Armor-smiths! You all should watch this documentary, if you can!
PBS: Secrets of the Shining Knight
Peeps, did you know that some really fancy armor suits could deflect a shot from a musket???
It’s a super cool doc that talks about the crafting of armor, and how it stood up to some of the newer weapons of the time; namely, hand-canons and muskets.
A whole lot of it could easily relate to GW2 headcanons; from what it takes to actually make armor pieces, to how mobile a person really is in about 70lbs of armor. There’s also a super cool shot of a piece of foot armor that is so mobile, it moves like a metal sock made of plates. Look at this!
If you’re a nerd and/or just like to learn, do check it out! Then draw your rifle and pistol wielding kids ‘testing’ the armor of your armor-smith kids, that ought to be fun.
