That video was so based. For any anons who want to watch it:
Dominic Morales
learn actual medieval history
yes plate armor can stop a longbow but in many cases soldiers were too poor to afford chestplate and had to settle with leather or padded armor
youtu.be
it was only knights and the rich who could afford full suits of armor that could defend their bodies

Getting into archery gave me crazy back gains, would recommend/10

There's this, but there's also the fact that people who cite OP's video as evidence the longbow wasn't an effective weapon against plated knights and that events such as Agincourt are overhyped are just stupid and can't comprehend how things would actually be on a battlefield.
Yes the ability of a longbow to pierce full plate is dubious, but if you're a knight atop a horse and entire volleys of this shit start raining down on you you're fucked. Chances are at least one will land where it'll hurt, debilitate, or kill, and there's no way your horse isn't going to immediately flip shit. At this point you and all your knight buddies are fucked and left floundering in mud while slowly getting picked off with each volley.
Hunter Reyes
technically pollaxe is correct I believe, though most people do call it a poleaxe
a morningstar is a fine sidearm, but doesn't have the same versatility or leverage of a polearm

in op's video I don't think they actually say that the longbow wasn't effective, the archer basically says that the best technique would just be to fire arrows until one slipped under the plate, and right through the mail
Jason Hill
People who use this video to cite that longbows weren't effective are literal brainlets. Battlefields aren't so black and white, and there is all manner of shit that is going down at once.

>using shit that lucifer would use
Bruh...

Seems fun but i'd have a hard time justifying it as a hobby, especially since i could be learning to use a gun for defense, or just biking or hiking for fun.
Isaac Thompson
Any lads for some mordhau?
Lincoln Hill
would you a female knight?
Carter Stewart
Lucas Wood
It's still a more productive hobby than any amount of time spent here tho.

Deus COOOOOOOOOOM

Hah she would die in a nanosecond
Blake Thompson

I've learned English with Jow Forums, so I regard the time spent as pretty useful. Now I can read the English classics in English and it's due to the continuous exposition to the language with this site. I just finished David Copperfield, by Dickens.

>exposition
Exposure is the word you're looking for
Nicholas Howard
Not yet but I took the neck pill about a week ago and I already see progress
Jacob Lewis
Nah. Horsebows ftw.
Ian White
I prefer a dane axe. Slash rather than smash.
Colton Foster
If you're a knight in full plate, you have bigger issues than bows. Guns is what you should watch out for.

Someone redpill me on archery. I've been thinking of starting it as a hobby for a while now.
Dylan Phillips
Great vid.
Good indication of how well designed plate armour of around that period was at not just stopping arrows from longbows but also deflecting debris out and away from the neck and underside of the head.
Mason Hill
You know we are talking about the medieval period right?
Cooper Roberts
If anything it gave you an imbalanced
Brayden Harris
What do you think came first?
Shitty guns and artillery, or a man wearing a close fitted metal cage of extreme artisan quality?
Metal man is also going to be immune to:
1. Man carried boomsticks
2. Shrapnel
3. Slings
4. Darts and Javelins
5. Arrows
Competitive archery is just LARPing the same sport that competitive gunners are in.
Trick shooting is fun.
Hunting with bows is illegal quite a few places for anything larger than birds, since there is a good chance you are going to miss and they run off or maul you.
Wyatt Turner
Thanks. See, you never stop learning on this website
Caleb White
What’s wrong with what he said? Leather armour is a thing lmao
David Sullivan
Looks kind of like Nilfgaard armor
Cameron Rodriguez
Of the five points he won't be completely immune to any of these and vulnerable to at least 1.

It's a lot of fun. I really enjoy it

You know archery competitions have been around longer than firearm competitions, right?
