MEDIEVAL ARMOR!!!!!

[Erm, what the Sigmar?]

Now this is an idea i've had for AGES. Imagine. KNIGHT ARMOR! take hundreds to thousands of bullets of the puny pesky bandits! Repair your armor if its been through to much AND SAVE BAMBIS AND EAT LIKE A KING! BUT. as you can tell this armor is heavy as an rabbit carrying a double D Boob So. Naturally. you can only hold what the armor will fit. 1 Melee weapon (A FLIPPIN 2 HANDED AXE!!!) And no guns.. Firstly. HOW the hell could you hold atleast 10-30+ pound gun + ammo on you when you have like. 100 pound - 200 pound armor on your probably 150 pound BODY? (i rest my case) And You could have 2 Forms of it. THE BLACK KNIGHT ARMOR! For hard core evil dooers! AND THE HOLY HAND GRENADE (knight armor with a templar seal on the head.. and maybe a feather cap ;D) And.. A REAL HOLY HAND GRENADE (blow ♥♥♥♥ up) and then wear a viking helmet on your knight helmet AND RULE! and have a WOLF MASK UNDER THE HELMET!!! AND GLASSES!





Anyways. I'd love to see something like this. Pleassee add this! (or juggernaut armor.. cause ♥♥♥♥ YEAH!)


Note. the knight could hold a small pistol. But with the future updates.. any other guns would probably be better XD.

Bullets would shred it...if it was bullet proof we'd still be using it.

Yes. Modern day bullets would "shred it" And thats after alot of bullets...
IN THIS TIME OF THE APOCOLYPSE SIR. We have Rusty guns and bullets (and old as hell guns) And we are using things like it. HENSE juggernaut armor. Which was thought of Because Guess what? DING DING DING Knight armor and Spartan armor hell.. even swat teams are using such things... and half of the people shooting them cant hit something 10 meters away from them.

In real life you need special training to be able to comfortably wear it. Plus you need someone to dress you and you can hardly jog innit.

Same goes for bomb suits

thats what the bambis are for :) (its also not real life. is it? cause aparently we're able to hold hundreds of pistols in a small backpack sir) And as for training. Haha. we've all walked hundreds of miles and worked our jogging abilities.. and as listed above.. we're used to heavy weights aparently, The fact that us (The survivors that spawn in the game) are actually THERE TO BE spawned into. Means they were probably the best of the best.... hard core survivalists or even millitary. m8

Typical plate steel armor might stop a .22 at medium range. MAYBE... it might also stop Hollow Point rounds at medium range. But you're sacrificing speed and what not carrying heavy ass metal armor when it would be smarter to grab a Kevlar vest and a Ballistics helmet.. the latter not in yet, and the former maybe sving you from an outright headshot, assuming you wake up before you bleed out.

The age of a gun does not = effectiveness. a Colt Single Action Army, a revolver that was widely used in 1875 onwards would still wreck your shiny armor.

i like the idea. but interms of stopping bullets it wont. it might stop a .22 bullet if it hits a thick part but 9mm and up it wont stop, its just not designed for that. the armour is designed to spread the load over a large area where as a bullet is a focused point of impact. hence broad swords would dint it but not piece but fine thin bladed swords like the rapier would pierce it.

though i have been wating to get a sword in game for a long time... katana preferably.

I wish machetes had a decap chance. As the system works now you're better off not usinghalf the melee weapons they provide. Crowbars take awhile to knock some sense into the rotten buggers, machees don't do much either lol

I can't totally roleplay as Gordon freeman until I have a crowbar

[Erm, what the Sigmar?]

once again. IF the servers go like they should be soon. there will be like 3 people with guns. And mostly people with melee > knight armor would be fine. + they're adding horses.

i got to stay for stopping bullets folded paper (founded so its thick. mythbuster style) would do better than medievil armour.

That was samurai armor.. .. equally awesome though

[Chadner]

You do realize armour wouldn't do anything against bullets?
