what the actual fuck

Imagine carrying that shit around.

you point the spears outward as to prevent the enemy from engaging you unscathed. having them vertical allows the enemy to engage you without reprisal.

They do turn the spears towards the enemy. The op has a pic from them while they were still forming the formation.

Their shields are still fuckhuge, but the spears were somewhat short.

You do realize there are other shit than European?

You do realize a blow to the legs is still fatal.

They never used them as efficiently or in strongly kept formations like europeans.
Most african shields are smaller.

so a chup chok waniwanga to you

That's why you carry a spear with you. To keep guys away. There is normally another guy behind you, with a spear too, to keep guys from getting all too close.
Top all of that with a semi crouched position and there is little chance for anyone to get your legs without eating a spear first.

Shields that big were simply not used. These are armies that need to march on foot for kilometers with not just weapons but food supplies on em.

Reminded me of this scene for some reason.

Those are ceremonial, you Anti-Eurocentrist cuck.
