No. But you can tell me if you want.Hobbes' Choice wrote:Anyone like to guess the date of these weapons?
Okay, I'll say 20th century or later? Maybe 19th?
Re: Nut Crushers
Googling would help, but I'll guess the middle ages. The mace is the clue for me. Also, the somewhat crude ornamentation, seemingly pre romantic.

Ha - WWI trench maces for sale. Just goes to show how primitive we were not long ago. One hundred years between middle age style weapons and drone bombers.Dalek Prime wrote:I was right.

Trench warfare was brutal. Figuratively medieval.Greta wrote:Ha - WWI trench maces for sale. Just goes to show how primitive we were not long ago.

Morning star and mace. Nasty on the head. But I'll warrant that the bayonet was a worse way to go.

Probably a longer bleed time, and infection, yes.Immanuel Can wrote:Morning star and mace. Nasty on the head. But I'll warrant that the bayonet was a worse way to go.

Re: Nut Crushers
Seems like a hobby done last month or something like that to me (or it has been restored).
Now you say it has 600 years XD.
I couldn't wait for the answer. Lol, ww1 XD.

A nice clean cut and bleed out. A mace would cause contusions multiple internal bleeding and far more pain.

Re: Nut Crushers
In the trenches the rifle and bayonets proved too long and difficult to use. So there was a cottage industry built up in hand made weapons, such as empty grenades on heavy sticks, and then people started to make flails and morning stars again.TSBU wrote:Seems like a hobby done last month or something like that to me (or it has been restored).

This was the reality of hand-to-hand.

Re: Nut Crushers
Bayonets were not "a clean cut." Not at all. They were used "stab-twist-pull." And that groove along the blade created suction with the intestines. Used to full effect and directed at the torso, everything inside came outside. Nasty, nasty, nasty.Hobbes' Choice wrote:No way.Immanuel Can wrote:Morning star and mace. Nasty on the head.

Soldiers in WW1 were in abject terror of the bayonet because of this.
