    It might stop a lead ball but I bet it still hurts to get shot.

      Oh! Also reminds me of this:

      An incident in the English Civil War wherein an armored cavalryman was shot in the head at close range, but the pistol still failed to penetrate his helmet.

      The man survived. No word on whether he got lifelong tinnitus, but I must presume that was one of the results, lmao.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
