Stop spreading this BS test video around the internet.

Thank you.

a couple problems with this:
>we don't know the quality of the respective weapons.
it is more likely that these are replica weapons and the katana is made of better steel than it was historically, as well as how the traditional technique of folding the steel has been lost forever, just like damascus steel forging. And the longsword could be made of poorer quality steel than it was historically.
>neither of these weapons are ideal for opening up plate
while longsword did replace arming swords due to the introduction of full plate, a mace, lucerne, or warhammer could finish the job much more efficiently. gunny also tried to put the longsword through the center of the chest plate, the part of the plate where the most force is dispersed hardly the weak point he mentioned they were normally aimed at earlier.

Even the comments on youtube are saying this is BS, I really don't feel like going into the whole "era usage/armor types/usage methods/ etc" bullshit right now, I don't have any sources saved because swords are outclassed by guns in every way. Katana is inferior to European bastard swords. Weebs piss off

Still a better option then to swing, miss, and crack the edge like a moron.

Fair enough.

AND CRUNCHES, FOR EVERYONE

Screenshot?

Nvm, found it. What a fag...

"I haven't looked at the video evidence"

I'd like to say go look at it and you'll see why people are making a big deal, but from reading everything else you said, I feel like it won't change your view much.
