What Is Plate Armorry?

Satisfactory Essays

Hello Professor and Naobe, For as long as warfare and weaponry existed, methods to protect oneself from injury or death resulted in armor. Going back to the ancient Greeks, the Spartans were notorious for their helmets and shields. As time passes, weaponry and armor evolve. During the time of early firearms, I believe plate armor was being used and was effective against traditional weaponry such as bows and arrows and blades. There is a picture on page 260 of the textbook that depicts a battle with the majority of people wearing some type of armor. The new weaponry, cannons, and firearms, provided a way of getting through this armor, explosions. I found a video that shows an example of early firearms piercing through plate armor.
