Quote:One thing that always amazes me in movies (and in Rome the TV show) and others: what use is armor, if a fellow can just stick a sword right through it? Why bother with the weight and discomfort if a sword thrust pierces your heart anyhow??
I thought the whole point of armor was.... Oh, never mind.
Sigh
I have exactly the same frustration. In some movies soldiers wearing a hamata die instantly when they get a swordslash acros their stomach, this is even worse than stabs going through.
I mean, the armour used in the film may wel be knit and sprayed with metal paint but at least pretend it's made of metal :roll:
