Uploaded by MILITARY HISTORY 2015. A look at the Military History of Medieval and Stone Ages Weapons. We searches museums and private collections for weird and unlikely weapons, then introduces them to our combat team to find out how they were used. We try out a Francisca, the throwing axe that gave the Franks their name; see how armored knights used a ball and chain; and learn the uses of the gruesome awl-pike, bizarre military fork, and the Guisarme, an extremely popular polearm. We also test strange axes like the Lochaber, Doloire, and Waggoner's Axe.
Part 2 starts at 20:54 and introduces us to Stone-Age weapons--flint or bone hand-axes, spears, bows, and slingshots--and shows us how to make them and how to fire-harden wooden spears. Paleontologists and ethnographers help us examine the weapons of primitive societies that have survived into our own time--assegais (slender hardwood spears), blowpipes, footbows, and boomerangs.
Much of what we know of ancient history is the history of militaries: their conquests, their movements, and their technological innovations. There are many reasons for this. Kingdoms and empires, the central units of control in the ancient world, could only be maintained through military force. Due to limited agricultural ability, there were relatively few areas that could support large communities, so fighting was common.
Weapons and armor, designed to be sturdy, tended to last longer than other artifacts, and thus a great deal of surviving artifacts recovered tend to fall in this category as they are more likely to survive. Weapons and armor were also mass-produced to a scale that makes them quite plentiful throughout history, and thus more likely to be found in archaeological digs.

it is impossible to cut through properly made riveted mail armour with a sword, if you're lucky, strong and using a very sharply pointed blade, you might be able to thrust through it, however, you must also remember that nobody would go into battle wearing just mail, underneath it they would also be wearing a thick padded tunick called a gambeson, you would also need to go through that in order to harm the persone you're fighting.

Ok so I know there's lots of inaccuracy I could complain about over this whole video but I'm going to focus around 14:30 instead. You can not cut a spear shaft. No. It doesn't matter how strong you are or what kind of sword you have. You can not cut a hardwood pole that's being held by a person with less than like 100 hits.

@barghestblue731
@barghestblue731 7 жыл бұрын
Well that idea about chivalry did exist, somewhat. It was more a rule for when you were Courting a lady, not really all ladies in general, and there was the thing about how you should act and treat others (2 separate ideas). These all got rolled into one and exaggerated by Victorian romance novels and all subsequent media. As for the forging methods, yeah that's bull. lol The Vikings merely had a somewhat more advanced (compared to the rest of Europe at the time) smelting method, and I've said it before and I'll say it again: The way the Japanese made the katana is an excellent way to make a decent sword out of crappy material (and they were far from the only people to use it).

Because it seems prudent. Medieval weapons and equipment were not factory set specific. They were broad categories of things, only loosely summed together under a myriad of semiformal titles. A halberd could have a spike the size of a small sword on it, or have a haft the size of a two handed axe. A polearm was just anything on a pole, and a spear was just some variant of pointy pole. It could be entirely wood, or entirely metal, depending on your preferences.

Adriel Pinarello There are a ton. A very obvious one is the chain maille they show. Its not rivited (As it would have been historically by the 1300s) and is clearly not a reasonable gage of steel for it to be destroyed like that (it appears to be cheap 16-18 gage budded chainmaille). Historically accurate rivited maille would not tear like it did in the video. Further more, under maille would have been worn a gambesson that would significantly have lowered the effectivness of the "weapons test" they showed. Further more, there are literally hundreds of manuals from the time period on how an unarmored fighter can fight an armored fighter using an arming sword, spear, long sword, etc. and things such as the flail shows have little historical evidence towards ever actually existing in the way they are depicted in this video. Throughout the video the cast shows an almost complete lack of understanding towards the reasons for development, modification, and context of the weapons and armor shown, and just about everything is grossly exaggerated to a massive degree.

Ok a more complete list. Not historically accurate armour (any of it in the video...) inaccurate weapons, names and a whole host of things. Examples....arming sword*** Not broadsword. Mail/Maille not Chainmail**** Falchion's historically weighed often about 800 grams to 1.1 kg, Arming swords about 900-1.3 kg. Full set of mail about 50 lbs (Full 15th Century plate harness about 40-65 lbs...so not far off.) That wasn't an Estoc...an Estoc is a very long (over 130cm.) Greatsword with a very thin blade that was *edgeless* .....Axes were not designed to cut through armour...swords can't penetrate hardened steel (in fact it's near impossible to penetrate with a Bec de Corbin spike or beak.) Crossbows did not take an entire minute to load. His statement about swords shattering was rubbish, Before the age of Blast furnaces and tempered steel Europe blades were often more soft than brittle and were more likely to bend than to chip...let alone shatter. Again inaccurate looking weapons that are largerly oversized and weighted.... The costume mail in the video appears to be *butted* and not riveted, it also appears to either be cheap steel...or more likely, aluminium. Axes were not unwieldy or inaccurate....Swords were not battlefield weapons generally. Falchion's do not cleave through mail. Later period swords actually tended to become increasingly longer (especially with superior quality steel.) Maces are again lighter than the 4-6lb figure....closer to 2-6lbs (With a lot of variation, many sitting on the lower end.) Many weigh in the 800-1.5 kg range. You don't crack armour with the hammer end of a warhammer...or any end...the spike didn't puncture plate. Slicing through a wooden shaft (lmfao.) Suggesting that Leather was a common form of armour...let alone the common soldier could afford, suggesting that mail was cheap (it was about as/more expensive than plate harness in the 15th Century....)the common soldier wore low quality plate armour. That 10 lb figure for the Bill is wrong....they were around 1.5-2.5 kg...that's about 3.5/4-7lbs.... There's just more of the same really throughout. I want you to watch the video on youtube "MIDIEVAL WEAPONS AND COMBAT - Knights Armor (MIDDLE AGES BATTLE HISTORY DOCUMENTARY)"

