The Best Historical Weapons That Don't Require Much Strength? 

Hello Shad, i watched one of your videos and finally understood what the others meant with you "Rambling forever" 0_0 Still the video was very insightful, good video. You know your stuff! I hope you have fun with whatever your doing right now! *Insert thumbs up*

he was completely wrong about the muscles needed to draw a bow, it is not the lats mainly, especially in the movement he demonstrated, that was rhomboids, middle traps and rear delts. don't give props when you are ignorant as fuck on the issue.

@@louiscyfer6944 my dude, calm yourself

louis cyfer lol roid rage much buddy?? lats are still useful for drawing a bow you aggressive man child

Why can I hear this text?

2 true bro

with great strength you can throw a massive Pommel

Brajany but you can't end him rightly if he kicks your shield into your face hard enough to rip your face open. and that requires a lot of strength

No, you need only Rightioness

DualityJack +12 Charisma, +12 Crit, +14 Endurance

Kamil Szadkowski Yeah I agree.

It sounds different for sure. It's not like he sounds like himself, but slightly sick. He does sound different.

I didn't notice anything wrong with your voice

I think your voice sounds good as well. It's a little more articulate than usual, I guess, which sometimes is a consequence from having some problem with your voice.

Kamil Szadkowski Exactly. Especially when it hits the lower notes.

something like suprice?

Janik Malkovich yes

you are a naughty naughty boy and you need to get punished

Janik Malkovich harder daddy!

Armored Gamer so someone watch to meny team4star videos

Nathan Cosgrove I am not masturbating son, I'm building strength for bow drawing.

But you're only doing short strokes?

@@nomadpi1 ouch

R1, R1, R1, R1, R1 all day every day. I keep one as a backup just in case I get invaded. I'm still biased towards Bloodborne, though. Pure Arcane builds are truly broken.

Do you mean they are really good or really bad? I'm going to start my first run through bloodborne today but I can't decide on what build I will go with.

Arcane builds are OP as all hell. Start out with the Cruel Fate background, dump into Vitality until you hit 40, then into Arcane until you hit 99. Get the executioner's gloves from Cainhurst Castle and the Auger of Ebrietas as soon as you can after killing Vicar Amelia. Feel free to wiki what you feel the need to. The early game is hard, but eventually you start taking out bosses in under a minute.

Sixteen fucking strength.

932vlad just get 15 arcane so you can use the hunter bone

lol

spøøky mike søcks I mean, it's idubbbz holding a crossbow.

you must now choose. will your use modern weapons that can kill from far away .. or use outdated medieval weapons ?

but but but a modern firearm cant cut through rice paper and a obsolete sword can that means the AXE is mightyer than the NUKE

Using high cholesterol with high sugar method adds body to a pommel to richly choke down said persons fingering the axe or belly buttoning the nuke.

Q U A L I T Y

16 STR 10 DEX is all you need. Dump the rest into VIT and END, slap some MLG gear on and git gud.

MLG gear includes MLGS, hahaha!

I hadn't though of that. And I forgot the most important part of the build too, you can't be a giant dad without "Well, what it it?"

Bass canon?

Aestoc comes after Bestoc.

Autism is Uncontrollable R1 your life...life cannot dodge roll that... win life

Same waht is ut ?

it is weird indeed

I stopped questioning mine after having listened to Harmful Opinions and Undoomed.

Sheol_IK if its still attack helicopter you're good

I dunno. Have you seen those clips of the Saturn 5 taking off? Every time I watch them, I get my asparagus staging all screwed up. Rawr.

But Shadbase also covers a wide variety of thrusting weapons

TheMorbidHobo no, it Shad from Shadiversity

TheMorbidHobo xD

I wasn't the only one, i feel better about myself now

I'd say that's a fair bet, yeah.

I'd say that depends, and deserves a better explaination than I can give; I am not an expert but some firearms can be heavy and absorbing recoil from some also needs strength, so you can discount most rifles, heavy revolvers, shotguns etc. Basically that leaves you with SMGs and Semi-automatic pistols.

Padraic Smith I would say that an assault rifle is perfectly manageable for a weaker person as well, especially if with a fore grip. 5.56mm NATO doesn't have terrible recoil.

Well, I was talking about the ones coexist with cold weapon back in the day...

T2266 Pommels are even lighter, and much deadlier. You just need good aim.

As I said, I am not an expert, but only somewhat familiar, as being a weaker person I've had difficulty holding a rifle steady whilst stood upright. The topic probably deserves it's own video on the matter. As for using weapons that were used alongside swords and the like, I would have thought they'd be even heavier, some muskets were very long and had large ammunition that would need a thick barrel. Furthermore, using such weapons, a soldier would often have to use it as a club when enemies approached, which would most definitely require strength.

Silver Chariot Pommel is superior in all ranges

Silver Chariot - Dane axe and pommel is the ultimate combo

the pommel is always the best choice if you want to end him rightly.

That depends, does YOUR sword have a pommel?

Skele Stone anything without a pommel cannot be used to finish him rightly. only to finish him leftly. this means talking him to death and isthus not swordsmanship.

Thanks. :)

ETIAM!!!

I guess I'll contribute with a somewhat late _DUNMAHGLASS!_

What's the news from the other provinces? Hello

Not an expert by any means. But either some bladed polearm like a Glaive or Naginata for that nearly inhuman level. And if you are superhuman, it can't hurt to have something a bit unwieldy like a large poleaxe or something like a big cleaver. Basically if you have the strength, it can't hurt to use something that a normal human could not. (Not counting speed.)

