In fact, the roman murmillo gladiator had a sleeve armor, which was terrific at deflecting blows that land on the right arm, but rather crap against blows that land on the left arm. As long as the sword hits somewhere where there is plate, well, that means the blow have a good chance of being absorbed by the armor. What difference would it have made if this armor had a U cleavage? By the same reasoning, a normal armor would crush your collarbone as all the force would collect there instead. Hrrrmf!!! Make the Mythbuster guys test that with a real boobplate or I will file that in the hogwash category. The only purpose of such armor is sexual fantasies. It directs the force of a blow directly onto the sternum, shattering it and killing the wearer. It'd probably be incredibly painful to have them smashed against your body, so it only makes sense for there to be a bit of room there.Īctually, it’s completely impractical. Tbf, I always felt the boob plate had some degree of practicality(other than for distracting your opponent ).
