Besides yours, Miss Sofie, his silver suit of armor is also cool. The armor can be either in complete parts of metal/iron, or just the chest plate, so there is no right or wrong answer for it. 🗡🛡 Even I have worn one before, but it would be heavy or hot.
swords are mostly ineffective at cutting through plate armor. this is why swordsmen used thrusts at the gaps at joints. as for the effect of axes and maces, and other heavy bludgeoning weapons... yes. they are very effective. this is why poleaxes / pollaxes were famous at the time when plate armor was famous. references: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5hlIUrd7d1Q.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mSQn1ufScSQ.html ru-vid.comfyOLRKvkb5k?feature=share
Western armor is cool, isn't it? I was surprised that even with full-body armor, you can move reasonably well. I used to think that armor was heavy and made it difficult to move, especially when covering the entire body. I thought it was more like the breastplate Jay-san wears, protecting only vital areas. But it turns out there are full-body suits of armor too.
Yeah, it’s easier to move in than people think, but for me the weight of the arms makes it hard for me to properly swing my sword for a long time. So having muscle is definitely recommended 😅 When fighting Jay wears proper full armor, but for this video he chose to only do a chest plate and then a chainmail shirt! There are so many different types or armor it’s so fun!!
