@@tmr10059 What is neglected to be told here is that machine guns in that era (and now) have interchangeable barrels because they get hot quickly. In the heat of suppressive fire, crews wouldn't change barrels (cuz you know). The barrels get red-hot. The sword hits the barrel and easily bends the barrel and chops a nice dent into it, rendering it useless. You could replicate the damage they did with just about any metal tool, or even a big stick. It doesn't take much force to move hot steel and render a tight-tolerance mechanism inoperable.

@@alfiewenn9440 quite literally not. thats the one thing differentially hardened steel has an advantage over. spring steel can flex really hard and return to true, in exchange it can only ever reach an edge hardness of 48 hrc. a differentially hardened blade will have a hardness of less than 40 hrc on the spine, but 60 hrc on the edge, but in return, it cant flex nearly as much. a katana or tachi will dull significantly slower than most euro spring steel blades

There are plenty of ways to fight against an opponent in plate armor with a sword. It was specifically studied by those who would need the knowledge, such as knights, and was called Harnishfechten in German. The most well-known method is also one of the worse ones, called a murder blow, or Mordschlag (alternatively spelled Mordhau or Mortschlag). It involves gripping the blade in both hands and striking with the pommel or crossguard. This isn't what swords are intended to do as weapons, though. The best way is to use the off-hand to grab the blade, turning the sword into a spear of sorts and targeting the armpits, groin, helmet visor, backs of the gauntlets, and any place only protected by padding and mail. There are ways to do it. It's challenging, but it's far from impossible.
@@ThornForTheWynn Yeah, yeah, i know about halfswording, it was a joke, nobody needs your nerdy explanations.

Its also not that easy to stab a weak point plus you have the extra added danger of the blade getting wedged within the metal.

you'd just be blatantly wrong. that's like saying a mongol horse archer would destroy an assyrian horse archer, even when in direct comparison it's not something you can definitively announce. Keyboard warrior ahh moment for you bro. You talk about european iron* (not steel) being better quality than japanese iron sand, therefore downplaying it and just arbitrarily implying that japanese steel was "worse" than european steel, even though in japan there existed metallurgy techniques that produced the same quality if not more pure steel than that of european iron, of course that doesn't mean japanese steel is better, when in most cases it's not, but the steel used in both the armour and weapon of a samurai were expected to be of the highest quality. All of this is completely redundant though, because the metal in their armour wouldn't make a difference because... both of them would be using polearms or firearms anyways, depending on the time period, so the type of armour literally doesn't matter anyways.
Are you stupid? This is archival footage from original medieval videographers. They just kept it on an SSD so it wasn't corrupted too bad. You can still see some artifacting, though...
Plate armor protects nearly 100% against slashing attacks, unless in the armpit or the neck. Those are the weak spots. The most effective way to attack someone in plate successfully is an assisted direct thrust. Many militaries that used plate armor in the past would train their plate wearers how to Parry against thrusting attacks from estocs (piercing swords) more than anything else because that's what would save their life in plate Armor.
idk if you're aware of this, but buhurt/armored combat bans the use of stabs BECAUSE it can cause lethal damage. This is still a sport, not a fight to the death.
Aaand Knights wore gorgets to protect their neck and rondels and mail to protect their armpits soooo was there really a weak pint? Eye holes in the helmet I guess....if anyone could actually get to them.
@@Knightstruth The right thrust can go straight through plate armor, if the sword is sharp and rigid enough. Traditionally plate armor was usually mass manufactured at times of war, which meant a lot of it was not super thick, But same goes for the swords too, whereas a tempered sword would go through plate armor easier, when swords are mass manufactured in times of war, there's no time for tempering every sword. Also a tempered sword hit hard enough from the side can shatter. Im just basing this off of discovery, and history channel programs 😀 in no expert, i just find medieval combat to be one of the most interesting times.
There's no way you're thrusting through plate armour. A sword that is rigid enough to attempt that is a sword that's going to shatter when you do it. Even wrought iron cannot be thrusted through. As for tempered steel, even less so. It's the main reason heavy, blunt weapons like hammers and maces were in vogue. The only way to kill someone in plate with a thrust, is to thrust where the plate isn't.
feel like the knight should have taken advantage of the superior length of the longsword and used more thrusting attacks but yes those parries from the samurai where clean af
@@jaredflynn3750 I don't think thrusting attacks are allowed as they could legititmately cause injury, which is why the samurai has a big advantage here
longsworder's main issue is he stayed high and didn't shift his guard. You see in the beginning exchange he is perfectly able to perform the same moves the samurai does, but after that first exchange he stayed in high guard/strike and didn't go up and down while the samurai did.
@@shrigmafit2730 longsword can do everything a katana/no dachi can and you see that in the first exchange. The whole "the katana is better at slashing" has been repeatedly debunked as the curve of the blade does almost nothing in that regard a normal longsword doesn't. Thrusts aren't used because a thrust is a longrange attack while closing/retreating. These 2 stayed close where it's all about the slash which is fast and mobile.
The more advanced civilizations have always feared tribals for some reason. The romans feared the Germans and almost everyone knew of the vikings. Similar cases all over asia where the more advanced cultures feared tribals and still do.
@@chong_murdereronthemicit's because the more advanced a civilization is, the more "rules" it has whereas tribals or so-called "savages" will either play by their own rules, which oftentimes all boil down to "might makes right", or just straight up ignore all rules and go monke. Like a knight/samurai can request a one-on-one duel with victory riding on the result and their opponent will have to follow suit in order to save face, but savages can pretend to accept said duel then play dirty or zerg rush you because "pride" or "shame" has no place in their way of life, only "survival of the fittest".

