I saw a show where they tested the weapons of the knight and the samurai and the samurais weapons were more effective against the knights armor than even the knights own was. How? European weapons were heavier, had more mass and a bit more blunt = more effective against armored targets.

I don't remember the details too much but the katana/samurai sword could pierce the suit of armor that the knight had, but had a harder time getting through the chainmail. The knights sword would more times than not be deflected by the armor but would crush bones underneath the armor.
I've only seen that show though on Discovery Channel so don't take it as solid proof but it was really intressting.

Don't think Bamboo twigs are going to deflect a claymore bro.

1) Did the samurai's have sisters? 2) What is the name of these Japanese doors made out of paper again? 3) Do you have a sword and are you able to use it properly?

Shut up Locke, you're this. Also... I still find it hilarious that you didn't even know your name was originally based off of my favorite final fantasy all this time and you didn't even know it. haha. also, wondering why that image didn't show up until I quoted this post. oh and screw final fantasy in all its iterations.

That's like naming myself Babe Ruth, then saying "Fuck baseball".
