IE a fanatasy calvary charge against hi tech tanks.The conquistador's didn't just slaughter poorly equipped South American Natives. Their armor was useful in keeping them alive against gun powder using european opponents. Yes, a straight on shot is capable of penetrating the breast plate, but such shots occured far less frequently than the glancing shots. Which was very important, because infection caused by any wound was very likely to kill you after the fact, so the fewer wounds, the better.Otherwise, Joshua is known for coming across as condescending, whether he means to or not is unknown for sure. Besides, no one has a perfect knowledge of history, not even the historians. A lot of it is just their best guess based on what information they may have.Take WW2 for example. As recent as it is there are still a lot of unknown facts. Some of it intentionally hidden by various governments, some of it just simply kept secret for whatever reasons, some of it just never explained by anyone who was believed to know the truth.</blockquote>
