Next week it's that Pirate vs Knight. Not really sure how the hell they will do that. What the hell did pirates have? Cutlass, inaccurate flinter, parrot? They have mobility and visibility over the knight..
Simple single shot flintlock won't do well against plate armor. That's how they use to test plate- fire a ball at it to prove it was bulletproof. All those angles on plate will make it pretty damn hard for a cutlass to make much headway. Those knights were pretty badass. All that weight and they could still move pretty well. Experts have done some tests with the armor- scaling walls, falling etc. Pretty fast-unless their was mud.
Mud did the Frogs in at Agincourt. Brits had cloth, little armor. Frogs were heavy. Surface tension of metal in mud created suction- sucked them down. Brits had cloth/leather- no suction.

Unless the pirates first attack is to hit you with a chest full of a 15 pounder from a Long Tom.
