swim. The men that went round the world into the unknown with him could not swim. Yes, to modern people this is amazing.
