Bodkin point

rdfs:comment

The name comes from the Old English word bodkin or bodekin, a type of sharp, pointed dagger. Arrows of the long bodkin type were used by the Vikings and were continued to be used through the Middle Ages. The bodkin point eventually fell out of use during the 16th and 17th centuries[citation needed]. Firearms were beginning to dominate the battlefield and would make infantry armour largely obsolete in the coming centuries, though it was still used to a limited extent as late as the First World War.
