The Debrief - Medieval WWI Trench Weapons

Almost any time World War I is mentioned, the term “trench warfare” inevitably comes up. Most of those trench warfare references are about the overall condition of the Western Front, particularly the massive battles of 1916-1917. 113/c2jPK04/VWMVy38D0YYLN1scM4pH_RtCW1zSvF_4Rn4dLMGxfTJ3q3npV1-WJV7CgYKdW60tdpq19GQssW8D5gNK7rSxCYW95gnCn2hQDhcW1-L7435k1bHCW28pM2L2-_nMYW7-sMJK7gBdKgW4cxGqd1_P75yW6pLC_f1Vq6xNW5j6prL4rY4BmW1yXcm08Lf2Y2N8jPMvFrdJyvW5nd78_4QPKbJW1YskHs2cdR2hW2frs2x2jdPYPVGZrB_90NB0QW6zzkv05NG3vfW6LMXbc3XPSCxW8fSZ-C1r9fxcW5DqyCK17vr21W9ccHsS922cQCW6CswHM5xXZdhV-TLMv76pH4639Ff1 113/c2jPK04/VWMVy38D0YYLN1scM4pH_RtCW1zSvF_4Rn4dLMGxfVh3q3n_V1-WJV7CgPkqW6_DxVY8fTpCTVgq9Pm1BvSsGW4XG1Sn2-DXqvW6lZCXY8BcPMPW37VfhG5C6qRKVF8j_53B8hF9W4YhhWY7BzJdpW12x3CM4rNShFW783wfS1fKhy6W6HNh8K3fXqKLW7YzGh73f_4DVW1KHQXJ4R5ZDXW4M2yw112MPQyW1R4Nhr7lNfbtW5hH3wG3LqfH7N4RhkdnxGZxRW23V7Tq3KgkF1W1MjvGg7sx16RW7VWqK87hDvB6VqLX074fxPBXW19kRzK8TKNKnW1d3PZR7bSspvW2prgj27vgWC7W3VYwKr7bxSFGVY49n23fTWJ7W2fF2cX2Wqn-l37bP1 [MEDIEVAL WWI TRENCH WEAPONS](113/c2jPK04/VWMVy38D0YYLN1scM4pH_RtCW1zSvF_4Rn4dLMGxfVh3q3n_V1-WJV7CgV_KVYW2RM19lmwpW3-5zd98p5CpyW63nyqk3zD5m3W74vYsd70JKLjW8_k1xx4SJCMFW6GZPzZ406VKzW63978x3RDKxdN731K9D30z3QW57yfK_7htsrDW3zjF2H87pZzyN1s-8Z1bHRgzW2RT4cJ2lfm_yN5Y5VTzH-X9tW5PL9zl5WtC7wW6XSHmx1_xPZfW22w6S72xw43mW6Gg28Z6rXLQVF7mCXyz_HmSN589R8-K1XqvW5S_kMc4RjbxqW2Bqldm1Q096LW1r-DmX18DbfqW2rG-Fd2S31PrW8TpyCK8y-Z3tN7Bcv2218b95W4y57_W3pKhyN3ckl1) By Tom Laemlein October 18th, 2022 - Almost any time World War I is mentioned, the term “trench warfare” inevitably comes up.

To start us off, Tom Laemlein leads us through the muddy trenches of France, armed with medieval weapons first used more than a millennium before. Morning stars, maces, clubs and knives that crushed bone and pierced flesh frequently proved more valuable than a rifle or Chauchat when it was time to infiltrate the enemy’s position. See some real photos and get the real story of these weapons [here](113/c2jPK04/VWMVy38D0YYLN1scM4pH_RtCW1zSvF_4Rn4dLMGxfVh3q3n_V1-WJV7CgV0MW1zCtT67069njW1pP63B4PcrfPW4NMddY48s5cPN7F1J2dDLlNsW9kQglr1ckY4gW98NcXB60V1TcW5kywhr6VwFZfW1rjjzH7G_XTmW60500n1B_Ld9VLsqG044297fW9hJ4HT6z_NsWV9XPGf1pcYlKW31hfK16HGGbPW8k6SRW83VdJlV_H22n6ltStdV8g1RK35gJpFW4_68Xh87pjqXVHQzt886WbtrW5mMpCV5fsVMhW7MX5S25H3cRzN1GKGJ9yj4TRW3qPPst39FnzsW6s_L0j6FqyYFW68ts3x4NRL7yW64S-S15Q7GMvW4ppb7W6VdYy33pG01). Next, Gunspot wants to know if you would shoot the hostage. Understanding your weapon’s zero is extremely important, and if you don’t understand the science behind it there’s a chance your round could strike where you don’t intend, with disastrous results.

And finally, Jeremy Tremp takes us along on his trip of modernizing the SA-35. When modifying such a classic design, much care should be invested into the planning of the work. So, the question is, are the choices he made the right ones?
