@Koda Reece shut the fuck up

When you know that at point blank range, slings had the same power as a .44 round, you begin to see this weapon differently.

[@weirdscience8341]

They have less ft-lb around 80 to a hundred ft-lb but more Newton meters than a 44mag they are around 5.8 to 6 the sling produces 6 to 6.5 crazy

They didn't show that fire dart through the air because the fire extinguished itself

Read 1 year later, true.. true, fire projectiles is false

[@alltimelow2345]

So we've all seen the lindybeige video on fire arrows??

[@areus2016]

Actually, while most did not use fire projectiles for that reason, the Greeks did get away with it in some cases due to Greek fire, which stays lit on fire even underwater. The make fire arrows, you would need white phosphorus. White phosphorus is easily made and it self combusts after a certain temperature. Heat up the phosphorus past this temperature and low and behold, fire arrows.

[@savednorwegian]

But what about burning rocks or pots on fire in some way? They probably didnt try it here because its dangerous lol

[@punisher300able]

So thanks to your great m.c.animations we have the opportunity to see realistic bloody -cruel battles in rome 2 game!!! Total war fans are all grateful to you people !!!

So awesome of him to say "Gordon's alive!!" Though I'd preferred him to say "DIVE!!!"

[@janbaltes2863]

The efiting in min 7 is hilarious. Put it at 0.25 velocity and you see something is of. Good video anyways. The part was just funny xD

[@TheReeaalNova]

Actually there is no evidence for legionaries carrying more than one Pila except for one painting. Meanwhile there is plenty of evidence for legionaries carrying one Pila each. Also there is no evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, that suggest that any archer, ballistae or catapultae used burning arrows/bolts. If you have trouble taking my word for it then I implore you to search up this information on your own.

[@nutyyyy]

So you watched the Lindybeige video I see

[@eamonnbarden8017]

@@nutyyyy I know I am very late to the party but if you look up Galbert of Bruges first hand account of the Siege of Bruges 1127-28, he says "I did this in the midst of such a great tumult and the burning of so many houses, set on fire by lighted arrow shot"

[@ArmouredProductions]

Ah Mike Loads directed this! He knows his stuff!

[@msf47]

So slingshot was like sidearm in that time you loose your main weapon u pull out your slingshot slingshooting everything around 😂😂

[@Raz.C]

ya young schmuck! Do an IMBD search for Brian Blessed. Should give you an idea of who "that old man" is and what he's done.

[@wwmoggy]

[@RealNotallGaming]

GET ME MY EAGLES!! GET MY EAGLES BACK!!! I WANT MY EAGLES BACK!!!!

[@Ksorkrax]

Can they do this *without* those ridiculous effects?

[@badguy1481]

I WONDER why the obvious advantage of the bow and arrow was discarded for the ancient flint locks. The fire rate of the bow and arrow was probably 3 to 4 times that of the flint lock...not to even mention the superior accuracy of the bow and arrow over the flintlock. And the "ammunition" could always be picked up, after the battle, for reuse. I think it MUST have been a case of management being enthralled by "new technology" versus good sense.

[@inawarminister]

Arrows can kill someone - but most of the time, he survives with a small wound and angrier for that. Bullets though, even from a handgonne (14th century) they kill, utterly. Also, armor. Even 16th century steel fluted plate are useless against muskets/flintlocks (pistol shots are defensible against though) Check that black powder gun vs lamellar video

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

It was a case of armour becoming so good that arrows were inffectual. It also toook a lifetime of training to produce long bow men, but very little to use muskets

[@TheAchilles26]

Most medieval armies didn't have archers, they had crossbowmen. The longbow required vastly more training to become combat effective than crossbows or flintlocks.

Only Parthian archer and late Seljuk archer who can beat Roman

Why is the teacher wearing an inverted cross? 4:55

[@Bartooc]

Because he wants to? Secondly it is a Cross of Saint Peter.

[@therustedshank9995]

@@Bartooc Pretty sure that's an inverted cross, which indicates he's satanic. Or maybe he just wears his crosses like that.

[@Bartooc]

@@therustedshank9995 Inverted cross is Cross of Saint Peter it was only later adopted by satanists. So i guess you would have to ask him what cross it is.
