Imagine trying to take a dump and getting an arrow right in the taint...

How thick is the arrow? Asking for a friend

If the arrow doesn't kill them and they sound the alarm, you'd be in deep shit.

I've always wondered this. if you're surrounded and your shitter is the version that opens to the outside, your hanging ass is entirely visible to anyone. If you're locked in the keep, do you just plan to hold it for an entire standoff?

I mean... I'd collect it and fire it at the enemy... Certainly not hanging my bare ass over the wall during a siege.

You'd probably be emptying your chamber pot during moments of calm rather than shitting directly on the shitter at that point.
