What's the most iconic piece of armour in history?
>>79731602
i think you just posted it.
Whenever you see a helmet (a*n* helmet ?) of this shape, you automatically think about the wehrmacht, and thus, associate the (bad) guy who wear it with the nazis. Just watch the latest scooby doo episodes, the robot soldiers have these helmets, what do you think immediately ? These robots are evil of course...
>>79731602
This helmet. When americans switched to the ear-covered style people actually got mad because it looked like nazi helmets despite their superior design
>>79732309
That's because the jews have been trying deliverately to program it into people.
Pic related is the true helmet of evil.
Corinthian helmet, followed by the Lorica segmentata.
Changed how combat worked because swords couldn't pierce or slice it and was cheap to make and supplied all around.
>>79731602
Why is a mongol wearing that helm?
>>79732788
forgot image
>>79731602
i prefer the picklehaube
>>79732831
Okay, this is true.
We have a winner.
Everyone go home.
Roman legionary shield
Greek hoplite shield
>>79732878
Is the spike just for ornamental purposes?
>>79732674
The Corinthian helmet is godlike. Can't explain.
what an autistic thread
>>79732986
the reasoning was that a spike would help deflect falling debris
>>79732834
this.
The Trojan helmet
>someone correct me
Meme segmentata probably, considering how in medias it seems to be the standard armor of Romans in every era while in reality it was a pretty expensive and elite armor used mostly around the height of the empire when they could still afford to make it and support it.
>>79733177
>Meme
>>79732834
This.
Everything else in this thread is just a footnote to the Praetorian Guard's helmet. That fucking crimson mullet.
>>79732986
No though it did become more so in world war one.
Best most iconic armour is probably either roman centurion or knights Templar.
>>79732986
I think there is a few instances of soldiers killing a man with those helmets, but i think it can be done with any metal helmet.
>>79731602
I'd say Lorica Segmenta is up there.
>>79733220
yeah it's kind of a meme armor, thus the "meme segmentata" name
>>79733291
Also this. You see this kind of armor, you know the katana is coming.
>>79733111
>>79732986
and that it would also deflect vertical sword slicing aimed at the skull (but i still don't know how)
>>79733291
this, i reckon every single person in europe aged 8 and above would recognise it
Can we include fiction? I'm voting this.
>>79732878
>>79733263
If the helmet was attached around soldiers head strongly I can see that spike becoming only liability if there ever was close combat.
obviously some kind of SS uniform.
Personally i like the conquistador and the samurai amour.
>>79731602

>>79732674
This is all you need for a codpiece, get fucked Henry the 8th
>>79733504
I ment taking the helmet into your hands and bashing a fags head in
>>79731602
I can't believe it took me this long to think of this.
>>79733504
Them being absolutely useless in 20th century warfare was why they were phased out soon after WW1 started.
I mean it was made from fucking leather.
>>79732834
This is the most iconic hands down
>>79733420
ya.
>>79732510
Underrated
>>79733291
>>79733405
its recognisable but very few examples have been recovered and there's no descriptions in historical sources and few illustrations to confirm if it was ever used as standard equipment.
My vote is the corinthian helmet. Stylish and often used in vidya and films as a distinctive piece.
>>79731602
It is this. Even normalfags know what the Stahlhelm is, but they'll struggle with ancient shit like the Roman and Spartan helmets.

>>79732309
A Helmet, you actually pronounce the H in English.
This, although they were never really used by vikings.

Helmet used by the Saxons. You know, the people who conquered and settled england

I like to think winged hussars solely because of the badass wings
>>79735490
where did they come from? who actually used/coined them?
>>79732674
the Corinthian helmet is garbage, the Phrygian helmet is more iconic because Alexander conquer persia, egypt, all of greece, and yourhelmet is only iconic because of those Spartan faggots
>>79734848
And look where it got you.
>>79735490
or are they just meme helmets
Is there any doubt?
>>79732878
I read they were a representation of the spears of Charlemagne.
Bucklers are underrated for how often they were used as a shield and sidearm throughout history
>>79733466
But its useless, those fuckers get shot and drop immediately, also it seems to make aiming a weapon impossible.

M8, there was just a race riot from the Chinese in Florence. You country is growing in number of muslims and mosques. Your country is growing in terms of sub-saharan blacks. Many of whom turn to crime. You churches are getting hit by muslim extremists.
Mexicans may be disgusting but they're better than your Moroccans. We may have a problem with blacks but, demographically speaking, their numbers will not change. Whereas you keep growing in terms of blacks.
Not the most iconic, but the most aesthetic.

this might come as a shocker in the land of mongrels but we don't reproduce with them, we give them enough to stay in check until they fuck off elsewhere where there's actual gibsmedats available
>>79737050
if someone does something to them, to immigrants, to foreigners, you have to remember they have the "special" status which invalidates everything you do against them, the only solution for now is to stand still and let them lay waste until it's too late THEN it's the time to strike even if it will be desolating
>>79736959
Whoever spells armor with a "u", 52% of the time they wanna fuck up a terrorist.
Janissary headgear is pretty recognizable, and it's bound to show up in any media involving Turkey
It's the shield you literal fucking niggers. No one wore videogame armors, horned helmets, or face masks, meanwhile everyone has a basic shield of some sort....
>>79737349
>we don't reproduce with them
Pic related is one of your qt models. She fucked and married a nigger.
You most famous porn star frequently fucks niggers.
You have a black politician who married an Italian.
All of this aside. It doesn't matter if you don't fuck them. You're being out-bred. You're being replaced.
>>79737629
t. 60% """"white"""" amerimutt, willingly submitted to king negro himself

That looks insanely unpractical.
>>79737629
celebrities do that just to "be cool" and while a normal person just can't do that because it doesn't sell his ass off for a living (even if our government is trying to do that).
>>79737629
how did a thread on armor degenerate to a nigger thread fucken /pol/acks
I'd say these and the aussie guy's homemade armor are two of the most modern iconic armors

that's a good point, but there are many types of shield.
probably the roman shield is the most well known, also the formation they would make with it.

>>79737830
My vote for semi-contemporary modern armor would be the flak vest.
Although to recent generations, the full-body IED disposal bomb suit might be more iconic.
>>79737883
might be true, but compared to the US Italy is still an ethno-nationalist pipe dream in comparison, you just aren't in the position to call anyone out on it since you are yourself a kike wet dream of a melting pot, dragging western civilization down with yourself

M8. Your birthrates are in the gutter and you keep bringing in more immigrants. You country is used as a stepping stone for migrants. Your country is completely cucked.

Setting up a business here (trading). Parents have holiday homes here and it's cheaper to pay them rent then to rent on my own through a 3rd party. I'm trying to keep my costs as low as possible to put everything I can into my business.
It's a very chilled place, it you're after a break from a rush or stress I'd highly recommend this place. The people here are genuine and decent. I live on the West side. The main cities are laid back and chilled, you can have a very high standard of living here for not too much.
>>79743369
So, basically, you're a stereotypical brit. You move to a foreign land, formerly your empire, don't learn the local language and have no respect for the natives?

The theory goes: the top of the helmet is the weakest part, so try to deflect vertical blows to the sides.
Even if that theory was correct, once we didn't fight with swords anymore it was superfluous.
