Beg thy pardon, fellow /k/avaliers, but I must beg thy inquiry. I recently heard news that some eastern lands have been developing extremely strange weaponry using a substance they call "gunpowder". I don't know worth jack how they make it but apparently its capable of firing a ball of lead at an EXTREMELY fast pace, faster than the French could put up a white flag I reckon. Takes forever to prep it for firing again unfortunately. What do you gentlemen think? Is it worth a few hundred?
>>30342112
Kinsmen, hath you hears of these new arms the people east of the orient have come up with? A venetian trade told me of these weapons that harness the power of thunder and fire to propel a ball in the most horrifying of ways...
>>30345895
Why even bother? If you want to kill at range, I say a crossbow will serve you fine. Why bother with this finicky and unreliable system?
This "Gun powder" tis but a fad.
>>30345963
>Believing oriental merchants.
Those felons will say anything to match their prices.
>>30345963

The district the man assaulted already had crossbows banned to the local peasantry.
You'll also notice that a man attempted the same thing in Switzerland but was immediately cut down by a proper guardsman.
Any man can assault an unarmed peasant, but one would be truly mad to give an armed guard and excuse to fire upon thy person.

The man of the orient delivered unto me a strange metal tube, a large sack of powder, and 50 large round balls.

After taking aim at a large boar about 40 braccios away, I touched the tip of the torch to a hole in the metal.
A massive flame shot out, and what sounded like our Lord himself smiting the lowly defend my ears. Through the large cloud of smoke I could see that the boar had been ripped apart, and layeth deceased on the ground. I could not even see the projectile as it flew forth. What power!

not so similar, really.
the church of the day was facing the endemic warfare that was part and parcel with Germanic culture at the time.
war was so constant, that the church invented several things to keep warlords from killing each other and fucking up the country side...including prohibitions against making war against Christians on various religious observances, and the whole code of chivalry.
banning crossbows was less about keeping the rabble from assassinating Lords (crossbows would have been beyond a commoners budget anyway), and more about keeping warlords from obliterating each other with crossbow armed peasant levies.

Could it be that he was unable to afford such a gauntlet? I laugh heartily at his poorfaggotry.
>>30355332

>tfw your garrison issues you peasantry-tier weapons and the local bulletin board has parchments mocking you

Of covrse it's a painting.
Did yvo expect charcoal sketches?
>>30342112
Listen to me lowly villeins, I cannot comprehend why yeoman must insist on wielding assault swords and poleaxes.
Yea verily, it is 1300AD!
Such barbarous implements have no place in modern Christendom.
>>30355753
Hold thy tongue, yeoman. I wager ye hath never laid hand on a blade let along use one. Have ye forgotten of the heathens that lie to the southeast? The next crusade is coming, what is more Christian than that?
>>30353873
> they're frogs
Ayyy lmao
What knight order to ye belong to. I have served diligently with the knights of Malta
>>30346578
Thou must truly be meaning the Anglo Saxons, Hark and hear me! The Anglo shall be the doom of all good fearing peoples with their treacherous ways!
>>30345895
Looks overly complex, it will never catch on. What if the powder gets wet? What about different rounds and slow reload time?
The cost alone will kill it, logistics wins wars, not some fancy toy
>>30349694
Do you want the local magistrate to kill your hound?
>Live in Finland
>Own tactical bow

>>30355283
I wouldst not worry of such things.
>>30356357
>bow
>not a crossbow
Unless you're an English archer, crossbows are by far superior. Do you limit yourself out of choice or does your country not have the technology?
>>30345312
What is that googel you are snakking aboot?
>>30357731
>googel
What did he mean by this, fellow /k/nights?
>>30357752
He's a witch
>>30357463
>crossbow on horseback
not that it can't be done, but why...
>>30356207
No my lord.
>>30345895
Tis too slow to be practical, these new weapons are just a small phase. Just like monarchy our blades will never be replaced by anything else
>>30357731
I do believe it's trying to speak to us, gentlemen.
>>30357778
>>30357752
BURN THE WITCH
English longbows are utter shite and cheap copies, do yourself a favour, and buy a real Welsh made one.
>>30342112
Fucking Pajeet's why is their steel so superior? When do we invade them?
>>30360952
I'll get the wood.
>>30342717
Beeth that an arquebus?

>>30361174
By Christ's beard. did you dig that out of a bog?
i'll give you 5 nummi for the antique. if you can verify it's authenticity, i'll up it to 20 florins.
>>30360952
>>30361062
Wait gentlemen, we need to make sure she's a witch before we go burning her. Now, what makes a witch different from other women?
>>30362778
Sh-she's got a boil and a big nose
>>30362801
Well, it is a rather big nose.
>>30362861
She turned me into a newt
>>30363153
A newt!?
>>30363204

>>30363223
Yeaaaaah. Ahhhhhh

She made me move to California and now I take my gunnes there.
>>30363216
>>30363223
>>30363240
Gentlemen, gentlemen! Let us not get too hasty, there are ways of telling if she is a witch. For instance, we burn witches, right? What also burns?
>>30363281
Gunne legislation!
Why do you NEED a siege sword? You cant beat the king! He as Knights and cavalry!
>>30363281
Wood
>>30363292
Alright! So, why do witches burn?
>>30363324
Cause their made of wood
I made a grave mistake /k/
Hast thou seen newest scrolls from the Orient?
>>30363352
Good! Now, what else can you do with wood, besides burn it?
>>30363360

Bless you, /k/. This is the best thread I've ever seen.
>>30363402
Yes, but can't you also build a bridge out of stone?
>>30363393
>>30363400
Hmm, interesting ideas, good. Now, what else can you have sex with in the bum cavity?
>>30363389
So basically I wrapped sheep's wool on my sword and held it on with rope, and then set it on fire. I was expecting to set my enemies on fire, but I dropped it and burnt down my village
I say, why haven't any of you heathens joined the the guard of his holiness. Are you gentlemen of the semetic or arabic type.
>>30363430

>>30363437
>not serving in a knight order
Like.....I wanna sit here and write a 12th century version of the Navy Seal copypasta, but im pretty lazy. Like real lazy. Someone else do it
>>30363437
>serving the greatest idol in Satans employ
the Emperor will cut you heathens down rightly as soon as the holy land has been cleansed of the filth.
>>30363464
Exactly! So, if she should weigh the same as a duck, then that means...?