Depends on what you're fighting, but honestly? Bows benefit greatly from strength. If you can pull something on the order of a 1200 pound draw, your bow is hitting like a heavy crossbow, without the need to span it with a windlass. If you must have a melee weapon? I'd go for something like an igorot axe or a pick. If your enhanced strength lets you wield a top-heavy weapon with greater ease, you're the designated anti-armor. You're also a holy terror in a grapple, which is the other way knights die.

The Divide Don't you mean a single quark of his body?

Damn is this meme already 4 years old

Same thought here about the meme being that old already

And Sting is obviously a xiphos.

Know this was a year ago, but that’s because it literally is. Those elven swords were inspired by this Filipino sword. They had all kinds of professionals come in and demonstrate different sword types and their techniques, and it was a Filipino woman who brought this type of sword in and inspired them the most for the elves.

if your opponent has plate armor...

Meister Proper same principal for leather armor why try to cut through tempered leather armor when you can get through the rib cage by stabbing someone in the armpit the throat and the hands are also usually good points provided they are not protected in some way.

leather armor is not a thing

Georgica Ionica so the gambeson doesn't exist apparently also called leather armor for those not knowledgeable on the subject

The narcissistic cannibal Where have you heard of a grandson called leather armour? Gambesons are usually made out of many linen sheets...

Wt rings u got bithc?

Were you two having a stroke when you were typing, or is that an acute case of dyslexia?

@@JanetStarChild It's a Dark Souls meme

hah funny joke

I was almost expecting a Final Destination joke there. :P

you are incorrect as there were spears that had all of thoes

But the reach though and most of it is wood. Any person with any amount of strength could just pick it up and do just fine.

Tell this to the spartans! :p

An acute intellect is a good bonus for any weapon.

Zweihander, pike and halberd

Christopher Solares They were primarily used for cutting, and a wider overall profile meant more force behind those cuts.

Christopher Solares edit (Some of) those with a rounded tip are made for sparring.

Practice swords

there were historical swords with rounded tips, they were used as specialized executioner's swords. Quite a few of these survived because they were still ins use until ~1800 (in europe) upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Ep%C3%A9e_de_justice_IMG_3471.jpg/800px-Ep%C3%A9e_de_justice_IMG_3471.jpg

that doesnt explain the katzbalger however or woodcuts of german soldiers with longswords/ 2 handed swords with rounded tips

The parts of your body that need to be strong for mos tasks are legs, core and back. Forearms also help a in a large variety of ways, but your pecs, biceps and triceps, the ones that most people associate with visually strength, are linear in what they do, so you generally don't need a lot of muscle there.

Depends. Weak base is just weak, but stronger forearms means stronger hands. Strong hands alone let you do usefully odd things otherwise impossible. There's a difference between mirror muscle exercise and useful upper body strength. Something like Bruch curls, Blakely presses, and maybe PJR pullovers for example: Those curls give you explosive biceps for hurling/throwing, grappling, and prying your way around an opponent's weapon in melee. Technically, uppercuts too. Those presses allow your elbows to take heavy pressure in the extremity of flexion, so you can shove/drive/rake much better in a tight clinch, whether it's limbs or weapons. Those pullovers kinda connect the "jerk" of your pull-up strength to the "drag" of your row strength, which can be handy in grappling across the betweens, if you know what I mean. None of those will particularly make you "big" in any "pretty" way, so most gym goers won't ever do them, but the effects are significant, relative to bodybuilding versions or even powerlifting "cheat" versions. As a longtime odd lifter, I mostly only noticed when I stopped doing them that I couldn't function near the same, in a sudden clinch or general life. Grip is fucking huge.

To heat a sword to 1000 degrees would remove the heat treat, or temper from the blade of any good sword

Tarek AL-Jawi that's what the crow quills are

that's sure is deadly

"Weapons for strong people: Whatever they happen to prefer". Done.

Also, someone please disparage me for trying to greentext on fucking youtube.

consider yourself reprimanded

Nevets t. Smith is it a chaos infused zweihander?

Dairthe Something little similar would be the Japanese Nagamaki, it's a compromise between a Naginata and a Nodachi/Katana. I think there is a video around, can't exactly remember by whom, you might want to check out SnapJelly, KnightSquire or Shadiversity ;-)

Radyachman Radyan I'm not really sure that balance is an advantage or a disadvantage. It's just going to affect whether the weapon is better at stabs or cuts, and I'd have thought that this sort of weapon could handle either. Besides which you could adjust the weight of the weapon with things such as pommels and fullers, so you should be able to get a blade shaped like this balanced properly I'd have thought. I don't really know much about that sort of thing though so I might be wrong.

GandogarFS Thanks, I'll go start looking. :D

It looks to be similar to a Svärdstav, seems reasonable

Learn to smite them with psychokinetic bolts?

Hit the damned gym, son.

Ever wanted a Atlatl that's great for piñatas? Have a sling stick!

another advantage to a quarter staff is once you get it moving its momentum and the use of fluid attacks make it easy to get powerful strikes

Derek S Definitely not. Rapiers are about as heavy as a longsword, and need to be used one handed.

Really? I was thinking because they are skinny blades, that they are lighter. Huh

Derek S Think the same amount of steel, but in a much longer shape.

Ah alright I get it now.

Derek S You are probably thinking of a sword more like an epee. Here is a picture of Matt Easton comparing an epee to a more usable sword: i.ytimg.com/vi/f7zv2gRpgAc/maxresdefault.jpg

The legend is a lie, created by yourself.

Legend has it that its getting old, very OLD!

+JC Denton no it was created by the legend27 hahhaaha...never mind...

If you put viable argument in your comment then Skall will most likely reply. So move your ass, read some books, use your brain and commit something viable to the discussion. We're all gonna appreciate this

+Kamil Szadkowski who peed in your Cheerios this morning? lol as far as a valid point I don't have anything to add I was merely adding to a section which will be over run with pommel throwing references, which is my right as much as anyone else's.
