>>6528973>most people never used a weapon larger than kitchen knife>most people have no idea how to use shields let alone block a spear attackYou see but I'm not those people. I've already proved I'm a medieval combatant so unlike most of bant I actually do know how to block, wield a weapon and use proper form to boot.
>let me pick a gladius, cause romans n shietI gave a perfectly sound reason in fact multiple sound reasons why I picked the gladius and can continue to give reasons because I actually KNOW what the fuck I'm doing. It has nothing to do with it being Romans it has to do with the fact it was a good weapon. It was short enough to be easily wielded with a shield while the curvature of the blade made hacking all the easier which since I'll be throwing lots of flat snaps I'll need that extra cutting power to effectively disable whatever part of the body I hit (probably the arm or wrist). On top of that the shape of the weapon made it easier for thrusts and stabs. Without going into too much detail they designed it to be easy to pull out of the body once you get it in. The handle is all but perfect for grip, the pommel is top notch design and you have a nice meaty hand guard that doesn't look like katana weaboo shit or longsword nonsense.
Sorry that you don't do anything cool but as an actual medieval combatant your meme shit amuses the hell out of me.
>>6529003>shields are badI'll see you 1ft in front of you where your range means nothing. Shields are not for pussies they're for people that understand in a skirmish you only have ONE LIFE unlike in vidya. Denying a shield is retarded and asking to die unless you're in a phalanx or with a large group to provide protection from skirmishes.
