Where are their pots? If I'm not mistaken, each Janissary carried a pot and if he lost it, it was a real tragedy.Aqtai said:Well here are some pics of 16th century janissaries, judge for yourself:

Yes they were. Sipahi were essentially feudal knights, who held land in return for service.SanDiego said:Where are their pots?

I'd prefer to be thinking "Well, those guys are not shooting at me, because I just shot them from 1200 meters away, from thick undergrowth while wearing a ghillie suit and using a silenced M24 SWS."

That would be assuming you're in the perfect situation, the situation he's talking about involves you actually getting shot at so everything you're thinking about would be the equalavent of a child covering his eyes and thinking to himself "If I can't see them then they can't see me... right?! D:".
