Wow, as if Oblivion Heavy Armour hasn't taught me anything... =_=;
Crap, accidentally doubleposted. How do I delete the old one?

Such a scientific breakthrough, brought to you by the scientists that found that water is wet and fire burns fingers.
Edit: The US military already knew this, and has already gotten this down to very accureate numbers. For every 4 pounds (over 40 pounds) a fit soldier carries, they can hike one less mile.

Heavy armor?, HEAVY?, ridicules. It's a well known fact that heavy armor is, in fact, light as a feather and completely useless, it's just looks pretty.
See most Medieval kings were huge fashionistas, and it simply wouldn't do if their most trusted knights were seen in anything but the latest in tinfoil and shiny cardboard fashion. I mean, could you imagine how inconsiderate it would be to have your opponent land a perfectly good blow, only to have it be deflected by armor, that's just rude!.

Not to be overly nitpicky but what your talking about is a cuirass. A breastplate, is just that, a piece of armor which covered the breast or front of the torso.Oroboros said:
On topic, metal plates used to stop arrows and blows from swords, is heavy? No Shit!
Question: is sticking a knife in you eye uncomfortable?
Hypothesis: I believe that doing to would actually be comfortable and feel quite natural.
Experiment: Volunteers all agreed to have knives stuck in through the pupil. As a control some subjects will have needles in place of the knives and some will just be told there is a knife going into there eye when actually there is no physical object entering their eye.
Observations: Both the subjects with the knives and the needle exhibited the same signs of excruciating pain. Afterward all the subjects in which a physical object went into their eye claimed to have impaired vision in that eye. Interestingly this was confirmed in eye test and it should also be noted that the eye in which the needle did not enter was unaffected.
Conclusions: It is my opinion that these test show conclusively that shoving physical objects though your eye is not only extremely painful, but will also damage the eye. However the other eye will be unimpaired.

I'd never have guessed that covering your body in huge chunks of metal would be heavy.

This just in: musical instruments have the potential to play musical notes. With further testing we wish to test the theory that a succession of notes can become a melody.
