| Topic | could a samurai with a katana beat a european knight? |

Plate armor makes cutting weapons pretty ineffective. Romanticism. If a katana didn't snap on the first strike, the blade would be irreparably damaged. A slashing weapon simply cannot cut plate armor. A force of a slashing strike is spread over a larger area, even a perfect slash cuts in a line. Plate armor is vulnerable to piercing weapons, because all of the force is directed into one point. Please also define "genuine katana". Using something that doesn't come from a movie or fiction book, and cite a source. I not being a jerk, I'm genuinely curious. --- Torn between two minds. Is either correct? Perhaps together.....but how? Can it be done? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
