how they use bows in movies 

Thank you for dying for realism

F

Alive right now minus 20 minutes

Yoooo only 4 likes!

Those armpit wounds are slow killers

Yeah, its so obvious

Unnamed goon takes a bullet in the stomach: Immediate death Main character takes a bullet in the stomach: Apply pressure and walk it off

Ahaha yeah he took those arrows like a total Boromir

Can't argue with that logic

As a gooner, I can confirm this, boss.

Beat me to it!! 🤣 After Sven said that, I totally thought Gus was gonna say the rest of that

He should have drawn the bow back as if cocking it and an arrow should have ejected from the quiver

@@idrinkyourmilkshake1882 Since pumping a shotgun is a double mechanism to load a new shell and reject a spent one, this is technically correct The best kind of correct

Yer doin’ a lot of gum flapping’ but unbeknownst to you yer speaking yer last words.

peak gus johnson inside jokes

indeed

Same lol

same

Yes

We all had one. But not one of us can explain where it came from.

Swole archers never get tired arms lmao

That's exactly what I was gonna comment :D.

And the fact that it's not a hairy muscular big man, but instead a woman. Women always have bows in every movie for some reason :D

@@Tapanitseini so weird that it's seen as a weapon for the weak, when it's quite literally the opposite. Pretty much only the strongest men could fully draw a war bow.

there's that Game of Thrones game that's in the same "Choose your path" style as the walking dead games. One scene you literally do this, you surprise the enemy in a tight room with a bunch of archers aiming at them, with orders to shoot anyone who moves but like, what if they just all move at once and you don't hit them? It's a tight room, you won't have time to aim a second shot

Omg belt fed bow

Lol yeah, heavy swords could crush bones though through armor.

Literally the only movie scene I ever saw that had realistic armour that didn’t get cut through like butter was some Macbeth film from the 1970s it’s not just a lot it’s basically all of them

Yeah. I heard medieval knights and soldiers didn't even clash swords that often since it risked wrecking the swords. Clashing swords is only really done in fencing. No way that would have risked their swords uselessly clashing them against armor.

@@SurprisinglyDeep I mean... I would understand that outside of combat but... using the sword in battle is the point of the sword in the first place??? No way you could fight someone with a sword and not clash metal with it. Unless your opponent is unarmed and unarmored. They definitely clashed swords.

@@guano524 While the combatants did clash sword to sword as well as sword to shield and sword to metal out of necessity, a combatant tried to keep that to a minimum since it risked breaking their sword. They mostly focused on swipes and stabs at the weak parts of the opponent's armor

Yeah! Which is what I liked about one old dude being unable to hold the drawn bow in the second LotR movie, during the Battle of Helm’s Deep.

@@DanAndHoe yeah, but them drawing and holding made no sense anyway.

You really must watch the latest Predator movie just for laughs... Literally every 2nd scene has the natives stalking around with their "bows" at 3/4 to full draw! Hilarious, yet painful to watch :/

At the range tonight I could only hold good form on a compound bow holding like 15 pounds at draw for about a minute and change before I broke down.

I mean, I kinda accept when the elves in the LOTR movies do it, because they are elves. I mean if they have magical ropes like the one Sam got, then whatever, I believe everything. But the same movies also have humans doing it, so yeah... .

even then, plenty of people survive objects piercing their brains!

If its in the torso, then it hit both the heart and the spinal cord

Those are clearly 9mm arrows. They instantly remove the lung from the body.

Kevin Costner: What are you trying to tell me? That I can curve arrows? Morgan Freeman: No, Robin. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready... you won't have to.

I don't think you guys realize the severity of damage that an arrow causes if it hits the torso even........

kind of like an arrow

I know, same here, I'd like to think I can survive the apocalypse with my 55lb bow and some broadheads. Probably not. Maybe good for a one off silent kill but your bow is only as quiet as your prey.

@@ChrisJohnson-yw2ky me, nocking an arrow: C L I C K

@@sleeplessarcher Says cool line. Nocks arrow. Excessive gun racking sound effect. Repeat.

@@sleeplessarcher I'm not sure how bad it is for my fitness/general health that when I read this, I thought of my *shoulder* clicking, and nothing else.

Prequel** haha

Alaca-blam.

@@paulwaltersheherfeministvl521 where did my reply to you go?

@@paulwaltersheherfeministvl521 I have no idea what the question is anyway. And I don’t think that unpretty is a word. You know the more I read it, the more I think it’s a joke…

also, it's Gus' most viewed video :)

57 more goddamn arrows in this 15 arrow quiver *eject*

The shotgun guy cant hit anything tho

Raiden: "You got enough?" Snake: "Absolutely." *points at headband* "Infinite Ammo."

