The last time armour able to protect fully against any sort of anti-personal, non-widespread damage was available was sometime in the middle ages. Given the advent of energy weapons, I doubt nanotechnology will do much to protect us in the future.
- AutoCorrect 14y agonot even then - the English longbow went through armor like butter - it pissed the Aristocracy off to no end that a commoner could kill them from a distance.
- claudius 14y agoWikipedia mentions 1135 as the first recorded use of such archery and the prominent battle of Agincourt took place in 1415, so I find it fair to say that before that, armour was a somewhat decent defence – with the middle ages ranging from roughly 800 to roughly 1500, I think ‘sometime during the middle ages’ is somewhat correct.
