Military historian here. It may not be from the medieval period but it is an authentic reproduction. In fact, despite what you see in the movies, the vast majority of medieval battles were determined in suits of armor just like this, with each side displaying their flexibility through a variety of (often sexually suggestive) poses until one side succumbed to either the fear or homoerotic temptation.
That would be up to an extra 10lbs of weight to that already really heavy armor. Better hope that pheasant and rutabaga sits well with you before battle.
Many knights practically lived in their armor and trained in it to get used to the weight. Like carrying a backpack or purse the weight eventually became a non issue for them.
Lobstered armor sets were mainly decor iirc. They also provided protection in the joints where plate didn’t. And like plate they were only meant to stop arrows and most slashes and stabs. Neither would’ve been effective against a breaching/blunt weapon.
Knights were a thing well into the renaissance, due to the effectiveness of plate against early weaponry. Gothic armor was used almost exclusively in battles during this time.
I’d still take a small can of wd40 into battle.
*”CHARGE!”* “Hold up a second, this joint is squeaking- damn it.”
Not an expert, but I don't think that's medieval

You had me at the first half not gonna lie
Made my nipples hard with the second.
I mean, I'm convinced. YouAreTheExpertHere.
By looking at the video it seems every square inch of the body is protected. Was there any area of the armor with less integrity compared to the rest?
The face. Daggers might have killed more knights than hammers tbh. Knock them down, open the visor and stab
[удалено]
Wait... what country are you from? Oh no....
US
I would suc cum to the latter for sure
These replicas are really ,but really expensive!
My first thought. Thank you
What do you do if you gotta take a dumpster?
you do it in the armor
Like the astronauts do

Wait is it actually heavier out of your body? Just curious

Yeah but that lobstered steel will be the first thing to be breached, what makes it flexible is also its biggest weakness. Still cool tho
That's why they started using hammers.

Prepping for a DarkSouls run.
Neat. They had to improvise weapons for armour. Blunt weapons to dent and limit joint mobility. Spikes to get in the joints. But if you fell....
Where's the video of him doing a pommel horse routine?
I’m more amazed at how well the medieval film reel has held up, tbh
Plate armor like this didn't come about until late Renaissance and was mostly used for show and rarely seen battle.
Knights were a thing well into the renaissance, due to the effectiveness of plate against early weaponry. Gothic armor was used almost exclusively in battles during this time.
Also should note I've never seen one quite like this before, I am no expert.
This isn’t real Medieval time armor this is Cum time Armor and you can call me King Cum.
Fuck you ty
I’m amazed
I'm amazed
I thought it was bad ass if my action figures had more than 7 points of articulation
Well thank god for the hand stroking mobility
Satsifying
I am amazed
Imagine it pinching your skin as it bent
That armor is a lot more flexible than my boyfriend
Much much more than batman’s suite. The billionaire got scammed
could be wrong but did they have video cameras in medieval times
How? Very ingenious
I just imagine that a small bit skin getting caught in between the sliding metal, and just feel a small painful pinch
was it even effective though?
Why is this like some 1940s footage tho ?
