So, I kind of have a weird goal, /k/. I want to pick up a "medieval

Get gloves that don't have the metal plating on the end of your finger, just the hands and between the first and second knuckle.

Probably get an open face helmet, but with any metal around your cheek you're not going to get a good check weld.

And just get ear plugs you dummy.

As for the second one, just browse around looking at helmets until you can find something that looks decent enough. If you can't, I guess it might actually be worth it to get a laser sight

Like the other guy said, open face helmets, ear plugs, and honestly, just friggen get leather gloves, or get a quality pair of metal ones, but that costs major money, yo. So does proper looking armour. You cannot cheap-ass something like this and look good. Good mail need to be either riveted or ridiculously small links if you wanna roll kebab (like 4mm rings), helmets should fit you and not look and feel like a bucket on your head, clothes underneath oughta be nice linen and wool... etc.

wow that was hard!

That's not as aesthetic as a Templar with guns

>>32408674
there is a very good reason why crossbowmen looked the way they did. and they can look pretty fucking dope.

you really have to decide what kind of combat it would be because the armor must reflect that. if it's ranged then don't fucking go with templar look. if they just bludgeon each other with ak47s then go ahead!

>>32408674
have you btw tried to ever aim with a rifle in a face mask? it's pretty much impossible. yup. forget visors! forget masks! unless it's shooting from the hip.

Hey now. Some crossbowmen looked positively operator as fuck.

if it's for a costume/ fun, imo a knight-type setup would be cooler *looking*
Also I have and I agree it does fucking suck

Little known fact-
Human eyes don't always point dead ahead

>Human eyes don't always point dead ahead
look at the red line it is crossing the very edge if the cutout allowing for maximum convergence with the trajectory for the right eye.

On the contrary, it is possible to sharpshoot with an enclosed helmet, just really difficult to do from a comfortable position. Here are a set from WWI. Turn of the last century gear was pretty aesthetic before camo came along and ruined everything.
