The "cart ramparts" or whatever were just one of many improvisations Hussites had to make in order to fight Zikmund's armies. Another popular example are the farm tools they used as weapons. Flails are usualy used to seperate the wheat from the chaff, but who's to say you can't cave in some poor sod's skull with it?


That reminds me: Around that time the first gunpowder weapons were making an appearence in the middle Europe. The long, primitive rifles were called "píšťaly" (whistles), and later the word "pistol" was born from that. The more you know!
