I’m aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

    When I see armor fights I always think of how exhausting it would be very fast. I’d love to see exhausted people gasping for air. :P

    Still, blunt weapons can still be 1-hit KOs or heavy hitters. But you don’t see that either.

      It is, honestly, not nearly as bad as you’d think. The weight should be pretty well distributed, armor doesn’t have to be all that heavy to stop a sword, and the gambeson is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for piercing weapons. Blunt weapons, well, those are going to be unpleasant pretty much no matter what. You get really hot though; there’s a reason that the Saracens did such a number on the crusaders when they were able to get them outside of cities.

      Wearing a plate carrier is, IMO, worse than wearing a gambeson and chain maille.
