so thats he gear out the way lets look at the knights as a person so again he will be of noble or “high birth” posh and well trimed. he will of course be in great shape meaning he will be a incredably fit person fast strong and skilled. he will be train to the highist order of knightly combat with a large number of different weapons from daggers all the way too huge and powerfull weapons like hammers and maces.

now people seem to have this thing for there armor being realy heavy and will slow them down a lot. ok do people know that the standard british soldiers have about twices the weight of a knights plate armor just of his torso? and trust he a train soldier and move run and fight in it with out must of a problem ok so back to the knights armor. he has aromr weighing about 45pounds sounds a lot right well no not realy he has that weight spread over his body, i have worn some plate armor that wassent even made for some one of my size and i could move swing a sword very easy with it pluss i wassent train from the age of about 5 to use it i dident use swords weighing 3 times that of real war swords to buff up my arms for battle, so a knights trained from the age of 5 to use armor and use swords 3 time heavyer than battle ready ones would have no problem what so ever fight with it so this hole thing about knights being slow is rubbish.

now the way armor works, (most of the time) armor is made to make the blow “slide” of the armor not to be super stroung and take it though it could the impact of most hits would damage the knight inside greatly,

now the saumri, so he has his swords he armor make from thin bits of iron or bambo. now again lets look at him as a person hes crazy about honor and pride two ever good triats, he is skilled with bows swodrs and spears, i dont know what age they are trained at or wether there nobility or anything, now if we were to look at a shaumris body to the knights body you will see there are very different for one thing the white brits are bigger then most japs its just teh way we are so the kights a bigger person 2) the way a knights was ment to look was brourd sholdered and thin schomach meaning he will have the 6pack the pecks and what not a very fit man, teh shaumris body if again brourd shoulers and large stomach so hes will have a fair amoint of body fat, so the knight is a fitter man over all.

so lets compare gear the katana vs the knights fullplate armor now if swords from britian at this time could next to nothing to a knights armor what hope dose a katana have? if it weighs less and has been proven to not be much sharper then over swords of this time the knights realy dosent have much to care about. the knights or the over hand could hit the shaumri anywhere he likes he knows all to well the the hammer will splatter the shaumri easyly in one blow leaveing him dead out right or blocken up on the floor bleeding all over the place so the shaumri is a little short of places to hitthe knight again pluss one for the knight, now lets get away from this knights vs shaumri thing for a second and think about this.

wy a knights vs a shaumri why not a british atrmy vs that of a japs army? now again there was a lot more knights than shaumri per army. so the japs main froce will be of pesent armed with a spear (probs) and no armorat all the brits pesetn will have the gearest bow even made the long bow its self would ravege the japs easy the main soldiers would be better train and better gear out than the japs so realy the japs would stand no chance againts a british army of the time, i thnk people look a the movie vertions of the shaumri and are like o my god there so cool they cant be killed they can stop bullets this there swords and can cut tanks builders anything in half and realy take it in, but with films about knights its not even true the armor never works people get hit with 1H swords and they die?? no its wouldent do anything at all a direct headshot from a swords could not play a nice game with the knights brain but he would die from in but then its not easy hitting somone trained from the age of 5 to stop you form doing so and to kill you first,

now many thanks for reading this im not trying to picks sides here its its raly hard not too when history is so onesided the knights had better gear they were trained highly and look great too XD please feel free to comment about what i have said but i must ask that we keep it mature and profetional ones again thank you for reading my post R.J.M
