And where exactly did it prove this?
Source?
Just keep marching out those straw men Sek. No one is talking about stabs and slashes. You ran your mouth saying a longsword couldn't do enough blunt force trauma to break a rib and you won't even admit it can break a clavicle. You know how many PSI it takes to break a clavicle? Why don't you look it up and get back to me.
You're the one who has limited this conversation to chain mail armor. The entire world wasn't wearing chain mail the moment the longsword was invented. The fact is, and it is a fact, a longsword can do enough blunt force trauma to break/fracture bones without penetrating armor or skin. Did I say it happens 100% of the time? No. Did I say nothing can prevent this? No. Did I start out making the claim against all types of armor? No.
March out a new batch of your recruits Sek. What else are you going to try to prove me wrong at?
EDIT:
According to one source (which I cannot verify) it takes 160 PSI to break a human bone. Now an arm or leg bone is probably denser than the average bone. I'll let you insist a longsword can't create a 160 PSI behind chain mail. After all, you fight with wooden swords so that makes you smarter than me.
