    The horse archers thing sounds far fetched but someone literally got shot with a crossbow near my place about 3 weeks ago so who knows.

      Gladius was usually worn as a backup, so you could throw a javelin and then pull it

        That and they were used with a massive shield that was generally meant to be used in a phalanx.

        Spearmen/pikemen directly behind the shield wall and if they get past the spears/pikes there’s a wall of shields and gladii to deal with

      Like a Bill Wurtz prequel.

      They’ve got archers. On horses. Horse archers.

    For a mere $227.70 you can get a Condor Tactical Gladius! Act now there is only 2 left in stock apparently lol.

      I own a trebuchet for home defense, because that is what the founding fathers intended.

        George Washington would shed a tear if he could see that Americans have been reduced to defending themselves with weapons that don’t involve fire, loud bangs, and clouds of black smoke.
