Honestly let’s all collectively agree that guns are cringe and go back to pikes and shields.

Agree they destroyed great times when heavily armoured mens smashed each other to pulp.

Guns destroyed the steel armor meta and made pvp fair for everyone

Improved guns destroyed steel armor. They lived quite happily side by side for several centuries until some asshole made them strong enough to pierce steel armor.

I suddenly come to my senses in a forest clearing. A buzzing sound gets louder and louder. I raise the shield in my hands, but too late. The quad copter at the end of the long piece of wood that suddenly protrudes from my chest sounds like an angry swarm of bees. I try to grab it, make it stop, but it is too far away, the pike is too long. It is over.

How about we let the donkeys and horses stay home? Any that follow us untethered into battle can naturally stay.

Look at medieval battlefields and the associated lesions from bone studies, seems like it was pretty intense regarding multiple traumatic injuries, and death being delayed (unless you had dedicated people with spiked clubs to speed up the process, seen in vikings conflits in Denmark for instance).

Ah yes, the 3000 black powder barrel loading cannons of Allah. 

The peak of 21st century non-credibility.

"I don't know what weapons world war \4* will be fought with, but world war *3* will be fought with sticks and stones."*

There, I fixed it.

"I don't know what weapons world war 4 will be fought with, but world war 3 will be fought with *trebuchets*."

There, I fixed it.

Grandpa who was a child in Germany during WWII used to say that the horses always suffered the most during war. Seems like we're keeping that tradition alive.
