I've seen Admiral Yi's sword up close at the War Museum. It's absolutely ginormous, longer than I am tall, six feet easy.
Did medieval Koreans actually use swords this big, or were they just for show?

Shorty
Fuck if I know.
C'mon Yi, it is in your genes. You have to know.
It's not the size, it's how you use it!
You better know. :mad:
Probably ceremonial.
I saw child size armor once. Did medievals have battalions of 9 year olds?

You were probably abnormally large at the time.

Nope, they had: a chronic shortage of protein. :(
Anyway, I assume you are mocking Tim's OP, and rightly so. :)

I hear that happens. Some people swell up like a sponge and then deflate.

No, but in the Renaissance and a little later they sometimes put princes in ceremonial armor.

That sounds like a personal problem.
