      Most medieval weapons are cheap replicas or hobby pieces by guys who like hammers and have too much time on their hands, but I've no doubt there are more than a few forges that still make good quality replicas and analogues. Particularly for those who practice fencing or mock combat. There is such a thing as an MMA for knights, for example.

      Honestly, my stage blade that I do full strength, full speed medieval armoured combat with, duller than the back side of a butter knife, will still split pumpkins and watermelons quite handily with good technique. I have no doubt that should one of my fight buddies hit me with it where I'm unarmoured, I will have serious regrets and very likely split skin and broken bones.
      We do a pumpkin massacre every year to see how well different tools and weapons go through something approximating flesh, and having tried all manner of sharp and dull swords, how sharp it is doesn't make that big a difference till you're already most of the way through.

      I agree, on the condition that he gets good quality weapons. As shown here, mall-ninja stainless steel weapon-shaped objects usually break after a single blow and are not a good representation of medieval weaponry. Yes to smashing zombie torsos with them, I don't need him to expose on the weapon's history and design like other channels do, but get weapons. Just look at the difference in quality between the "pointy-meatball-on-a-stick" or "spiky-scepter" and the "meat-tenderizer". Sure, that warhammer doesn't look like it was made using historical methods, but it's well-built enough that it withstands intended use, so for a video like this one, I call it good enough. He even has a few good ones in there, the arming sword and javelin seem pretty accurate.

    Fun fact about medieval weapons and armor:
    Warriors and experts (and you in doing this video) figured out pretty quickly that armor is really good at stopping sharp pointy things. Have enough layers, and you can stop a lot of what any sword, spear, or dagger can do. And with plate (or in this case, modern armor), that effectiveness is reduced even further.
    Blunt damage, however, doesn't care how much armor you have. The concussive force of blunted weapons transfers through armor, causing damage through concussions, breaking bones, and bruising.
    So if you're fighting someone in armor, you're better off picking up a big rock and bashing their helmet in than trying to slice them up with a big sword.

    • @markwhite168
      @markwhite168 22 дня назад +14

      Actually armor, especially plate armor does help against concussive force too, as it spreads it around a much larger surface - one could see a difference between a hit with warhammer onto the helmet and later onto the bare head, that burst into pieces from a single hit. Still even a non-penetrating hit to the helmet would probably break a neck below that head. The difference still is that to deliver such a powerful blow one needs to do a large swing and a skilled opponent will have time to react, for instance with a quick stab.

    • @99Knytes
      @99Knytes 22 дня назад

      A sword can still deal concussive force; it's still a bat of hardened steel.
      Besides, against an armored opponent you would be attacking the weak points and joints; whether by chops, or going to half-sword and use locks, throws, and thrusts toward the eye slits.
      Plus, there's a reason the Mordhau (Murder Stroke) technique exists.

    Regarding the soft body armour.
    It might surprise you to know that in medieval times, they already used a similar concept to protect against swords.
    It's called a "Gambeson", and it's made of quilted cloth layered many times. It was designed to provide padding to buffer blows to chainmail or plate, but it also provides quite ample protection from slashing blades on its own (though its protection is sacrificial, as each slash would put gashes in it).

      Yeah, that’s neat and all but to clarify here, Kevlar is not made to protect against stabs and slashes. It’s horrible at protection for that type of attack. It’s made to catch things, not to be abrasion resistant. A thin piece of ar500 is designed to do that task, it’s in the name even!

      Usually, you would combine armor types, depending on the era (and, of course, if you were wealthy enough to afford it). Best protection would be chainmail < gambeson < plate. Forgive me if I got the order wrong. Not too dissimilar from wearing ballistic plate over Kevlar.

      Kevlar can be made stab-proof, it just have to be constructed and layered difficulty. Most bullets are blunt body, and that's why most soft bulletproof vest aren't rated for ice pick test (aka, stab resistance)
      However there ARE kevlar vest made to be both knife resistant, and useful against common pistol (9mm/45acp etc)

      "It was designed to provide padding to buffer blows to chainmail or plate"... While gambeson was used for that purpose, I'm not sure it was "designed" for that purpose. There's some evidence that cloth armor pre-dates the metal armors... And, gambesons were often worn without any other armor. Gambesons are quite effective as overall armor, and they are easier and cheaper to make then chainmail or plate. Also, because gambeson is naturally flexible, it works to "cover the gaps" in other armors that are not as flexible, because the gaps would often be around joints.

    As a D&D player and medieval weapons enthusiast, I'd recommend getting some properly forged and tempered swords for the next time you make a video like this. The way those blades bend and flop around shows that they're probably just prop weapons made of basic sheet steel that was ground to shape rather than being an actual forged blade meant to see actual combat. Love your stuff and I'd love to see more medieval weapons videos, especially if you get a hold of some real quality stuff!

      The problem wasn't the steel but the nonsensical construction. It's obvious decent (but not ideal) spring steel, but much to thing for the size (which makes it that floppy).
      Hitting with the flat also didn't help😅
      Your point is still correct. The only fully functional weapon seems to be the one-handed sword (which he decapitated the torso with a single, not overly precise strike) and the spike of the "tenderizer" (the hammer end was non-sensical with the flattend ends which are suppose to help the hammer grip flat, curved surfaces to transfer the force into the target). The rest was wallhanger crap.

