After reading the book I can look of the development of modern day body armor and see that we have improved an incredible amount since the Medieval Knight’s time period.

Imagine two gentlemen facing off in a Southern forest. Suddenly a shot crackles through the air‚ and a man falls dead to the ground. Later‚ the killer is not charged with murder or put before a judge or jury. Dueling is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as‚ “a fight between two people that includes the use of weapons (such as guns or swords) that usually happens while other people watch.” Some people consider dueling an art form‚ but most people now consider dueling a barbaric method of settling petty
