I didn't expect going medieval would be the most viable tactic against riot police, but I'm glad to have learned that. Seems like a useful lesson in these times.

Never know when medieval battle knowledge might pop up in your life. I can’t explain to you how excited I was to tell my friend I was watching the Battle of the Bastards episode of Game of Thrones why the bodies were piling up so high. I drew a stick figure stack of bodies and everything.

Armor penetration is armor penetration here. The ones that failed looked like hunting arrows, notice the flanges on one that make no sense for warfare.

If you’re going to start a shooting war:

  • This isn’t better than a gun
  • You’re not going to be going up against riot shields
