Now etch some gargoyles in that gothic armor.

@equallyeasilyfuqyou I think this episode showed that the armour could stop it, but the bones inside would break.

Plate armor and balls of steal. Perfect knight.

@HolzmannsKnogar I used to watch Conquest, but then I took a knee to the arrow.

@Hotshotter3000 proved by english longbowmen during the hundred years war

@13jhow That is true. In fact, armorers were actually pressed to make better armor when firearms started to catch up and so when a man went to go purchase a piece (usually a cuirass) he would always check for round dent in the armor showing its proof that it could resist bullets, hence the term "bullet proof".

@13jhow They also forgot that pikemen had more to do with the downfall of knights than the early guns. Plus the longbow could penetrate a knights armor, too, and the crossbow as well.

@kaindrg Knights were expensive to field compared to musketeers and pikemen, or lighter cavalry using pistols and light lances, and just wernt really worth the cost since they wernt as effective as they had been Knights were also expensive to maintain, train and field on a long campaign, particularly the cost of the armour for their bodies, which was expensive in its own right not to mention the cost of the horses armour and each man-at-arms i.e knight had 2-3 horses on a long campaign
Knights and firearms coexisted for a hundred years, and an early musket ball had little chance of penetrating the knight's armor. It was economics that killed the knight, not firearms.
