So this is what white knights feel like on FJ

#10 to #3 - tittylovin (12/31/2015) [-]

That shield is retarded.
Also, men's fashion sucks so hard now. Capes are cool man, they're like a more autistic version of a snuggie.

that would make a good rhythm game song

#13 to #10 - admiralen (12/31/2015) [-]

Its not that retarded, looks more like the kinda shield you punch ******* with as well as block

#94 to #13 - anon (12/31/2015) [-]

shield design is fine, handle placement isnt

#117 to #94 - admiralen (12/31/2015) [-]

Depends on how you use it, if you just wanna be a sponge and soak hits its great, but it could work great for some fighting styles where you use both hands to fight, you know, more 1v1

#19 to #13 - epicactual (12/31/2015) [-]

Those things are heavy, you stand in a line with them

#20 to #19 - admiralen (12/31/2015) [-]

That one looks like its pretty thin though, and if you cant raise your shield that high you shouldnt use that kind of shield

#22 to #20 - epicactual (12/31/2015) [-]

Thats what I was thinking when I saw it, it looks like something you would use in a line formation, but its thin. Plate was heavy too, I'm almost positive someone in full plate would not be able to lift a shield like the one I'm thinking of that high.

Full-plate armor was only 15 - 22 kg (around 33 - 55 lbs) though. It was also evenly distributed across the entire body, so that the person wearing it still remained agile to the point where they could still jump, run, even do cartwheels uninterrupted. Videos here demonstrate pretty well how plate armor would basically do absolutely nothing to overall mobility.

Late 14th Century Knightly Harness Mobility Demo

Full firefighter gear weighs around 32 kg (around 70 lbs). This is including the fireproof clothing (jacket, pants, boots, etc.) and all the other fancy electronic stuff they carry around (thermal cameras, flashlights, oxygen tank, you name it). Since most of this stuff is carried either on their hips or on their back (basically somewhere on the torso), I would argue that modern day firefighters are less mobile than a late-medieval set of full-plate armor.

By comparison, the modern soldier (U.S. Marines, British soldiers, whatever) can expect to carry anywhere between 20 - 70 kg (around 50 - 150 lbs), with the same issue of loss in mobility that I stated above.

Furthermore, that shield's thickness looks perfectly fine. Although it may look to be just a thin plank of curved wood, most shields were around that thickness anyway. In fact, most shields were made out of wood instead of metal, because a metal shield is heavy and was used only ceremonially.
Shields were normally 5 - 10 kg (11 - 22 lbs, a bag of potatoes is around 10 lbs) with the express purpose of parrying rather than suffering a straight on blow. Even if the knight had to for whatever reason fully stop the attacker's strike, then the shield would obviously be easily damaged, but that's why they were made cheaply so as to be easily replaceable. After all, you've heard of swords being passed down the family line, but never shields, have you?

All of this is combined with the fact that a knight in full-plate armor with his shield, lance, and sword has trained his entire life since boyhood to effectively wear and use all these things to the point where it is basically a second layer of skin.

TL;DR: The notion that Medieval Europeans were anywhere near autistic enough to wear something they could barely move around in is an antiquated idea that started with weak ass faggots from the Renaissance that spent their days wiggling their dicks over the Illiad and giving women Atrophic Vaginitis.

As thanks for taking the time to read this wall of text, take one my favorite wallpapers.

btw bro

shields were wooden with a leather cover and metal trimming mostly, just like armour, it is for glancing blows, rather than absorbing them, but you're basically right

also for further note, tower shields are actually really good for charging with, angle it about -45 degrees or w/e and use it **** up peoples shins (fyi that's what riot police do, not just speculation)

#41 to #40 - epicactual (12/31/2015) [-]

Thanks but I was just speculating because I was bored

#42 to #41 - sirdood (12/31/2015) [-]

You're welcome I wrote all that out because I was also bored

#29 to #22 - anon (12/31/2015) [-]

Most shields of roman make maxed out at 22 lbs. That's not that much and I wouldn't assume that medieval shields changed from that weight much.

#47 to #10 - akarathesixth ONLINE (12/31/2015) [-]

That's a tower shield. The standard Roman shields looked kinda like that. But the handle placement on it is retarded for sure.

#4 to #3 - daentraya (12/30/2015) [-]

#112 to #5 - niggafromoutaspace (12/31/2015) [-]

www.reddit.com/r/multiwall is a good source for dual monitor wallpapers.

>>#88 is right, it's a widespread meme and has no single origin
www.reddit.com/r/Fuckscapes/

#88 to #28 - trollzman ONLINE (12/31/2015) [-]

i dont think that its a single artist, or on a single website, people just make them and post wherever

I could be wrong, but i've never heard of these coming from one guy

#110 - ryuggu ONLINE (12/31/2015) [-]

Can someone fix this one by adding the missing lines on his face?

Don't wanna complain, but minimalism is unnecessary with the One Punch Man one. He was already drawn with minimalism.

Okay guys so I went through an Undertale phase but I didn't find much "cool" or "epic" wallpapers (most of them are cheesy as **** ) so if anyone has some feel free to share, i'll post mine.
