Why did fighting go from primarly ranged in the stone age with atlatls to glorious melee combat with Sword durying the metal age?
>>18249851Melee combat makes bitches wet. Ranged combat turns vaginas into the sahara desert.
>>18249851>atlatlsWhat is this made of shit I have only heard of from this board since yesterday?>Spear-throwerWere white people too dumb to invent bows?
>>18249866Atlatls work best against mega fauna.It csn shoot heavier projectile farther than hand thrown.Bows cant
>>18249851same logic from that rush area 51. ''they can't shoot all of us.'' you overwhelmed them because it took so long to reload
>>18249855Bitches love guns and bows
>>18249891Well you can only realistically hold three or four javelins at a time so depending on them for sustained skirmishing is retarded. Most Javeliniers in real life carried one, threw it at the enemy, and then charged into the melee.
>>18249866>white peopleThey have a nahuatl name for a reason
>>18249900If you beat Chad down in melee combat Stacy will suck your cock. If you shoot Chad she is not impressed, gets the ick over you cheating, and simply calls the police.
>>18249918Why are women so horny for a man shooting another man in the back?
>>18249943Because he is a Chad. If he looked like one of us then he would have no dinergoth sluts showing up to the courtroom.
A warrior with a shield can get close enough to an archer to throw a javelin or a rock at him. Also if you’re defending women, children, livestock, home and whatever stored food you have you need to stand and fight eventually.
>>18250089>archer You misread the OP.
>>18249851Shields and armor. Arrows do fuck all against heavy infantry.
>>18250172Except when they do get rolled off the field because they don't have enough support from cavarly or archers
>>18249851>Why did fighting go from primarly ranged in the stone age with atlatls to glorious melee combat with Sword durying the metal age?Fighting was brutal hand-to-hand with rocks and sticks for bazillions of years.
>>18249851Because technology evolved at different rate for different societies for different reasonsSword became a symbol of royalty, a larper weapon rather than real weapon. In real life, spears type/shield dominated melee. Where as bows/crossbows dominated range. And swords became a symbol
