Got a Real World Weapons or Armour Question? Mk XII

[Storm Bringer]

Maybe? Haven't heard that particular one before. Could easily be that, considering recent topics in politics.

Of course, the thread has a no politics clause, so I guess we better not talk about that possibility any further.



New Topic: A fellow talked about a story they constructed, for a roleplaying game. It involved a giant turtle which was very difficult to hurt, who would run away into the sea if it got injured, heal and come back. After the PCs failed to kill it miserably, an army came to stop it. The army was described as wielding two-man bills, and four-man pikes.

Anyone know historical examples of multi-person polearms?

for those who want to see it, here is the video Mr Mask is on about.

I personally, disagree with his ideas about four man pikes. I honestly think it would be easier to use a Ballista or similar bolt thrower to try and penetrate the turtles shell.
