Pronak said: Serious question: How a shielded musketeer have could worked in the battlefields of XV-XVII centuries? A sloped shield could stop volleys while giving the user some protection while firing/reloading. The basic answer is there were countries that tried making a sort of (then-)modern phalanx, and it didn't work. Any armor/shield made of then-available materials a human could carry was generally not thick enough to stop a bullet fired from muskets unless it was fired from the sort of range they generally weren't firing from, anyway. Also, the only commonly mass-produced shields to even be mostly made of metal were bucklers. Most shields people think about when thinking of shields were made of wood and maybe had a steel rim because steel is expensive and heavy. Carrying enough wood around to stop a bullet and grant full-body coverage is basically asking people to carry a fairly large tree trunk strapped to their forearms wherever they go. |  | If new feed item from https://danbooru.donmai.us/comments.atom, then send me an email at funncymarioo@gmail.com |  |  |
