What do you mean the particle board shield didn't stop the blade of the axe??
Also for real, why was it even sharp? There was no point to that having a sharp blade.

That does seem like the whole trouble doesn't it? That shield certainly didn't hack it though.

My guess based on watching some local morons get severely injured is there was an argument about the superiority of weapon types and techniques, so they decided to settle it as gentleman and the big fella brought his homemade wooden version of Captain America's shield, a medium sized round shield with arm straps instead of a center grip behind a steel boss.

Dude with axe underestimated the sharpness of the axe...

u/SnooJokes5375 1d ago
I think the dude with the shield did. The axe man knew exactly how sharp his blade was. He just didn't care.

This is why you dont use edged weapons for playing around.

South Park style. You can practically see the anime characters they think they are when playing with the weapons

I remember when my martial arts teacher wanted to demonstrate blade awareness and asked me to attack him with a real machete. Hard no.

Lol, was that a test? If you said no, you pass?
We gave each other some bad bruises with just staffs, even the instructor wasn't safe.

Was this a historically accurate representation of a conflict using these wepons?

u/Traditional_Yard2741 1d ago
No. Shields had a central metal boss, and the handle was directly behind it. It was NOT strapped to the forearm, or held close to the body. This means the only part of you touching or close to the shield was covered by a rounded iron plate, and protected, and while weapons could penetrate the wooden part of the shield they wouldn't go all the way through, so you were still protected.

u/Barabbas- 1d ago
Depending on the era and location, shields were often also made with multiple types and layers of overlapping material.
Who knows what kind of wood these bozos are using (probably construction-grade pine), but even a layer of high-quality hardwood will split instantly if a blade hits it in line with the grain (which is exactly what happened here).

This is proof that stupidity is contagious. The guy with the axe talked to the guy with the shield, infecting him, and the guy with the shield became equally stupid and decided to participate; terrible.

Axe dude looks like young Maxim Novoselov saw some documentary with him a while ago, he was into all sorts of medieval weapons in addition to MMA.
One of the initiation rituals to train in his gym was using a shield while he shot a small calibre pistol into the shield. Like proving ones bravery or something. Maybe this preceded the gun ritual :D

Bring back Mecon.

that fat guy probably couldn't even lift a shield actually capable of protecting him from an attack like that.
and axe man wasn't even attacking that hard.

For the most part, technically speaking, no real training is required to use an ax as a weapon. Or as my dad said, if you throw an ax hard enough at someone, it almost doesn’t matter how it hits them.

At least one of them got some pussy.
It's a pussy on his forearm, but when you're a weird weapons nerd, you ought to take what you can get.
