That bit in 300 where the guys like "Our Arrows will blot out the sun" and Stellios is like "W311 \/\/3 \/\/I11 FI6|-|+ In T3H $H4D3" actually happened so i assume that the Spartans at one point or another went up against a magnitude of arrows that we can't really imagine. And survived. Plus they had really big shields...

Its in documented history (as is Jesus actually and more than the Bible, they proved a while ago a man named Jesus Christ was alive around that time, but wither or not he done what is claimed is another story) and i completely understand that there is a chance it never happened but a lot of historians seem to agree on it (the majority in fact) and like most things the majority win (i.e Presidential Elections,The existence of Gravity, etc etc) Arrows go up at different speeds true, but they all have the same gravitational pull on them pulling them down and as a result they come down at around the same speed so the raining arrows would pass in seconds. Assuming you got the majority of your being under you shield that has a 3 foot radius you 'd be fine.

the trojans from the movie Troy. or the Spartans from the movie 300.M-e-t-h-o-d-206
the trojans would get destroyed. They were only good because of the Wall that they were shooting their arrows out of. The only one I would be concerned about dealing with was Hector.
[QUOTE="Apollo5000"]Trojans really weren't depicted to be that good at fighting. After all it took them ten years and a Wooden Horse to get inside a wall. And there best warrior got beat by Paris the wimp because he didn't have good enough shoes. Spartans faced millions of Persians and totally whipped them without a flaw, even when the Immortals came into it they still fought amazingly.
Take the Trojans invading Sparta the same way as the Persians and you'll see who'll come out the victor. Or even take the 300 Spartan them inside the walls at the Trojan campaign the result will be the same.
Plus Leonidas could totally take Achilles.mark4091
Actually the guy with the not good enough shoes was Achilles, and he didnt fight for troy, he fought for the greeks.

If they are right above them then its even better, just sit the shield on your back, or make your little Spartan cone thing and just wait.

But archers were the pain defense of Trojans! It was their main force! "The best archers in all the land". They never lost until the trojan horse...for a good reason. There that great, they were stupid enough to bring in a giant wooden horse that housed over 50 fully armed warriors and then went for an early night... They never lost the war, because nobody could get in the walls of troy. Even if there were no archers, they still wouldn't have got in. The archers just made sure whatever tried, died. If the Archers were that could the battle wouldn't have gone on 10 years and they wouldn't have lost.
Now you're just making stuff up...a55assinacctually, he is completly correct. and looking back on the paragraph where you stated that the spartans would be able to do nothing while the arrows were firing. the same goes for the persians, afterall the persians would be getting shot by their own men if they attempted to charge while the arrows were being shot. that is why the Spartans were so sucsesfull because as w/e his name is, said that the numbers would count for nothing. and they didn't until they were flanked
