Please come in, this is an extremely detailed medieval Qimen Weapon Expo, you will never be disappointed.
Assassin's Creed, a veteran series, tells a series of intricate historical stories, with the Assassin Masters fighting the Knights Templars from the Middle Ages to the modern era. This is not to discuss the history in the movie, but only tells about the assassin weapons that appear in the game and the movie. Do these weapons really exist? What exactly are their prototypes? Let's take a look together.
The first thing that appears is the classic sleeve blade, a weapon that runs through almost the entire history of Assassin's Creed. In the first generation, it was like this.
In the latest generation, it has become a very complex weapon system.
Have any such weapons ever existed? The answer is yes. In fact, the Sleeve Blade in the game is a combination of multiple weapons in history. The weapons in the series are inspired by this weapon. Made in India in the 18th century.
First look at the source of the sleeve blade body. This is the costume of the Indian Rajiput samurai, from the Metropolitan Museum. The weapon equipped on the armor is called the katar, which is a special Indian specialty weapon.
Standard version of the fist sword. Of course, the blade position of this weapon is not on the inside of the wrist as in the game, but on the midline of the arm. However, the principle is the same, using the unrelieved arm position to generate huge piercing force, causing great damage. The guards on both sides have armor functions, which can hit or block the grid. Fist and sword are generally wide blades, which can create wounds that are difficult to heal.
Handguarded fist sword, produced in the 17th century, in the Thanjavur region of South India, 40.3cm long, 11.4cm wide and weighing 629.4g. It is the legacy of collector George Stone.
Indian Scissors Fist Sword, 18th-19th century, 48.9 cm long, currently in the Met Museum, George Stone's legacy. The dark blade at the front end can be used to block it, or it can be stabbed into the opponent's body before activating... There are records of the dark blade being applied to poison in Qatar.
There are also such weapons in the Western weapon world, called left-handed daggers, and are used to parry when they are dual-held weapons. The weapon in the picture was produced in Italy in the 17th century.
The setting of the sleeve blade with a gun in the new series comes from here, the combination of fist, sword, dagger and flintlock pistol was created in India in the 18th century.
The shape design of the new sleeve blade comes from this weapon, a combination of dagger and flintlock, about 1800, made in the Ottoman Empire, 12mm caliber.
The arm armor that matches the sleeve blade is not original. It is originally a defensive equipment for Indian Muslim warriors, and is usually extremely gorgeous.
The strongest weapon among the first and second generations of the series is the Sword of Altaïr. Putting aside the numbers, it is a Western one-handed sword. It belongs to the standard combat equipment in the Middle Ages. Flexible and lightweight, slightly less lethal. Based on the old-fashioned Western one-handed sword, the blade width is reduced, and the price is better usedsex. This kind of sword mostly appears as a knight's sword. The use of this sword as the strongest weapon in the series indirectly illustrates the noble identity of the protagonist.
The prototype of this sword is like this. The weapon in the picture was manufactured in England between 1250 and 1300.
In the 15th century, this sword evolved into a handguard sword and continued to exist as a knight's sword. The weapon in the picture was manufactured in Solingen between 1590 and 1610.
The Connor hand axe, which appears in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, is known for its lethality and is known by enthusiasts as the symbolic weapon of the Assassin's Creed series.
This weapon comes entirely from the Indian tomahawk, and is the standard equipment for Indian warriors, almost at the level of being one. Indian warrior "Black Bear", Olala people, 1899.
The Indian hand axe is different from other one-hand axes. Because the axe blade is small, it swings very fast. Sometimes the rope is wrapped around the handle, making it difficult to get rid of the hand. It can be used as a flying axe at a long distance, so there are often feathers tied on the handle, so that the axe can maintain better balance when thrown. The picture shows the original tomahawk with a hollow handle and a pipe on the back of the axe blade, which can be used to smoke.
Its variant is a head-piercing axe, which is held by high-level warriors. If you encounter it, you will be blessed. The weapon in the picture was manufactured in 1876 and was owned by the Sioux chief Hongyun.
As for the weapons in the series, there is a hollowing out source. Horse Zhan used a hand axe, with a hand-wrapped belt and anti-slip cleats. In 1870, it was owned by the Sioux warrior "Crow".
Another Indian weapon appeared in the series, the Pontic Stick, which is a unique weapon of the Mohican clan, also known as the Chief Stick.
