Question

What would 3 medieval foot soldier weapons be and why?

Answer 1

their hands, rocks and the occasional foot to the cossack....believe me...as a u.s.army infantry soldier for most of my adult life...it still comes down to this when goodies run out.( and they do) i have been known to throw rocks and debris, and quite successfully, at certain times.

i don't think people realize just how brutal combat can become, and it usually does when closing with the enemy becomes a mere fist fight to the death. most weapons will get you that far. the rest is up to you.

Answer 2

Sword, lance and longbow. Why? To kill enemies in combat.

Answer 3

A bow,pike,lance,sword,dirk,mace hammer,all down to bare hands

Answer 4

Lance/spear, generally as a front line defensive weapon against cavalry.

Bow and arrow, because it was quick and easy to load and very effective.

Sword, for fairly obvious killing effect.
