Weapons testing

We also tested four Joan of Arc weapons
 * Steel crossbow
 * Halberd
 * French arming sword
 * French mace

Long range

Mongolian recurve bow VS Steel crossbow

In long range weapons we tested Genghis Khan's recurve bow VS Joan of Arc's steel crossbow. In Armor penetration, the crossbow could just penetrate the steel lamellar, but the recurve bow could not penetrate the plate part of Joan's armor, but barely penetrate the chainb mail part. However, because Joan's armor does not cover her face, the bow was able to hit her unarmored areas. Also, Genghis's bow can be fired from horseback with great accuracy. Finally, in reload time, Genghis's bow can fire at a high rate of fire whereas the steel crossbow takes about a half a minute to fire one bolt.

Edge: Genghis Khan



Medium range

Jida Lance VS French Halberd

In mid range weapons we compared Genghis Khan's massive 12 foot long Jida Lance against Joan of Arc's French halberd. The Jida is a massive lance that can be used on foot or upon horseback. The Halberd on the other hand is designed to dismount cavalry. The Halberd combines the powers of a pike, hook and axe. The pike end can penetrate Genghis's armored areas and the axe can create a siginficant dent in the helmet. On the other hand, the Jida lance can penetrate the chain mail parts of joan's armor. Despite the great reach of the Jida labce and it's penetrating power, the halberd has more options and does more damage.

Edge: Joan of Arc



Close range

Turko Mongol Saber VS French Arming Sword

For close quarters combat, the Turko mongol saber was compared to the French arming sword. The Turko mongol saber is a devastating slashing weapon, while the french arming sword is a brutal stabbing weapon. The saber can create a menacing stab which can penetrate Joan's chain mail. However, most of her plate armor covers her chain mail. The French Arming sword can penetrate Genghis's armor when using the teqnique half swording. Despite not being armored on the face, Joan's sword has more penetration force than Genghis's.

Edge: Joan of Arc





Special

Mongolian flanged mace VS French mace

The French mace may be able to deliver a devastating blow and kill, but it is much shorter. The Mongolian flanged mace can give reach and destroy both Joan and her knight's helmets to kill. Both can be easily wielded from horseback as well as from foot. But like stated before, the mongol mace can deliver blows with a greater range.

Edge: Genghis Khan
