∙ 13y agoA Viking's favorite weapons are axes and shields. but they used swords, spears and bows.
Great Axe:
-5ft
-7lbs
-wood & steel
-A long, slow, two-handed weapon that let gravity do the work. Vikings did use smaller, lighter axes, but the great axe was the most common.
Long Sword:
-3ft
-3lbs
-steel
-A wide, thick, double-edged sword that was widely used. It was kept in a wood and leather scabbard at the waist held either by the belt, or a strap going over the shoulder.
Spear:
-7ft
-6lbs
-wood & steel
-This weapon was commonly thrown, sometimes one in each hand. Effective at piercing shields and armor, but slow and inaccurate.
Battle Shield:
-3ft diameter
-6lbs
-wood, steel & iron
-This was a sturdy, round shield with an iron boss in the center for punching and deflecting. It was made of oak and reinforced with steel. Though not a lethal weapon, this shield could knock the enemy back, stun, and break ribs.
Long Bow:
-4.5ft
-under 3lbs
-wood, horsehair and steel tipped wooden arrows with cotton drenched in flammable liquid.
-The bow was not considered as honorable a weapon as an axe or sword. Though they would fire volleys of flaming arrows from the ship to decimate enemy infantry.
