throwing spears vs a heavy armored knight | Deep wood

Lithuanians used throwing spears till early 15th century. Good to know that they can be somewhat effective even against a knight in full plate armor.

[@samnunnink7575]

I'd assume their main issue would be how much more expensive they are than arrows, and the fact that you can only carry so many. Otherwise they seem just as effective, a good ranged option where if you get lucky enough you might end the fight quickly. The range of the bow is probably why they were used more, but in environments like this, where you're going to have a lot of cover, that probably matters less.

[@romgl4513]

@@samnunnink7575 Ranged options were always preferable, in a forest you can't shoot far, so spears are better, more mass, more blade.

[@samnunnink7575]

@@romgl4513 That's what I assumed. I do wonder at what point an arrow becomes stronger. I assume that with enough acceleration we could give it more force than the spear but I don't know if they had a bow strong enough to do that for most of the medieval times.

[@g4gaming809]

Its good to meet a fellow Lithuanian military enthusiast. Also I wonder if this is what a Lithuanian boyar would also look like in the 14th century, because the look is pretty similar🤔

[@АнтонОрлов-я1ъ]

@@g4gaming809 As far as I understand, the Lithuanian weapons and armor at that time were a weird mix of native equipment (such as Lithuanian pavises and throwing spears) with a lot of Eastern (mostly from Rus') and Western (Polish and German) influences. Since the warrior on the video is equipped in Novgorodian armor, I think some Lithuanians may be equipped like that, especially since there were cases of Lithuanian princes serving in Novgorod.

[@Metal94head]

aside from the production quality of the video itself, one can tell the hits are as real as they can get. incredible channel.

[@rickskellig4652]

If you didn't have armour and you went up against a bunch of spearmen you'd be so completely fucked. That must have been a terrifying end for so many unfortunate peasant level soldiers throughout history, getting relentlessly poked to death and there's nothing you can do about it

[@Leonhart_93]

There was one thing they could do about it: don't get hit until you hit them back. But as an average soldier you weren't expected to have 100% survival rate.

[@malatesta177]

We were waiting for this video after the amazing shorts you published eralier and what to say... It's gorgeous! As always the fights are as relistic as possible, the scenography is beyond beautiful and the filming is top notch quality. I'm a bit tired of always expressing the same compliments, you should consider doing something bad once in a whie, you know... Just for the sake of change. I particularly loved the double welding sword/spear, that's simple and clever. I have one question: the spear trown against you seemed somewhat effective, i guess that at least once hit a soft spot, but do you think that would be a realistic strategy? Would you seriously recommend and hipotetic aggressor to ambush a full plated knight by throwing to them a few spears?

[@dequitem]

Better than other projectiles! But I will test it in future with a collaboration with someone like Adam Celadin.

I had to do a double take to realize that both of you were holding your swords alongside the shafts of the spears the whole time, presumably so you could switch back to the sword as fast as possible when the time came.

He'd be too valuable to be disposed off so casually. There were cases of that, but rare. With all that gear on, he outright screams influence and money. He'd be spared. Treated nicely, until the family makes it "complicated". Actually, why don't you reenact a honorable surrender? With weapons handed back, even? It did happen.

[@romgl4513]

True. People were not eager to die, and to kill. These were, after all, a more chivalrous times. This why I think that close grappling and stabbing were a thing of rare necessity. People knew when they are defeated, and had preferred to pay in gold, not in blood.

[@bakters]

@@romgl4513 " *more chivalrous times* " Well, in the sense that those people invented the very concept of chivalry, surely yes. As far as the realities went? Later times, when the concept of honor was further developed, I do think were more chivalrous, whatever it might mean. " *a thing of rare necessity* " Not everybody who wore armor was a noble. There were no rules against getting rid of those guys. Not much gain in trying to keep them alive either... " *preferred to pay in gold, not in blood* " At least they went to war in person and risked their own lives. Many kings were either killed in battle, or narrowly escaped death. I truly miss this idea. I really do. No joke.

Small question, in a lot of these videos, you guys are going with some pretty aggressive half-swording-- is it possible to maintain that kind of grip in the case of a fully sharpened longsword? Even with gloves, given the force being applied here and in other fights, I would feel pretty nervous about attempting such a thing, as a layman observer.
