@arstechnica Well, I don't know. Sticking a marine, with modern military training, into a modern reproduction of historical piece of gear and then trying to make deductions from that data, looks rather scetchy experiment designe to me. It's like sitting a F1 driver on a racing bike to figure out whether the racing bike is any good 🤷
