Blunt weapons.

>>31003186
Mace to the dome.

>>31003186
It is called a fucking mace-to-the-face

>>31003205
This.

Arquebus
Crossbow
Lance

Going hand to hand in any age is dumb.

>>31003205
I said late medieval, not renaissance
Firearms started to take off in the 16th, not 15th century

>>31003248
That would hurt, but in most armoured fighting the dagger is the deadliest, as it allows you to stab into gaps in the armour /mail between the gaps
besides, the poleaxe is far superior to the mace as a can crusher

>>31003362

its not about penetration. its about giving the dude a concussion or flat out KOing him

>>31003362
>>31003373

Google "bec de corbin".

>>31003390

yeah i played mountain blade too, buddy.

>>31003407

I've actually never touched those games, though some of my friends spent many hours on 'em.

I just got into "white weapons" before I did firearms.

>>31003343
Okay, I will somehow give him HIV.

>>31003362
What is a flanged mace?

>>31003390
The bec de corbin is a fucking poleaxe you knave

>>31003373
No shit
The poleaxe has far greater weight and momentum than a mace, so is the superior blunt weapon
Not to mention it can be used to trip or throw them to the ground

>>31003205
>Not taking a high ranking nobleman who has yielded for ransom
Art thoU simple?

Just one slice of a katana. Duh

>not still using the couched lance
It's like you don't have a drop of noble blood in you.
If you could unhorse a knight in a joust you could impale him on the battlefield.

>>31003218
Nah not really, dirk through the visor will fuck them up, a mace has to get through plate, possibly chain depending on the period and then a gambeson which does a pretty good job, you can hurt people and no doubt, but throwing someone to the floor and sticking a dagger in their face will fuck them up

>>31003741
This assumes the man is unconscious or unable to move, trying to stab a guy who doesn't want to be stabbed and is in full armor is hard.

>>31003667
>mounted combat
Dirty Frog detected
A men-at-arms should fight on foot with his brothers

>>31003898
Man-at-arms rather

>>31003898
Pray thee, herald, proclaim that those of vile birth without four lines of noble blood please depart.

>>31003617
>hammer head, hook, spear combo
>it's an axe

Leave this place, serf

Throw burning pitch on them.

>>31003343
Cannons were used in the seige of Seville by moors in 1248. There is some evidence to suggest the use of firearms as early as the late 12th century. They were in common use by the 14th century.

Firearms started taking off big time in the 15th century, what are you talking about?

FOR JARL HAEDA AND KING RAGNAR

Horses are for cripples, anyway.

Form a lasting bond of brotherhood while you travel with other knightbros to beat the shit out of peasant knaves and die at an old ripe age with a fulfilled life.

Plague, you fucking moron.

>>31005793
Again, polehammers are poleaxes
All the same thing, just with different heads, but in all historic manuscripts regarding their use they are referred to as axes

>>31004390
I'm talking about handheld firearms to be used man vs man
>>31004583
Arquebuses were used in the 15th century, but they didn't nullify armour nor did they change the dynamics of war. Bows were still dominant and the fully armoured man at arms was at his peak.

>>31004274
Can tell you don't do HEMA, pleb
I suppose we should just ignore all the historic evidence that they called them axes.
Polehammer is also a modern term, and there is no recorded use if it in medieval texts /treatises

>>31008148
Handgonnes were definitely in europe by the 14th century.

allah seemed to have dropped the fucking ball when stinking infidel nomad tribes came and literally wiped the floor with a good number of allah's men, women, and children.
