Only very powerful or specifically designed piercing weapons can go through both well made chainmail and padding. The belief that it was weak in this way is a total misconception.
ANY piercing weapon will go through chain mail, the padding was not nearly thick enough to stop it. The flesh and muscle of the person would be more resistant to the piercing than the padding would be.
@Justin S literally owned, wore, and tested it for myself. Unless it's a spear/javelin or heavy bow/crossbow, it won't do enough to seriously harm you.
Depends, a weapon well made enough or a big feck off sized Viking swinging a two hander axe at ya. I don't put too much faith into my armour at that point unless I'm wearing mjolnir armour. If it doesn't cut through the blunt force trauma alone might be enough to do ya.
@CM C yeah, you don't aim at armour unless you're certain it will end the fight. Blunt force can work if you can hit hard enough, but weapons not designed for forceful stabs are unlikely to do enough. You may even damage your weapon. That's why most of the time you should try to fight around armour, not directly against it.
Always nice to see viking/pagan related videos. But it's always sad to see people decorating their round shields with an Aegishjalmer, a late medieval/renaissance *Christian* symbol. In time closer to us than to the Vikings.
@@hungniirulfur920 no I think Samurais would win because they were trained killers while vikings were raiders who used mainly a hit and run tactics on coastal europe.and they lacked formal training.but it would be only a high diff win for samurai
Are we talking the average warrior with all of their equipment? The average Viking was a farmer. They were armed with spear, a few javelins or throwing axes, and a seax or axe as a sidearm. Armor would be a helmet, a shield, and maybe a padded tunic. A samurai was a professional warrior. He would be armed with a horse, a yumi bow, a naginata, a katana, and a wakizashi. They would also be armored in a form of lamellar from head to ankle. The samurai wins. But if you are referring to the beast samurai and Norse housecarls then you have a more even fight. But the Samurai were mainly horse archers and would still likely win.
@@wild24epicbattles8 hm acctualy, if you ever heard of the jomsvikings that were well equipped, trained soldiers with glima training and bassicly everything from the medeival period you would know that the samurai don't stand a chance. They had better defence, offense and equipment. In terms of glima training it was similar to Judo and old english boxing
Despite popular belief that viking warriors were muscle bound tattooed he men, during part of my thesis while doing my history degree in the early 90s was examing bone and muscle structure from warriors from graves at flodden, stamford Bridge, Bosworth and few viking and dane battlefield s 90% were normal men with massive work fatigue and poor diets, so access to the gym working out every day was not happening 😅and they were not kitted out with full armour and highly decorated swords, these silly films and series nowadays make me laugh 😂.

@@romansochacki7678 you might be on about a duel but in a battle, people are just swinging.
Good weapons
More honor and prode
Can you caver the Odessey
Did Vikings use one handed mace or was that later period when knights came!?
By the 12th Century. The era of the "Viking" was pretty much over. I have looked into whether "Vikings" used maces and I cannot find any evidence.
Did the vikings use bows n arrows? Or the crossbow?

By you Lord, I can run against a troop: By my God, I can leap over a wall
2 Samuel 22:30
Vikings didn't have long beards. They shaved.
Tyr is the God of War not Odin
Can you stop saying "irin" it's iron. And it's not "sea-ax", it's just "sax".
Vikings vs samurai who would win
Vikings

Samurais, especially the ones from the Sengoku Jidai era which were veterans and carried Muskets... easy win
