Metal armour being common was half the point of the crossbow, and a crossbow is not some "too poor for real weapons or armour" piece of kit, so it's a tricky combination to find images of. They'll usually be wearing at least a helmet.

And it's not like the middle ages had a lot of "No, I'm specced for agility" going on.
Armour is just a really good idea.

I more or less meant more gambeson/quilted armor, not peasant rags.

Crossbowmen weren't always wearing plate armor, s'all.

>>43750489
Well "without metal armour" is a really impractical way to say "gambeson and helmet or similar".

Forgive my pedantism, but the proper term is arbalest.

You mean arbalist?

>>43750609
You know, not everyone is retarded as you. I got what he meant perfectly.

>>43750631
Forgive my pedantism, but the proper term is Arbalist, to differentiate between the user and the weapon, the Arbalest.

>>43750665
