Tod over at Tod's Workshop[1] on YouTube has done a number of interesting practical tests of various medieval weapons against armor. They really show why the armor technology was driven in the direction it was, and how weapons and fighting evolved to compensate. Also Matt over at Schola Gladiatoria[2] recently had some videos on his reproduction plate armor, including one on the gaps[3] in the armor. At least in the context of Dune, as highlighted in the article, the armor designers probably should have looked more towards medieval armor technology.
