[klokwolf]

yeah it's power is low but it was used by the Chinese in the b.c. so not much was needed.

Why wouldn't you need a powerful weapon, even though it was more than 2011 years ago?

 

[teh.frickin.pope]

Because you could have a **** ton of them firing at a very high rate? Possibly.

 

[Baguette Eater]

And bouncing off any sort of armor? Its like trying to take down a modern soldier with an airsoft gun.

 

[Austupaio]

Metal armour was even less common in early Asia than it was in Europe. Clothed peasants, the large majority of Chinese armies and their enemies, don't require a full-powered bolt to down, injure nor scare.

 

[Belisarius]

Just enough to penetrate the resilient paper armour.

Speaking of paper armor, has anyone constructed and tested lacquered paper?

 

[Eктωρ]

I've seen a show on History Channel about it once, they tested it against some crossbows and the paper armour seemed to hold up pretty well.

 

[Night Ninja]

Actually, cloth armour is pretty ****ing resilient and very resistant to projectile weapons. Just sayin'.

Paper makes no sense as armour for the common soldiery, even when lacquered. It's not terribly cheap, for one.

 

[klokwolf]

yeah just wait till they figure out how to put pepper spray into bullets. you'll be irritated and bleeding at the same time.

Type XX Sword
Simple, long, light, efficient killing tool .

 

[PineconeKing]

Halberd(s). Armour-cleaving, horse-stabbing, awesome-looking weapon of DEATH! I'll have you know Chuck Norris owns one of these.

 

[Conall]

When I duel I use a norman longsword. I did go to a wicked faire one time and felt the later century swords, and I was surprised at how light they actually were, a big break from the viking/norman type blades I'm used to. Better thrusters by far, while the norman/viking type swords are more so meant for cleaving and whatnot.