      "ground to shape rather than being an actual forged blade meant to see actual combat" Amateur bladesmith here. Forged doesn't necessarily mean a stronger blade. Ground (stock removal) doesn't necessarily mean a weaker blade. They are just ways to shape the blade. What really counts is the materials and how you heat treat and temper them. Modern steels designed for blades are far superior than any medieval steels, no matter where it came from. There's not even a debate amongst bladesmiths about that fact.
      And before you throw out the fanboy line, "Damascus is the best steel and even better than anything today!" allow me to pre-correct you. Damascus steel only comes from the region of Damascus in Syria. It's pattern welded steel. They were the first to take multiple grades of steel; high carbon, low carbon, and anywhere in between, and mix them together in a twisting pattern and forge weld them all together. This made the resulting steel more balanced, so you'd still have the hardness of the high carbon, but the toughness of the low carbon. We still use the same techniques to make pattern welded steel today, but only for decoration, since any seam or line you can see in the blade after etching, will be a weak point in the metal. Our modern steels mix the right amount of carbon and iron to make a homogenized steel, which gives it the edge, pun intended.
      The "right" amount of carbon is completely dependent on what the steel is designed for. For carving knives (kitchen and similar), you want a high carbon steel so it holds its edge for longer. For fighting knives, you want a tougher blade, so it'll generally be more of a low carbon steel. For swords and knives you'll definitely use to beat things but still need sharp, you'll want a spring steel core with a high carbon edge and if a single edge blade, a low carbon spine to use for striking.
      When you buy a decent weapon from a smith, you're not paying for the materials. You're paying for the expertise of the smith themselves. A good smith will know when to use which metals. Whether it's stock removal or forging, that's probably the least important part of the entire process. I know it's definitely the fastest.

    This is a fun video! I thoroughly enjoyed it! You are absolutely right about ancient weapons not penetrating modern armor. They did not penetrate a knights full plate armor either back when they were in use. The impact weapons like the meat tenderizer and the spike-balls were meant to transfer heavy impact through the armor, breaking the bones underneath or causing a concussion. I think the ball-on-a-chain was a great example of this because it left a skull fracture under the helmet. Swords would have been used to thrust at weaker parts of less well-armored opponents. I do think these weapons are obsolete, but I think this because they cannot put a hole in an enemy over a mile away with a projectile that moves faster than sound, not because modern armor is way better against them than the armor back then. Great video!!

    Not gonna lie, the spiked flail and flanged mace hit slightly harder than I expected, but shoutout to the war hammer for getting the job done. Kinda would've loved to see what a pole arm would've done, though.
    While the armor was definetely somewhat protective, the main issue is definetely how little it covers, when compared to something like full plate or chain mail. If a knight is wearing plate armor, usually the most effective way of taking them down is a wrestling match on the ground, trying to find the weak spot in the armor with a rondel dagger, but pollaxes and other pole weapons are also somewhat effective.
    But compare that to modern armor, and suddenly there are a lot of openings, especially in the face. Still better than nothing, though.

    I love how the war hammer (meat tenderizer) and triple flail tests really show exactly what the correct tools for defeating armor are, that being thick spikes to punch through, and blunt force trauma to put energy through the armor itself. There are two ways to deal with armor, going around it, and going through it, and big heavy sticks with stiff points tend to do better than thin blades for going through.

      Well, 15th century armor went pretty fucking hard. It could even protect from bullets at the time, it was so good that there was no point to even trying to break through it. Modern armor is trash in comparison, the only reason we use it is that it's way better for guns, since we designed it to do just that, stop bullets. A real state of the art 15th century helbard would have probably nearly no problems cutting it.

      It is pretty useful to remember that REGARDLESS of armor and even modern armor can be defeated when enough force in applied.
      It dose not matter what crash helmet or airbag subscription service you pay for. If your going 300km/h and ram strait into a concrete wall on a bike?
      The same thing with the best of armor. You can stop and limit the impact of a hit. You can absorb energy and spread it out over your hole body.
      If you neck is pushed to braking point from a helmet getting hit? It really dose not matter if metal or fancy space stuff. Your neck is going to give out unless supported.
      If your armor is strong enough to stop bullets or swords/spikes. Then focus is going to turn towards beating you up inside of the armor. The same with guns. Even if you are wearing gun rated armor? You still are going to notice a mag dump hitting you. Or say a 4-bore. Like even a 9mm is enough to question what your doing being shot at no?
      Unless your in a tank. (or say a car made to protect you in a crash. SUV...) Armor should.. Never mind. Even in a tank your armor is the last thing you want to be tested.
      You can be bombing around in a WW2 Maus or really anything. If you cross path with train tracks you better believe that the train is going to win that duel with a run up.

    Love that you had a blast doing this. Some tips as martial artist who also remembers to return to bonk. Your blunt weapons and spear are of low quality,your "edged" weapons just need to be folded over and scrapped. Blunt weapons were primary aspect of aiming for armor weak points specifically,where spear were more for the less trained soldier to still be viable on the front lines even as fodder. Spear were also more crudely designed putting more emphasis on the spear head itself over the handle. Your edge weaponry should remain as flat as possible on impact,the sheer quality made me take a double take on what I just witnessed. With better quality weapons,consistent training,I could see them semi-viable in close quarter engagements against modernized armor,but there's a reason every war back then pushed for ranged. The risk isn't worth it,but remember,no matter what the weapon,your training is your only true reliable alley when it comes to handling yourself. As always,take care and happy hunting!

    It may be worth noting that spears of the type seen here weren't commonly thrown in medieval warfare. _Javelins_ were, but they tended to be shorter and usually had barbed heads, since one of their main uses was to get stuck in an enemy's shield and make it too unwieldy to use. A javelineer would generally carry several since he wasn't getting them back, but a spearman would be very reluctant to throw his only weapon away.
