  • Dam that top frame is brutal but also the dude with the spear he must have some skills or hidden muscle lol stopped a dude with bigger biceps and was able to lay the blow i guess if he nails him he loses strength but wow.

    The mass and momentum of a larger opponent can be used against him if the spear bearer knows how to couch his spear and allow his attacker to impale himself before reaching attack range for a smaller knife. The bigger attacker had never before thought of such a thing from the look on his face.

    Just cus he has a small frame doesnt mean he's lacking muscle wise.
    Bulk by nooooo means translates to strength take it from me.

    thought i'd pitch a response since i do occasionally do HEMA. Spears are just a pointy stick, and is much easier to use in combat than a sword/axe/knife since point end at foe...

    Given that claymores are directional explosives, it makes sense to label the side that explodes ^^

    no, im talking additional labeling, the claymore already has "front towards enemy" on the explodey side, but i've seen people grafitti them incase it wasnt obvious which was is it supposed to go.

    Exactly. I've put in a fair amount of practice fighting with a spear and they are very effective, especially against opponents that haven't trained against them.

    Having worked in retail, that's understandable. Some people are just fucking idiots who refuse to read anything that doesn't jump in their face.

    I've had a woman have a sign literally two feet from her face at eye-level that said all of our turkeys are on sale, just pointing into the deli-meats case at a display shelf I can't see because I'm standing behind the counter, just repeating "the one that's on sale" every time I try to get her to clarify which one, until I finally have to go "yes, we have eight different kinds. They're all on sale. Which one did you want?" before she tells me the specific flavor, and then she has the fucking audacity to go complain to management that I was being condescending.