Its dimensions can vary depending on factors such as the period in which it was made, the specific school of swordsmithing, and the intended user.

There's plenty of manoeuvres and plays to be used within European sword art that don't involve stabs. Its also not that easy to stab a weak point plus you have the extra added danger of the blade getting wedged within the metal.
This guys problem is that he's going for the head with the same high guarded attack leaving his lower body completely open which is why the samurai only has to deflect then attack the leg and body. Its simply the difference between skill levels
And thus, the mace was invented

Yeah samurai repro armor is probably not a great thing to have for practice fight. Too many openings and soft spots. The same way the knight guy is not wearing chain. Plate is just much more protective against blunt force.

lmao, in the era the samurai had guns the Europeans just had better guns, artillery, armor that is possible to stop guns with, and other such@@averageeughenjoyer6429
you'd just be blatantly wrong. that's like saying a mongol horse archer would destroy an assyrian horse archer, even when in direct comparison it's not something you can definitively announce. Keyboard warrior ahh moment for you bro.
You talk about european iron* (not steel) being better quality than japanese iron sand, therefore downplaying it and just arbitrarily implying that japanese steel was "worse" than european steel, even though in japan there existed metallurgy techniques that produced the same quality if not more pure steel than that of european iron, of course that doesn't mean japanese steel is better, when in most cases it's not, but the steel used in both the armour and weapon of a samurai were expected to be of the highest quality.
All of this is completely redundant though, because the metal in their armour wouldn't make a difference because... both of them would be using polearms or firearms anyways, depending on the time period, so the type of armour literally doesn't matter anyways.

Plate armor protects nearly 100% against slashing attacks, unless in the armpit or the neck. Those are the weak spots. The most effective way to attack someone in plate successfully is an assisted direct thrust. Many militaries that used plate armor in the past would train their plate wearers how to Parry against thrusting attacks from estocs (piercing swords) more than anything else because that's what would save their life in plate Armor.
idk if you're aware of this, but buhurt/armored combat bans the use of stabs BECAUSE it can cause lethal damage.
This is still a sport, not a fight to the death.
@@TheSteam02 I'm aware people aren't trying to kill each other in competitions, I'm talking about medieval training practices
Aaand Knights wore gorgets to protect their neck and rondels and mail to protect their armpits soooo was there really a weak pint? Eye holes in the helmet I guess....if anyone could actually get to them.
@@Knightstruth The right thrust can go straight through plate armor, if the sword is sharp and rigid enough. Traditionally plate armor was usually mass manufactured at times of war, which meant a lot of it was not super thick, But same goes for the swords too, whereas a tempered sword would go through plate armor easier, when swords are mass manufactured in times of war, there's no time for tempering every sword. Also a tempered sword hit hard enough from the side can shatter.
Im just basing this off of discovery, and history channel programs 😀 in no expert, i just find medieval combat to be one of the most interesting times.
There's no way you're thrusting through plate armour. A sword that is rigid enough to attempt that is a sword that's going to shatter when you do it. Even wrought iron cannot be thrusted through. As for tempered steel, even less so. It's the main reason heavy, blunt weapons like hammers and maces were in vogue. The only way to kill someone in plate with a thrust, is to thrust where the plate isn't.

