Would a man in full plate survive a blow from a hammer like this?

>>34866688
Given that it's a blunt object and all forms of armor protect against stabs and piercing, it's dependent on the wielder
Given that it is Gendry Baratheon, who inherited his father's immense strength, yes, it can kill a man in full plate

I'm pretty sure a mattock would be a better weapon

>>34866715
Blunt doesn't necessarily beat plate armor. It bypasses chain mail completely, but not plate armor.

>>34860268

>>34866688

No, because it's a 40 pound fucking hammerhead.

Yes, because the guy in plate would have to be absolutely fucking retarded to not stab the guy two or three times in the time it takes that dipshit to actually make a move.

>>34866776
maybe it was skyforge brand skyforge steel

or whatever special blades they have

A blunt weapon won't suffer from armour negating its edge. But armour will still provide plenty of protection by spreading the blow out, adding inertia to withstand concussion, letting some impacts glance off, any padding can soak up some of the energy, and such. Riot police strap on hard plastic plates to deal with thrown cobblestones, hard hats are considered useful against against falling hammers and spanners, etc.

>>34866688
STOP!!!

HAMMERTIME!!!

>>34866776
This.
>>34866688
Even if the armor wearer didn't have a weapon I doubt that guy is going to take a plated gauntlet to the face too well.

>>34866755
>mattock
We call that pic you posted a pickaxe around here.

>>34866688

A pine and plastic prop hammer? Sure, the wide head distributes the impact pretty well.

Are they wearing just straight plate? Cause that's just stupid, no padding with plate.
Good God, one must be slow to not wear padding for plate armor

>>34866799
>But armour will still provide plenty of protection by spreading the blow out
OP is talking about an armored half helm. It's a small ball of thin steel that a sledge hammer can cave in.

The 2nd guard he clearly hits his unprotected face.

>>34866870
actually theres a difference between the two.

Today, the terms 'pickaxe' and 'mattock' are often used to mean the same thing; they are however different tools. A mattock has a broad adze (horizontal blade) usually with a pick or axe on the other end of the head. A pickaxe has a pointed pick at one end of the head and a narrow chisel at the other.

Jesus that prop looks shit, I thought this show had high production values?

Clip and magazine friend

definitely stop a lot of knights. if plot armor is in effect, it'll hurt like a bitch though, even with padding.

>>34866688
I don't watch Game of Cucks. But plate wouldn't protect much from bludgeoning.

>>34866688
Warhammers and maces rely on concussive trauma so yes. Getting hit with this will incapacitate/kill

>>34870067
I don't watch it because it's a gay porno with a subplot. If I want to watch 2 guys fuck, then I guess I'll be gay instead. As it stands, tragically I was born hetero, and the show sucks. And it's literally gay porn.

>>34870098
I'm sorry the literally only male gay scene in the 8 seasons of the show made you jerk off uncontrollably

>>34870126
It was a lottttttttttttt more than 1 scene. You actually kept watching after season 4?

Maybe they knocked off the tag fucking because people didn't like it. Wouldn't know.

>>34870144
*Tag fucking

You knew I meant to say fag fucking. You fucking faggot.

All the production money went into the CGI dragons this season.

Your penis moved a little watching it, didn't it? This means you're a fag forever. Suicide is the only way out now.

>>34870172
>>34870175
To be fair, I don't like it when they show hetero sex either. I watch television for entertainment. If I want to see sex I'll watch porn or grope my gf.

So I don't like that either. But then it shows two guys assfucking and kissing each other out of the blue. LMAO this show sucks, defend it anyway you want.

>>34870191
It moved a little. Then I asked your mom to stop fidgeting with it.

>>34870191
Say what you like about the show, Bronn and Hound are /k/ as all fuck.

>>34870193
That's cool, anon. Honestly I struggle to remember the last time I gave a shit about any sex scene in any visual media. Just calling it out explicitly for the butt stuff whiffs of being closeted.

Niggah, I got news for you, you gay

>>34866756
if to the head or the center of the chest it would kill without penetration

>>34870212
We're on 4chan my dude. I'm being purposely obtuse.

It's like I said. I don't watch TV hoping they show tits. I'm not 14, I have porn and a gf. So when TV shows make it all about sex, because it's muh "hbo" so we can do that. It's just lazy, but sex sells, so I get it. I just don't want to play along.

Also my brother is gay and probably one of my best friends. Still doesn't mean I want to watch 2 guys fuck.

>>34870218
You caught me nigga, we are now going steady. I'm telling everyone you my bf.

>>34870245
True.

desu if you want to skip this but you still want some decent action, Strike Back is fucking excellent. Still suffers from some ott screwing, but it's a solid /k/ show.

>>34870273
This kid is buttblasted because of some sex scenes and you recommend strike back that has literally a sex scene every episode, virtually always gratuitous, and it's to the point it does actually legit interfere with narrative flow. Are you for real?

>>34870309
I'd consider Strike Back to still be a fucksight more coherent and with consistently better action that GoT. Especially recent episodes.

The problem is that it's rare for a solid action series to not try and use sex as a crutch. If you can give me any examples of shows that don't, please enlighten me.

>>34870358
Strike back is nothing more than guilty pleasure pulp. There's an episode where the love interest is shot square in the forehead and she has a 10 minute monologue after. I shit you not. It's retarded. GoT has infinitely better writing and production values than that schlock. Of course you shit on it because you're a contrarian faggot.

>>34868387
Back to 9gag

The face of the hammer is smooth and rounded. So it will likely glance off plate and not transfer all the energy.

>>34870245
Nobody except maybe some teens watch GoT for the sex scenes ...
The main reasons I watch it are the large plot, the medieval like context and the fact that they dont hesitate to wipe out main characters without notice

>>34866756
Hammers and maces were designed for use against plate wearers. The damage comes from the force of the impact being transferred through the plates right into the wearer.

>>34870693
And they had points to get traction on plate and pierce.

>>34866776
Go smash someone in the chest with even just a regular sledgehammer. It has more than enough force to stop their heart, let alone the damage from smashing more of their ribs.

While the plate does spread the weight over a larger surface area, it still won't be enough to save you.

Could you even wield something like that? That hammer head alone is what 50+ pounds? You couldn't swing that fucking anime hammer.

>>34871091
maybe, but it would tire you quickly. the main problem is the shaft is too thick. Gendry wouldn't get a good grip

>>34871091
If you make a living beating the shit out of steel it's not unfeasible you can swing a hammer at a dude

>>34871091
In the books his dad was known for having an over sized anime hammer and being able to use it effectively, I imagine they were going for that, though it could just be the usual ignorance on the creators part,

>>34866688 (OP)

Ever seen the police use the big red key to gain entry? That tiny thing can lay down in excess of 3 tonnes of impact force.

>>34871091
I guess they thought a legit warhammer wouldn't look impressive enough, since they're pretty small.

>>34871114
this is a series where magical steel, dragons, oversized intelligent wolves, ice zombies, giant humans, magic, shadow creatures, super napalm, and fire proof girls exist.

so the Baratheon line might have super strength.

Not even then all that weight all the way on the end you couldn't get the leverage without swinging like a tard if at all.

Like anime hammer or slightly bigger than pic related oversized?

this desu, fuckscenes in fantasy are one of the easiest ways for me to lose immersion. Books or movies.

>>34871388
Joffrey is a baratheon in name, not blood, same goes for all of cerseis spawn.

>>34871423
This. I don't mind if it like fades to black and implies they fucked, but when it spends ten minutes showing the scene it just pisses me off.

>>34871479
Don't be silly, he's his son. Otherwise he wouldn't have been king.
