Index card 30

http://www.indiastudychannel.com/resources/8491-Hand-cannon.aspx

The hand cannon was the first form of fire arm that was able to be mass produced so that many people could carry it. It only had a range of about 50 yards so it do all that much damage. However, if you did hit someone, they would die, making ideal for ambushes and seiges.

Index card 29

http://www.silcom.com/~vikman/isles/scriptorium/firearm/match.html

The first matchlock weapons weren't very good. The powder would often get wet and the fuse was hard to light. So in the case of an ambush, someone carrying this weapon would be in deep trouble. Soon an mod came that moved a sliding cover over the powder pan when the trigger was pulled.

Daily progress

My actions for today were to make 25 index cards and find more sites for delicious.
Today I found more sites for delicious and made 28 index cards
This helped me find more info for the final project
My next actions are to finish the 30 index cards.

Index card 28

http://members.tripod.com/warviking/realweaponsandarmor.html

To a viking the sword was the most important weapon. The battle axe was very deadly and used as a cutting weapon.

Index card 27

http://www.samuraiweapons.org/

Samurais were elite warriors and were skilled in many weapon types from bow and arrows to their iconic swords.

Index card 26

http://www.middle-ages.org.uk/middle-ages-weapons.htm

Men-at-arms carried pole-arms, axes, maces, pikes, spears, and anything else that they could find. Knights used different swords like the broadsword, falchion, and long sword, along with a lance.

Index card 25

http://crusades.suite101.com/article.cfm/knights_templar

Templars carried a broadsword, lance and knife into battle. Personal effects and art weren't allowed on these weapons because they belonged to the order and not to the individual knight. Punishment for this would be expulsion from the order.

Index card 24

http://www.middle-ages.org.uk/scimitar.htm

Scimitars were saracen swords with a curved blade used for cutting and slashing at enemy troops. These were primarily carried during the crusades.

Index card 23

http://members.ozemail.com.au/~ancientpersia/weapons.html

Persians used many weapons that originaly came from greek or egyptian design. The akinakes were short swords and kopises were axes.

Index card 22

http://www.jelldragon.com/specials/spec1064.htm

The francisca was a throwing axe developed by the frankish tribes and was used both as a missile and melee weapon

Index card 21

http://british-dark-middle-ages.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_anglosaxon_warrior

The spear to the anglo-saxon warrir was used as either a hand to hand combat weapon or as a missile. The sword wasn't as common because only the wealthiest of warriors could own it. The Seaxe was a knife that would be used as a tool and a last ditch weapon. Since training didn't cover the use of ranged weapons, the sling and bow and arrow, these were even less common than the sword. Killing a foe at long range was also not considered honorable.

Index card 20

http://www.celticgrounds.com/chapters/c-weapons.htm

The main weapon of the celtic soldier was the spear but they also used varying types of swords. At the start they were short and made of bronze, this soon evolved into the typical broadsword of the middle ages

Index card 19

http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~wew/fencing/blades.html

Rapiers didn't see much of the battlefield since they were a smaller sword than the broadsword. The typical period to see one of these weapons would be around the 1600's

Status Report

1) So far I have done a majority of my research and started working out the details of the final project.
2)I still have to finish the research and make the final project
3) Finding sites with different info from each other was harder than I thought
4) Some of the details were actually pretty easy to do like the chance and community chest cards. Also finding sites was not a problem
5) I would finish the research before starting on the final presentation
6) Before spring break I need to finish the research