There's a big difference between a mounted knight and one on foot. On foot a knight is vulnerable mainly because the armor is heavy and restricts movement. It's also difficult to see out of a helmet with a face shield, especially peripherally. If you are armed with a pole type weapon: spear, halberd etc., it's possible to probe for gaps or weak points in the armor of a knight, and cause a wound. Even if the wound is not fatal, it can weaken this guy who's staggering around with a lot of weight on his body. Better yet, if you can manage to knock the knight off his feet, he becomes even more vulnerable. A heavy battle ax or hammer can do lots of damage, even fatally, to a grounded knight.

The thing he shows at 06:41 is surely not an "estoque" or "estocque" (fr.) or - "STOCCO" in Italian. A "STOCCO" doesn't have any edges and is PURELY for piercing - even the cross-section is completely different, since a "stocco"/"estoque" had often a square-section at the base, turning slowly to a round one at the tip. It was moreover used by cavalry in late-medieval period - far into the XVIIth century. Polish heavy cavalry - especially the famous "Winged Hussars" used to call it "rozno" and utilized it when they broke their lances against pikemen formations - they would take it out and use PIERCING "blows" from above against infantry in disarray (that - at the time - did not use armour anymore). Even in the late medieval period it was used, by heavy horsemen as a secondary weapon after the lance was broken and they used to get INTO infantry formations, thrusting from above, especially if the infantry was light-protected. They would take out the swords (or in case of the Poles - the SABRES) only as a last weapon, for a cavalrymen fighting with it against infantry wears the sharpened edges very quickly.

He is incorrect concerning us not having any physical advantages. We do have some which came together in one of the oldest ways of human hunting. This was especially effective in the hot climate of Africa. Our way of losing heat (>sweating) is better than that of most other mammals, means we take longer to overheat. Add this to the fact that we can run more energy efficient due to only using two legs (>means more stamina). Going on two legs also frees up our hands and that means we could use them to make and carry tools of any kind, be it to kill or simply transport stuff. I forgot the exact name of this type of hunting but it comes down to seperating the selected animal (antelope for example) away from its herd and then chevy it on and on until it collapses. They actually are faster than humans but it will stop after a while to cool down and you can catch up with it. It has to stand in the shadows to cool down. As soon as you get close it starts running again. This will repeat, but the intervalls of running away and time to cool down will diminish until they collapse from heat. It's pretty easy from there on out. Negatives? Yes, it takes very long this way but you get enough meat (+hide/horn etc.) for a lot of people and some days. Just get the guts out immdeiately.

@JimGiant
@JimGiant 7 жыл бұрын
Persistence hunting is extremely rare and I don't know of any evidence to suggest it was the norm in the past. It has just as much to do with planning as it does stamina. We weren't stupid so wouldn't just chase an animal at random, we'd do everything in our power to put the odds in our favor. Make sure we are well fed, hydrated and rested before hunting (while the animal isn't), use team work, go for the weakest target etc. I could certainly be wrong but my guess is that once we stood upright and had the ability to skin animals this allowed losing our fur to act as a sexual display by relieving more of our musculature. It would have also helped up cool down considerably but I suspect this was more of a happy accident than the primary driving force in losing fur. Our main strength is being good all rounders IMO. There are a few things we;re really good at but very little we absolutely suck at.

But he should do the same to you first- unless he doesn't have a fucking clue, which appears to be the case.

There are so many faults with this but what makes me cringe the most even only 5 min in, is that he says a sword or axe can just cut right through mail -_- Someones been watching too many movies or used a Really shitty mail such as butted.

I thought the falchion was invented BECAUSE it was shit against armors. Sometimes they used to ban knight killers like pointy swords and so people had to arm themselves with stuff like the falchion. As long as it couldnt kill knights/nobles they were legal. Also no way you can pierce plate with bows/crossbows/stabs , not late period plates at least. Actually nvm this guy is wrong about everything.

3:40 That sword is literally wobbling when he put it in the ground. How is that considered a sword, and not an ornament piece? If you brought that wobbly, weak "Sword" into battle, you would get your ass killed.

The medieval portion was interesting but the early man section really just shows than mankind would not have survived as a species given the time frame. I guess that's why it's the "theory" of evolution.

bro... lol... that is like 20 gauge armor? Try using at least 8 gauge that has been well made and well tempered. Your sword would die. Some armors were fagaysi, but good one including chainmail was impossible unless you had some heavy duty weapons.

Why would you use this? The host doesn't know shit about medieval combat, and the writers don't either, nor does the people who deal with supplies. they used butted mail in stead of actual rivited mail to see how it would endure against weapons, which is the same as using plastic foil as the windshield for a spaceshuttle. the plate "armour" they used is made of stainless steel, which is good for kitchen equipment, but simply useless for armour. I could go on, but then i'd just waste all my time typing..
