A)In the intro of the story, it shows the Guard breaking open the door without a ram.
Some people have stronger doors than others.
B)Your battleaxe example is horribley dumb. A battleaxe is designed to kill infantrymen; not trees. A ram is designed to attack stationary structures; not infantrymen
Says the guy that forgot to drop the "e" when he adds "ly".
Your sheer oppressive vanity is showing. I was using a battleaxe as a better way to relate to battle. If you so choose to point out the flaw in the analogy, think for a second about how else the analogy could work, rather than deeming anything you don't have time to conemplate dumb. People kill other people with fire axes (also for knocking down doors), pickaxes, woodaxes, and hatchets if other weapons are unavailable.
C)It is stupid to think that anyone would use a ram as a weapon. When raiding a house, the guy would ram open the door and step aside to let team members rush in. The person with the ram either stays where he is or he drops the ram and rushes in with a diffrent weapon.
There you go making personal remarks again. Who exactly is saying that anyone would use a ram as a weapon?
It is truly ridiculous to think that anyone would use a long, heavy stick on a horse to dismount the other bloke on a horse when they could, instead, hack at the horse with a broadsword. In the sense of the sheer devastating power of the lance, the ram could just as well be used as such. When the cavalry charge is over, he dismounts so as not to unnecessarily risk his horse, and continues hacking at the enemy with a broadsword again.
Buggy, your spoiler got the cause and effect wrong. If we mind it, we cease to take you seriously.
