Got a Real-World Weapon, Armor or Tactics Question? Mk. XXIV

[Max_Killjoy]

As fantasy genre show, GoT was kind of realistic. More so than others. It had more internal consistency and the plot and some of the characters were loosely based on history, so it had that ring of truth. That and major characters being able to die... made it feel plausible.

I think that is kind of changing as the show wraps up though (and surges way past the ground covered by the novels)

That hammer thing is a LARP weapon, as are the big axe and a lot of others making appearances lately.

Most of the weapons and sword fighting etc. in GoT have been pretty bad though.

Someone did a running count of the number of times weapons slide right through chain or plate like armor is decorative, but I can't find the video.
