Did Chinese really use these weird armors?

>>71799941
what's so weird about them

>>71800049
It looks like a magical armor from some fairy tale

>>71799941
No, they had more practical armors.
>>71800049
Not practical.

>>71800072
it's not like every single shitter would wear this sort of armor, think of them as of regal western armors

>>71800088
does its job

>does its job
Sure, but not practical and chinese did favour more practical armors for battle. But sure, there were some that went with fancy stuff.

>>71799941
Looks like lamellar or scale armor.
>I dont see a reason why chinese wouldnt have used it historically
Overlaps in many places, which is good. For some reason it leaves the wearers face wide open.
Also looks heavily padded, which is also good.

Certainly officer/noble armor with all of its ornamets.
Really visiible for subordinates and face protection wont hinder his voice for giving orders.
I believe this might be more ceremonial in nature and for protection against projectiles, rather than for frontline fighting.

its believeable, even though it leaves armpits open for attack, which is to my understanding a big nono

Chinks used the same armor as Mongolians. In fact Mongols didn't really use armor before they conquered China and the armor considered typically Mongolian was taken from China

Did they have mail?

Why did Qings like brigandine so much.

I don't like the way it looks, what is the real armor that was used?

this fake stuff is not appealing

I assume Qing fielded armies where they provided armor if the recruit didn't have one.
But also the overcoat for people with armor.
So guess what ended up being popular?
Most likely they picked the best one for price/production/defence ratios as well.

Nice Chucks!

It is amazing how straight up medieval some parts of Asia still were when they were already photographed. This is Tibetan.

Same reason euros liked it, despite having access to better protection: so richfags can show off just how rich and stylin' they are.