This weapon was first made of animal bones and was an important weapon in the early days of Indian culture, and was later replaced by a lighter hand axe. The weapon in the picture is made of bear bones and is currently in the University of Philadelphia Museum.
The ordinary form is like this, with a thickened handle left on the blade part to strengthen the impact force generated by the attack instantaneously. The method of using this weapon is to swing from the side to the chest and abdomen, which has extremely powerful lethality.
There has been such an enhanced version.
There are also this kind of thing. The weapon in the picture was made in 1875 and is now a collection of Guns and Cannon Club.
Its branch weapon is a broken-head stick, also known as a ball-headed battle stick, designed specifically for crushing the skull. The weapon in the picture is from Nebraska, 1865.
Its origin is the Antler Stick, a collection of Harvard Peabody Museum.
Another early Pontic stick in the same collection, made of bear teeth and hardwood, the owner is unknown.
There is also a hook blade for ziplining walls in the series, which is not without source.
One of the possible sources here, the famous Captain of Iron Hook.
Proof of the famous level, one of the skins of LOL Scarecrow is Captain Iron Hook.
The famous hook of Captain comes from here. oceanThe museum collection is stolen, and the handguard part is a replica.
Possible source 2...American woodworking drilling tool...
The third source is the most reliable. This is a weapon called Ankush, with a gun hook and a musket. Made in Delhi, India in the 19th century.
In Assassin's Creed 5, a new weapon Phantom Sword appeared, a long-range crossbow. The Phantom Blade 1:1 model produced by McFarlane is very popular with enthusiasts.
This small folding crossbow is said to be invented by the famous Mr. Isaac Newton in 1662.
But Mr. Newton's inspiration may come from here, the two-in-one weapon produced by Milan, Italy, and the collection of the Royal Weapons Museum in Spain.
As for the cane sword in the series, it is a category that cannot be carried with you in modern times. It is the standard self-defense configuration for European gentlemen for a long time. It has many styles and its configuration is not limited to swords.
For example, gun.
Stick.
And there is a slingshot...
There are many strange weapons that appear in Assassin's Creed, such as blowpipes.
This weapon was originally a product of native hunters in Africa and Latin America. The lethality of the arrow itself is negligible, but the arrow will definitely be poisoned, usually the poison dart frog toxin. The poison dart frog is one of the most toxic animals in the world. The toxins carried by a highly toxic species are enough to kill 20,000 mice.
Many poison dart frogs have bright skins, mostly with red, yellow or black marks. These colors are often used in the animal kingdom as a warning from one animal to other animals: they are not suitable for eating. These colors make the poison dart frogs look very different - they don't need to evade enemies because the attacker dares not approach them. The deadliest toxin comes from the Colombian frog produced in South America. It only takes 0.0003 grams to poison a person.The small tube tied to the blowing tube is filled with venom. Dip it before use, and the prey will die. The feathers behind the arrow are blown to increase the airflow resistance when the arrow is in the tube.
As for the weapon like the Tiger, the game is designed with a very pure version.
This refers to the tiger called "Jack and the Girl", which was made in Italy in 1910.
Romantic weapon of the nobles, gun ring. Wear it on the middle finger and you can pull the trigger with your index finger when you clench your fist.
It is another Indian weapon, 1815, South India.
Produced by North India, called "bagh nakh (tiger claws)", the cruelty of the 19th century pointed to the tiger.
By the way, Freddy's weapon source is actually an Indian weapon, a tiger claw made in Maharashtra, India, produced in the 18th to the 19th centuries.
But these are not the strongest, and this is undoubtedly the strongest bare-handed weapon.
There has also been hidden in the seriesHidden Weapon Leader Warhammer. Why use this weapon as a hidden weapon? The answer is that a very famous weapon appeared in history. The combined warhammer "fighter" in the early 17th century was used. When used, the musket cover can be removed. When hit with all your strength, the musket inside can be automatically fired. It is definitely a magical tool for watermelons.
Its predecessor was born around 1540. The picture below is the actual object of the combined weapon at that time.
The prototype of the artifact gun in the series is a weapon made in Paris, France in 1800. The bottom fire mini gun on the sword can hold six bullets, a veritable artifact.
Finally put a genuine golden gun, I like the gorgeous ending the most.
Okay, that's all for this time. See you next time.
