Actually, as I posted above, I am interested in all weapon forms. I have tried slings, Atl Atl's (sp), rifles, pistols, thrown weapons and archery. I find it interesting how the human spirit comes up with new and inovative ways to form projectile weapons. Being a Marine, I am an expert with pistols and rifles but I still ave much to learn about some of the other weapons I have used.

A friend of mine who is on this forum told me that it might be a good idea to let folks know about what I do in case there was anyone else who likes what I do. Although we import our chainmail, all of our plate armor is made by craftsmen here in the US.

Thank you for welcoming me.

Cheers!

Andre

Motor T Stopped Silent Deadlined I was an 0369 befor I retired. If you aren't a Marine, this will really confuse you. Every profession has its own jargon and they don't always transfer over to other services.

If you tell the Air Force to secure a building, they will get a 50 year lease with an option to buy.

If you tell the Navy to secure abuilding, they will make sure the building is empty, the doors and windows are locked and the outside lights are on.

If you tell the Army to secure a building, they will post sentries, and make sure no one enters or leaves without proper authority.

If you tel the Marines to secure a building, they will kick in the doors, throw grenades in the rooms and then kill anybody in the building.

Hey, I just checked out your website. Its a little too pricy for me, but I did like the selection. One question, though: do you have any armor that isn't mirror-bright? I mean, bright armor makes the higher officers look good and everything, but in real combat, it isn't all that practical. Bright armor makes you a target on the battlefield, and im not sure that would be a good thing.

At the point in history where this stuff was being used, the point was to make yourself look like a fearsome god of combat, seeking death to slake your bloodlust, and essentially scare the living bejeezus out of the other guys. In pitched battle, nobody in armor was really trying to hide.
