minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•7 months agoBtw these shoulder plates are dangerous as fuck. Just like Vikings will have never worn horns in a fight.
minus-square@crushyerboneslinkEnglish1•7 months agoThey look useful for jousting. May even be historical but I’m not an expert on those.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoHow so? In what way could they hurt you? (I’m genuinely curious incase I ever become a blacksmith designing armor or something lol)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•7 months agoIf they hit you from the top, instead of sliding to the side those shitty things would guard the sword straight to your unprotected Neck
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•7 months agoOh I see, makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•7 months agoOnly if you leave your arms down, if you raise them it would keep your neck protected.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•7 months agoYeah, they both stand out, which stops the sword from sliding off, and they are even arched, which can lead the sword closer to the neck.

Compared to not having them?
