I agree, one of my favorite channels. Some seriously impressie stuff. This is no exception, looks stunning! Well, until it gets bloody

im confused as to why there is a bar running throung the middle and a spring on the outside. why have the spring on the outside at all or back when they were being used originally were they just a spring that flailed about like some sort of cenobite sextoy

The real WWI weapons had no bar on the inside. It was designed to be swung like a whip for increased impact velocity.

The spring was very solid, making the club only semi-flexible, so it isn't going to swing like a sextoy.

Man at arms were making a replica of the BF1 in-game item, which is completely solid, which is why this build is so strange.

So they gave themselves more work than what was originally needed lol. I knew there has to have been a reason to have it with a spring instead of a solid bar but never looked into it myself. Anyone else enjoying the game as mich as me.

It really depends on how well their spring worked, I imagine a handforged spring would not have as much tension as a machine made spring.

They are making the spring to replicate the look. How can you not see that?
I'm pretty sure it functionally helps to absorb shock as well.

 

[Kleptobot]

Also helps reduce the mass by not being completely solid

 

[NeverBackDown]

Yeah another good point

Also, try grabbing a swinging tensioned spring during battle, that sounds like it could hurt if you tried to grab it mid swing. I certainly wouldn't like to be fighting against someone with it.