Yeah like sven

But be careful, the 3rd one will get you. We know from LotR that 3 arrows is the magic number you die from

LITERALLY had you dying. My condolences to your famz.

You should get checked out if you cant laugh without dying

@@melissasven8087 Unless you're an uruk-hai, an elite warrior, built like a tank and wearing plate armour. In that case you die instantly if anything done by the main character touches you

@@zed_2ed929 you just roll in from Twitter or something? No one gives a shit about your drama addiction.

Ha

Until some point where he finally gets hit in the shoulder, the arrow missing all his vitals so he's still fine anyway

Unless he's the tragic mentor/love interest/rival turned friend, then he gets hit in the chest and calls the rest of the cast over for a short speech before he dies (which only happens if the wound causes them to cough up blood, otherwise they'll be fine)

One of the best? That shotgun video is THE best!

"PREQUEL" Bows was invated much early than shotguns:D

Ross is here!

Only 1 comment? Let me fix that

The lack of replies and likes on this comment is Hilarious to me.

@@pepperonipizza633I cringe every time I see a comment like this

Alright fine, take your upvote

Glad my brain made that connection

Wait wut

Thanks Gus, very cool!

Or some kind of medieval snuff porn.

Dunno how willing you are to keep on fighting with an arrow sticking out of your belly, even if it'll take days to kill you. I bet it still hurts a lot, and most people don't shrug off pain like a protagonist can. I would rather imagine a movie where a lot of people are just lying on the ground screaming in agony, or making a run for it while bleeding out, or crawling to cover with their wounds :D

@@puppyenemy To be honest, being shot with an arrow was most likely to happen in the middle ages. My point, though, is that most if not everyone was religious back then, and weren't as shocked or worried about dying, and death happened often so people were mostly desensitized. Contrarily, adrenaline in a fight dulls pain receptors, especially if you *are* worried about dying. Often, even fabric armor (aka gambeson) was enough to stop the arrow from entering very deep, which is easy to fight through in that case. Rarely even a 200 lb warbow could pierce plate armor tho. Additionally, in medieval combat manuscripts, there were scenarios written out for the case that an opponent is stabbed all the way through and continues to fight. Which is also why in HEMA, after landing a hit, you must make sure to block during your retreat and defend from you oppenent while you wait for them to collapse from their injuries. Because pain, especially intense pain, is largely a delayed reaction. Hollywood logic is further from reality than you may think. If you ever try to objectively look at a hollywood fight in slow motion through the lens of practicality, unless you're desensitised the the holes in it, it really is played up majorly for the camera and a terrible way to fight usually. (sorry for the tangential book)

@@supersolomob422 I get the endorphin rush and everything, but also there's a good chance that one with an arrow in them recognizes intellectually that they are likely to die of infection. Not to mention it takes a while for those endorphins to rush in the first place. Plus, there's still real damage there and a shot to your torso would've made it hard to walk, not to mention a shot to the leg or knee. I could see maybe last stands being made, but not at "halt thief" video game city guard levels of continuing to operate.

@@fluidthought42 Definitely not able to continue as well, but they can continue. There's a reason they targeted the underarms, wrists, back of the knee and Achilles heel. Because those are all areas that, when cut, stop a lot of muscles from functioning and end the fight immediately since the opponent can't continue to fight back almost at all. Whereas, literally being stabbed through the torso, they of course realized they were already dead, so they most likely were like "I'll take you down with me then". Also, they most likely already had a lot of adrenaline in their system, since the rush most likely starts when the encounter does. You can ask anyone who survived a gunshot, they didn't really feel it at first, they often describe it as a large ache all around the area. It's beneficial for the brain to eliminate the distraction of pain when you're that badly hurt, so you're more focused on survival

@@Thel0ng2 if you hate gus so much why are you here? 😂

@@Thel0ng2 he makes funny vids but is a pretty shitty person. I still watch his videos but it baffles me how people accept what he did.

They always reach for the quiver to only grasp air lmao

Could be true. Example?

​@@purplerain6260 isn't that the dude who just casually curves arrows around a line of people straight into the middle of a target

@@purplerain6260 Uhm yeah you cant really compare modern longbows to the ancient times, right now quality wood and strings are used, back then the BEST of the BEST archers could shoot like 10 or 12, like the longbow men of England, Lars has practiced like his entire life, not risking it.

I figure that’s pretty accurate right? Three arrows in him, tries to keep fighting but probably just tears up his insides

Archery is great! Depending on the bow you use it is possible to shoot something like 10 arrows in 5 seconds but sure that won't work for a very powerful bow or if you have to hit something in the distance.
