Very interesting thing here. I love old swords and armor. Bring able to defend yourself you would have had to be in incredible shape. Arm strength to yield most of those swords and a lot of core strength to wear that armor to have mobility. It would have sight to see how armies did training back then.
I like the sling shots, the old design has stayed basically the same. The use of it has went from a war weapon to a thing kids play with. I imagine these were used alongside bows and arrows. I can see the users on top of the building shooting down on close targets to the building.
The gun really changed warfare. Intially battles in marched formations did not start with sword battle first but the rifle. Even though marching was much part of it until the dawn of the 20th century. Eventually the gun with modern upgrades made the sword disappear.
Good stuff I enjoyed reading and seeing :)
That's what I was thinking of too. Imagine just to be able to hold that weight all day, let alone fight better than your opponent. It must have been a tough task.
I would have loved to see them using the sling shot on the enemy. And you're right, bow arrows were heavily used and efficiently too. That required practice as well.
I'm glad you enjoyed this post, you understand these things better than I do :)
Have a nice weekend 🎣😁🐾
