I think you misunderstand the point of this exercise, and my posts. It is not to say definitively how these things will play out. That of course, is silly, since this is an RP Fantasy would, and people are free to make their own decisions based on the Lore and their preferences
However, people who aren't sure how they want to treat guns, firearms, and armor, might find it useful to have some real world context, in order to help them RP.
Oh I did not misunderstand the topic, and I was not really commenting on your post or anyone elses. As you say...
"However, people who aren't sure how they want to treat guns, firearms, and armor, might find it useful to have some real world context, in order to help them RP."
As such I am adding the real life perspective of someone who has been military trained in the use of many fire arms, and has used them in live fire. Precision combat training for officers includes history and physics study in fire arms, reviewing in detail among other things the practical and historic cat and mouse game that is arms vs armor.
I simply offer that prespective to those wishing to understand the interaction from a rl point of view.
