Armed with Jack Chains, medieval foot soldiers advanced to the battlefield encased in an extra layer of protection. Attached to the soldier's arming jacket, these metal chains proved incredibly effective against slashing cuts and may have prevented up to 80% of potential injuries in arm-to-arm combat according to modern studies. This shielded its wearer against deep slashing cuts that would otherwise cause devastating damage.