Agreed, the longsword tops the katana any day but the samurai dude had some nice footwork and parrys.
feel like the knight should have taken advantage of the superior length of the longsword and used more thrusting attacks but yes those parries from the samurai where clean af
@@jaredflynn3750 I don't think thrusting attacks are allowed as they could legititmately cause injury, which is why the samurai has a big advantage here
longsworder's main issue is he stayed high and didn't shift his guard. You see in the beginning exchange he is perfectly able to perform the same moves the samurai does, but after that first exchange he stayed in high guard/strike and didn't go up and down while the samurai did.
@@shrigmafit2730 longsword can do everything a katana/no dachi can and you see that in the first exchange. The whole "the katana is better at slashing" has been repeatedly debunked as the curve of the blade does almost nothing in that regard a normal longsword doesn't.
Thrusts aren't used because a thrust is a longrange attack while closing/retreating. These 2 stayed close where it's all about the slash which is fast and mobile.
Ah that must be one of those Portuguese samurai fighting styles

a Knight vs a Samurai, made me realize why Vikings were terrifying
The more advanced civilizations have always feared tribals for some reason. The romans feared the Germans and almost everyone knew of the vikings. Similar cases all over asia where the more advanced cultures feared tribals and still do.
@@chong_murdereronthemicit's because the more advanced a civilization is, the more "rules" it has whereas tribals or so-called "savages" will either play by their own rules, which oftentimes all boil down to "might makes right", or just straight up ignore all rules and go monke.
Like a knight/samurai can request a one-on-one duel with victory riding on the result and their opponent will have to follow suit in order to save face, but savages can pretend to accept said duel then play dirty or zerg rush you because "pride" or "shame" has no place in their way of life, only "survival of the fittest".
@@hakugen3479 I don't know where you get your information from. Can't relate. I'm a Himalayan tribal. None of what you say matches our society. We do have our own functioning laws and systems that everyone abides by. And forgive me if I offend you but you seem to be saying all this through what social media depicts and through guessing.
That's not how tribals are. (Atleast not in my place) (It is completely possible that there might be tribes like that I guess. Haven't witnessed such though).
We have well functioning society and the only reason they feared us is because they see us as wild (mind you, we have the same houses as them supposed civilized ones and sometimes even better houses)🤣. The reason they see us as wild is because we follow our traditional Shamanistic religions which they label as outdated or pagan. (It makes no sense to label them that way because there's no such thing as outdated religion. It's imaginary stuff you're praying to anyway so that's like saying your imaginary friend is more real than my imaginary friend). Such and such.
I hope you get some correct info on tribals. You can email me at miseklimbu974@gmail . com if you want proper information, videos and stuff on our culture and society. The only difference is, you guys forgot your roots and titled it as becoming "modern". We on the other hand still love to be tribal and to belong to a tribe.
Is that a For Honor reference?
@@hakugen3479 exactly!
I imagine while Knights and Samurai were fighting with rules, techniques and a certain mindset "dangerous to be against" their main objective was to fight other warriors
While Vikings were slaughtering everything in their path.. while feasting, r*ping, plunder and execute anyone and everything in their path.. that made them even more dangerous than Mongols.. due to "kill first, ask questions later"

Its dimensions can vary depending on factors such as the period in which it was made, the specific school of swordsmithing, and the intended user.
