This had to be ceremonial armor right? Who could possibly

Metal barrels are very hard to break, it's a flawless design

>>3356289
You'd ask yourself the same wearing full mail armour lol.

>>3356289

wonder if theres a video of someone trying to move about in that

is that a reconstruction based on archeological finds or is it some retcoon based on reliefs or writings or somesuch?

It's based on a real thing, helmet is a little different

>>3356289
They used it on a chariot

Anyway the helmet is wrong, that weird weapon seems out of place, LARPers really are retarded

Central European bronze age armors were much more beautiful and more practical

It looks like very good protection.

>>3356289
Maybe not individually but in a disciplined unit shoulder by shoulder, I imagine that would be pretty hard to fight against.

From the Mycenean frescos at Pylos

Probably for chariot riding. Horses move for you so all you need to do is not get fucked with arrows.

wish they had more reproductions of bronze age Armour,shields and to a lesser extent weapons.Id love have a large cow hide shield and bronze armour. I wouldn't care if it costs a bomb

>>3356306
Until you push him over.

>>3356927
The arm strength to do that would be herculean, it's the ultimate defence

>>3356289
Just push him, he will never get up.

>>3356946
The armor doesn't give him magical leg strength. The center of gravity alone would make the wearer of the suit extremely ponderous and easy t to put off balance.

as someone already mentioned most historians believe this armor was meant for fighting on a chariot, specifically as the charioteer controlling the horses.

Also, you realize those faulds are loosely hung on thongs and will freely slide up, right? There's no restriction of mobility going on here.

also lol at all the LARPers giving their opinions like "I'd just cut off his arms and push him over" in this thread.

even if they were used in chariots what is the point?
A low mobile armor in a high speed vehicle is kind of dumb, it is not like people easily could hit you in the first place, and using such shitty Armour would just make you more likely to fall

Like... Hitting the guy driving the enemy chariot was literally the point of chariot warfare.

>>3357803
sure, but with such armour it makes harder for the guy dodge the hit, and a simple hit it would make you fall miserably

That oughta do it

>>3356443
Hahaha what

>>3357820
You're overestimating the mobility problem. It was not that restrictive.

Regardless, the chariot was primarily an archery platform. That guy is likely an archer fighting other archers. He's not dodging shit under any circumstances.

>>3357820
It's not like he couldn't move at all, and besides the point of armor that heavy is so you don't have to dodge every little attack. Arrows would probably just bounce right off of it and a spear would probably only dent it at best. Considering that the people attacking him aren't gonna have the luxury of taking careful aim for the gaps in the armor or getting up close to him, it's a pretty great set of armor for his role.
