Yeah the vibrations of a smashing weapon can cause massive damage even if an armor piece looks relatively undented. It's one reason why they avoid using those kind of weapons in sparring. You can break an arm blocking a flail strike using a decent shield for example.

It's just "warhammer". A one-handed version is a "horseman's hammer".

[@1stCallipostle]

​@@skepticalbadgerWar hammer implies those more two ish foot long ones. The bec is most definitely a polearm. You wouldn't call a Polaxe a "Battle Axe" now would you?

[@Coyotebriggs]

Man I REALLY want a sci-fi game to have a character with a high tech Bec De Corbin. Imagine what you could do with that, it could be a combined, spear, 2 handed war pick, and a light construct hammer, and let you swap between all 3 with the same weapons. Heck maybe all 3 could be energy constructs and you could even let the spike fire energy. It could be the main weapon of a elite militaristic nation.

[@pavelthefabulous5675]

That sounds like it could be in the Dune Extended Universe or something.

[@matohibiki]

Uh, you know you just described what the Bec is, when you listed those weapons, right? It already is a spear, two-handed pick, and hammer. The Warhammer 40k Custodes already have a Bec that can shoot. It's called the Guardian Spear. I'm not into 40k, but I DO want to steal the idea for a Pathfinder character...

[@Coyotebriggs]

@@matohibiki yeah I know, but what I have in mind is what Initially looks like a regular staff with a square top and a pointed end, but however the user holds it energy constructs form from the square top to take it's shape, almost like how the energy sword from halo is before it's activated.

[@matohibiki]

@@Coyotebriggs If you're making the business end of the weapon out of energy, then the shape doesn't really matter a whole lot, does it? At that point it's basically an aesthetic choice.

[@MushroomMagpie]

Picture a warhammer that takes shot gun shells and fires on impact.

The 3 different weapons at the end of a stick formula is a winner. You just have to pick which 2 you want out of Beak, Axe, and Hammer. Every combo is good.

[@Darthjoemo]

I love you guys. And thank you for the info. I visited a castle recently and was explaining to my mum about the bec. One of the ladies that worked there was listening in too. Only knew about it because of you guys, so thank you for teaching me so much about the past.

[@Pangora2]

On seeing the weapon used to penetrate, the opponent is immobile and they're incredibly open. Big open baseball swings. I think worth a test would be frontal attacks. When they do the test to extra the Bec, he pretty much throws the Doll directly behind him into his allies. Then he has recovery time where he is open and the Doll's ally or more could strike. In a formation it would be hard to get those horizontal swings. So I would like to see these horizontal baseball swings where the Doll's "Side" is the target, as that should reduce the flat, unangled surfaces. Also coming from the sides also brings arms in as a factor. The hit will still cripple a man, but less fatal. Bec test #2: Overhead vs Helmets.

[@octaviusmorlock]

His name is Boromir, sir.

[@1stCallipostle]

I feel like both piercing and crunching someone's arm (especially the dominant one) is pretty much just as good as a fatal hit. Like what are you gonna do with a basically dead arm to stop them from just... Swinging again.

[@Pangora2]

@@1stCallipostle well it's fine if you take out one guy in combat, but if you're so open you die as well. There could be two or three guys now with the same weapon on the other side. Again, they attack from an angle to get a full swing, discount having to dedend or multiple opponents. If you do kill a guy a in a single swing, but die as a result the weapon wouldn't have been used. My claim is they're missing something

[@dwaynethart6527]

@@Pangora2 if you’re fighting 3 other people in a standard medieval duel you’re typically considered dead already, regardless of the weapon choice.

[@Pangora2]

@@dwaynethart6527 no, it's because of you do a giant baseball swing your allies can't be near you. This is why spears reign

[@carlrood4457]

Nothing quite so satisfying as breaking stuff

[@WritingFighter]

I love the back and forth competition, challenges, and attempts at "gentlemanly" trying to leverage their way in taking turns for what they want to do. I will say though, I think Nate needs to work on the timing of his swing and Tyranth on stepping in with his thrusts, include the attack with a full step (though maybe these guys know this). Still, that the beak of the weapon could sail through armor without 100% proper technique is very impressive.

[@RepressedObeseCat]

Watching the wrecking crew destroy the chest plate, "can-operner" comes to mind.

[@jacobwatson4246]

Love these kinds of videos!.. or just any video from Shadiversity tbh.

[@vannersp]

True, it's devastating, but the most powerful blow comes from attacking sideways, exposing your flank. In a battle, you would need protection on that side, or you will go down too.

[@wheelsinmotion91]

Thanks, Tyranth. Now I'll never be able to look at Nate the same ever again. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HIS SWAMP, TYRANTH!?!?!?!?

[@nathanielsizemore3946]

I love your content. I hope KZbin gets its head out of that place and restores your ad revenue.

[@Asertix357]

I'm so glad to see that Tyranth's two-handed grip leads with his left hand. Why? Because I do the same thing even though I'm normally right-hand dominant. It just feels more comfortable to me, more natural.

[@davel2378]

Yup me too. Cant manage splitting wood without the left leading. Interestingly I read an opinion once that two handed axes would be used left hand forward to catch the unshielded side. Interesting thought.

[@cyrylkowalczyk9392]

Interesting. Do you switch it for spears? (most peaople use dominant hand down on spears and up for heavier polearms)

[@KaijuKiller76]

Another great installment! Bravo gents!

[@The_Judge300]

For the average soldier at that time, I guess the length of it is about perfect, but a taller soldier with longer arms that is more common today, could for sure benefit from it being 50cm longer. Those 50cm will give more power and reach when wanted/needed. It would make a very nasty weapon even nastier. To bad the Vikings didn't invent and made this weapon at their time and used it to take all of Great Britain and crushed the Normans when they tried to take England. I am sure Great Britain and much of the world would have been better off if that happened 😁

[@1stCallipostle]

Armor wasn't nearly so developed yet. I imagine it unfortunately wouldn't have fared too much better than the dane axe at splitting unarmored to lightly armored targets

[@DJRockford83]

Haha shadiversity is back in my feed, on the same day it's out!! 😁

Good on you for advertising the Shadlands, I wasn't even aware of it's existence until now! Subbed to it right away as I love your stuff but sometimes after a long day of work I just don't have the energy to watch a long educational video so easier to digest cuts are a delight to see!

[@bradbrandon2506]

[@regisdumoulin]

I did a bit of looking up to see what kind of soldiers could be using such a weapon as the bec... well, it was the compagnie of the "Gentilshommes à bec de corbin", in 15th/16th century France... and who were they? The personal guard of the king... makes sense!

[@gagarin777]

I think the spike could be used to finish off already downed armored opponent. You could just place the spike on the body and put your feet on the hammer part and apply force through your body weight - just like you would with a shovel. I bet it would go through chain mail easily.

[@charliebachelder4883]

[@legbreaker2762]

It's undoubtably good in the offence, but how's it go defensively given it eliminates the option of a shield? What weapon choice or combination would be most suitable to defeat it? Is your best chance to get up close, within the swing or stand back with a pike?
