I would love to be a crossbowman standing behind my pavise, chillin' 'n killin' and wait for the archers to run out of arrows so I could put on my freddy krueger like clawed archer killing gauntlets, run up to them and hear them screaming
>muh Agnicourt, muh Agnicourt!
as I rip and tear their guts then decorate my pavise with their skin
fuck archers
battlefields are too small for two projectile weapons

crossbow thread #4
I'm starting to think the same retard keeps making more annoying as crossbow threads.
Were already at our fourth crossbow thread in less than a day.
crossbowmen are the new vikings
Vikings should use crossbows they would be unstoppable with them.
that'd be fucking brutal
In Crecy the crossbowman were fucked by the longbowman.
Crossbows are hot right now. You can't stop the momentum
Why doesn't the modern military use crossbows?
Weapons of mass destruction are banned
at crecy the crossbowmen were sent forward before their pavise shields arrived with hilarious consequences
Impossible. Crossbows were actually useful and are horribly underrated.
This is just a forced meme.
so are vikings
Berserkers didn't exist though.
crossbows > bows
Tbh welsh bow have no chance to penetrate through whole knight's armor, maybe only through plate but at 100% mailchain or aketon would stop an arrow.
Crossbows were so powerful they were banned by Church
Too bad it didn't happened and anyway nobody would have cared.

They did but only against christian armies. And yes nobody cared
No they didn't, this part of the 2nd Lateran council is "hotly" debated. We aren't sure it was there, we aren't sure crossbows were included if it was.
Crossbows were basically weapons of mass destruction in that age
You could literally snipe knights from 300m away
>muh ebin forbidden weapon meme xD
the same pope also banned archery and torunaments and no one listened why people keep cherrypicking only part of his sentence?
No you couldn't snipe people, crossbows had at best an effective range of 250m and a killing range of 50. So maybe you could "snipe" knights but good luck doing something to them at 300m. Crossbows weren't magical death machines.
Sniper weapons aren't WMA now, I can't see why they would have been back then, it's an idiotic analogy. If you were saying bombards or greek fire, maybe, maybe, and even then no.
>killing range of 50m
source would be nice
no you can't. bolts are too short to hit anything further than about 100 meters.the longer the distance between the gravity point (=arrowhead) and stabilizer (=fletching) the more stable flight.
then how do you explain the picture? :^)
Photoshopped sea jew propaganda that's meant to blue pill the world into thinking they wuz warriors 'n shiet.
You get it wrong. You could shot at DISTANCE of 300 m but effective distance to kilink knight was something about 30 m
But the pic clearly shows a berseker therefore they did exist :^)

>This fury, which was called berserkergang, occurred not only in the heat of battle, but also during laborious work. Men who were thus seized performed things which otherwise seemed impossible for human power. This condition is said to have begun with shivering, chattering of the teeth, and chill in the body, and then the face swelled and changed its colour. With this was connected a great hot-headedness, which at last gave over into a great rage, under which they howled as wild animals, bit the edge of their shields, and cut down everything they met without discriminating between friend or foe. When this condition ceased, a great dulling of the mind and feebleness followed, which could last for one or several days.[14]
