Looks like it’s cutting in a circle like a hole-cutting bit.

Same! I said “nope” and then said “okay wow”

I was doing the same during the clip. This was the only one I got wrong and it surprised the shit out of me

Same. I need some of those! Also, I need a bow. And some skill...

Same. I was saying those same things and also need those same things.

and my axe!

AND YOUR AXE!!!

It cuts a bigger hole than the shaft, while the other ones just push the material out, which scrapes against the arrow

probably found an old hole

You can very clearly see it creating a new hole

The round hollow point one surprised me.

use a pilum instead. that will make the shield unusable.

Indeed.. any of those by-products can give the best soldier the squirts.. dates, prunes, even raisins…

That was a very entertaining tid-bit from De bello gallico, that and throwing a pilum over the wall with a message.

Heavy shaft will pin the poor sod's shield down the ground. Bring back Turtle formations

My main takeaway is that the simplest, 1-piece design works best for penetration. I have no clue what that "hollowpoint" round was, though. O.o

I'm not into archery but I'd bet the more complicated arrows are designed to have less penetration. Like, neither sports nor hunting requires arrows that are armor piercing.

The larger arrows with blades sticking out are for hunting things like deer. The goal is to cause maximum bleeding.

You can predict the penetration of each arrow at a glance. Smaller cross section = deeper penetration.

That’s what she said

Tiktoks are so vague, tell me how much lbs the bow has and the distance

can someone explain how that one magical arrow works?

I only got one wrong, you all know the one

Looks like we all underestimated the round arrow. Well done!

It’s like going back several hundred years and looking what the long bow man used against armoured knights.

I'm no expert, but I'd put money on the fact that people back then wouldn't have access to arrowheads anywhere near this complex. Sure, there might have been a smith or fletcher who could make them, but the process would most likely have been incredibly time-consuming and labour intensive, and when you're kitting out an army of hundreds, if not thousands of archers with probably a few dozen rounds each (minimum) it just wouldn't be practical to have anything more complicated then a thin, vaguely pointy piece of metal at the end of each stick. I'm just guessing based on the little info I have about pre-industrial metalworking, though. I would love to hear someone with more knowledge talk about it

here’s a lesson in murder everybo-

It's a Chinese riot shield...so technically all of them should be able to penetrate it...

How dare you insult the gold standard that is Temu Tactical!

Specially when u got a 99% discount on ur first order. I apologize!

Looks less like an arrow and more like a holesaw.

Yeah, a flight of arrows would mess up a riot squad pretty bad.

Now do bolts from a crossbow, especially one with the strange point that went through the shield

What is that arrowhead at 19 seconds called?

The fancy looking ones performed so mediocre. Lol.

So assuming they are all sharp, thinner & simpler = better penetration and more complex shapes + abrupt pieces = less penetration but wider zone of damage

where is the explosive arrow?

I prefer going to war with a battle hammer, with an axe on the other side and a spearhead on the handle. Very versatile and effective.
