I’m 24, I practice fencing. My height is 198 cm, I usually fence against shorter opponents. They often manage to drive their smallsword into my belly. That’s why I’m curious: what would it be like to get wounded into the belly by a real smallsword? How lethal would it be? How painful? How would I react?
One of the shows I’ve been watching had this as its twist, part of a cliffhanger. There were hints before but you can’t not object to a short sword embedded in a guys belly having so little impact
