END HIM RIGHTLY - The mighty pommel bolt

Күн бұрын

High speed sword pommels launched from a 960lbs crossbow.....Why? What?....Really?.......500 years ago Talhoffer wrote an instructional book on how to fight. One drawing shows a man throwing his sword pommel at his opponent and 500 years later Skallagrim turned it into a meme........
I have adapted a crossbow bolt with a 510g sword pommel and shoot it at a camera and see melons to see what happens, but it also brings up the important question "What weight bolt is best?"
That film will be coming.

Ahh it seems I have been taken in by the meme...It seems the phrase "End him rightly" was a mistranslation by Skall in the first place it was something like "End it swiftly" which makes more sense, but is of course much less fun. It was also not from Talhoffer but was from the manuscript Gladiatoria (MS Germ.Quart.16) fol. 7r: "Note the twelfth play. If you want to end him quickly, hold your spear and sword together on your arm, unscrew the pommel of your sword and throw it at him vigorously." Thanks for the information Schlachtschule

How dare he intentionally screw up like that, right? That seems like an odd position. Sure, if it’s personal preference, don’t watch the guy. I just don’t watch Skall because he can’t decide whether he’s educating me or entertaining me. That and his obsession with longswords. Pretty sure he doesn’t deliberately spread false information, though. Even heard him in some videos say “take everything you hear on the internet with a grain of salt, including what I say.” or something along those lines.

If End Him Rightly was meant as a joke, Talhoffer is nodding slowly with a satisfied smile, knowing that his joke is still funny half a millennium later. If End Him Rightly was meant to be serious, Talhoffer is nodding slowly with a satisfied smile, knowing that the practicality of his ultimate technique has finally been proven.

I fished it up out the pond and after I threw it at a few pieces of fruit on a fence, I got to thinking..." Crossbowman: "I have my crossbow with me. You want to go see how it flies?" Boltmaker: "Oh good lord yes. Let me get some fruit."

The pommel will never stop to haunt Skall. Also, as Skall noted in a follow up: He mistranslated the word "reschlich" as "rightly", he had interpreted it as analogous to the modern german "Rechtlich" or something similar, when it's in fact related to the word "rasch", not related, afaik to "rash". "Rasch" is one of the words that can mean "Fast, swiftly, quickly." And in said follow up video Skall also said that it's apparently meant to mean "To end the opponent swiftly." Which makes sense. It'd be a surprise to distract the enemy when the fight starts, to then rush him down.

The heavy crossbow can launch a massive bolt nearly as well as a 70 gram bolt, so why not? It's limited more by how fast the steel bow can snap back than the weight of the bolt. A foot of 3/8" round bar would be about 170 grams, 1/2" would be 300 grams. With a bit of fletching added, that would fly so much better and still END HIM RIGHTLY.

If memory serves me correctly, I frequently borrowed a book on weapons from my elementary school library that showed different crossbow bolts and they showed a bolt similar to this (just not as extreme in weight) being used to hunt birds. So it may not "end him rightly" but it would put a pheasant or grouse in the pot for supper.

This is absolutely amazing. This is exactly the kind of wholesome (unless you are a melon or GoPro) and enthusiastic content I've come to expect from Tod.

That's actually not Talhoffer, it's Gladiatoria (MS Germ.Quart.16) fol. 7r: "Note the twelfth play. If you want to end him quickly, hold your spear and sword together on your arm, unscrew the pommel of your sword and throw it at him vigorously."

@@tods_workshop You're welcome. Incidentally, the translation I included above is from the Wiktenauer web page. The original says "ob du wilt reschlich mit ym entten", which I personally translate as: "If you want to end quickly with him," which isn't quite as cool.

That was awesome and it looks like an oversized stun darts that would be used with blow guns to either stun small game or in this case end the small game rightly .

I’m so glad that you left the arrow in the helmet from your previous go round. I don’t think a half kilo blunt point would be imagined by anyone else in modern times let alone in medieval times!

Taking throwing the pommel to the next level was a nice idea and executed well. Watching the video was entertaining. That is purpose enough for the bolt. The fruit killing ability of that bolt is excellent.
