Would medieval armor help in a zombie horde?

[Chaosolous]

Say you're being swarmed, would it make any difference or would you wanna be nimble?

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

i think plastic football armour would stop human bite even doubly thick clothes

yes realistically human bit cant break plate armor, our teeth going to break before if we bit too strongly or our jaw going to break before

now if you talk about fiction zombies it is another story

what if jaws becomes a zombie?

it is why in my second sentence i talked about fiction zombie

if your point is resident evil zombie going to crush plate armor

i agree with you

but we try to stay realistic and human bit cant pierce plate armor we lack good teeth and strong jaw for that, you try that and you lost all your teeth or get jaw break

shark is fiction character not real dude and i really doubt the real actor has so strong bit and the teeth for that

now if it is lion, jaguar, crocodile, maybe they can pierce the armor, even hyena may pierce, dog and wolf i say 50/50 if we talk big dog and wolf

realistically you could kill a few faster than the others could stagger over to you, and the more they try to rush that the more likely they're going to get tangled and fall down.

so you're only fighting two or three per round. if you work at it and have the right space for it 100 or 200 an hour isn't impossible.

good luck doing that with any clothing on at all though.

It wouldn't work if you are swarmed. Because you'll get dog piled and your armor would eventually be stripped.

If you are on full plate with an Halberd you can probably kill an entire horde.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

If you get caught in a swarm you will be goner no matter what you wear.

Yeah i mean why the ♥♥♥♥ would you be in a corridor in the first place? I mean you should have a sidearm with a weapon like that always anyways.

You'd be like a shawarma wrapped in aluminium foil for them lmao

come to think of it if you fell down and a zombie stood on you the armor might start to crumple.

zombie are supposed to be too dumb to use their brain to know where to bit, we never see zombie take time to remove clothe and protection from their victim and mostly they prefer to hit instead to try to turn the knob

if a zombie falls on you its head is going to be about neck height. the bite is basically reflexive, from them falling on you.

sorry, but the video show good protection at neck

the limit it is human jaw and human teeth, we dont have the teeth and the jaw for this task, it is easy to break jaw with a good fist punch on the jaw and jaw breaking mean you cant bit until your jaw is healed and your teeth going to break if you try to bit very strongly steel plate

we are not shark, crocodile, lion, hyena, carnivorous turtle, those animals have the teeths and the jaw for that, human mouth is closer to cow, deer, horse than dog, wolf, lion

you going to die, because lack of air to breath or from overheat, not because zombie are able to strip the armor, mostly you going to die when people overcrow and begin to walk each other when they panic

nope you cant, you may kill 3 or 4, but the zombie behind going to stop your weapon and even in perfect scenario you going to be exausted

I think you can use corspes piles at your advantage too actually if you slay enough zombies they can't simply jump you like this anymore, hence why i thought an Halberd was an interesting choice. If you play your cards well you can't be approached for a while.

An halberd is long enough so you can swing in all directions at once and be successfull. Anyways how fast the zombies actually are?
