Chain mail

[greeny]

maces would crush the chain mail thoough

[MasterKeyX]

i gues thath'd be a problem, right? ;)

[greeny]

i thought chainmail went under plate armor right :-\

[MasterKeyX]

im not really sure. Either way, a mace would DESTROY it.

[greeny]

what about a flail :othose things are awsome too

[Gamefreak]

A flail is basically just a mace with a chain attached.  Chainmail is good enough against crushing blows because it's flexible.  A crushing attack could penetrate something like plate armor with good effect.

Chain mail is basically only defensive for cuttung weapons if hit with a flail or mace your bones can still be broken, and arrows and lances are mails bane cuz they cut through it like aluminum foil. And Zelda Veteran if you can wait a couple of months or a year it's yours as long as you don't mind that I'm mutilating my first 5 rings ( I'm buying a heavy duty wire cutter tomorrow) Oh forgot to say a mace wouldn't destroy the mail so much as you.

Oh and just to let you know Lowe's has 14 guage galvanized steel wire, a lot of wire not sure precisely how much but cost about 9-10 dollars.

Finally if you wanna know how to make it I reccomend this site  http://users.frii.com/dnorris/maillearmor.html

Doesn't it take months, I saw someone do a bit once.
Anyway if you have a LOT of spare time ya might as well.

Some things can't be avoided.  There will always be conflict and fights.

Maybe....

The Country/Principality of Monaco seems to have never been in a War methinks.
It rocks there it is so chilled out its unreal.

Anyway, yeah give me a bullet proof vest any day. :D

This past weekend I watched someone make some chainmail. It's actually quite simple and no welding is involved. It's just a matter of linking the rings together to form what you want. It's actually similar to knitting.

[MasterKeyX]

So you can make it whatever shape you want? :-\
