Take into consideration too, that back then, Japanese people were extremely
small- just look at the armor displays in museum, armor worn by famed
Samurai- most of these look to fit people under five feet tall lol.

Agree with all you pointed out- match my own knowledge on the matter. Most
big heavy swords we see in fantasy titles today were mostly just ceremonial
when they were used at all- that Japanese nodachi for example- it's really
too unwieldy to be of any real use.

That would be about right. And as to the 20 kg sword, I think he said
And that's why it wasn't uncomon for them to fall off the horse and break

Hi,
Yeah, something like that. I'm not an expert on ancient weaponry, but
a lot of those weapons and armor, especially the iron weapons, were
extremely heavy. Nights, for example, were really too heavy for combat
on foot and that's why they rode horses because it was the only way to
move a 200 pou
Japanese kanabo which
is essentially a spiked mace is average about 30 pounds.

Hi Jim,
Yeah, no kidding. That's quite a lot. Just off the top of my head that
is a little over 40 pounds in the SAE measurements if memory serves.

A typical knight's broad sword weighed about 3 pounds. So, I'm guessing
with would be 1.4 kg?
