Can someone post pictures of byzantine and turkish armour during the first crusade?

Thanks

By the way, can anyone verify if the image is accurate?

When did wearing armour become obsolete?

They picked some iconic looking warriors from very different context and didn't go into details. They even admit this in the text.

You have "Roman armor" as lorica segmentata even though Roman armor spanned many centuries and had many variations. The same goes for most of the ancient and medieval examples.
Also apples and oranges.
The 18th century soldiers are mounted cuirassiers but the 1815 is an infantryman. 1920 something is a parade uniform.

A better one would have compared English cavalrymen over the centuries, for example.

Too heavy and expensive. Armies after the late 17th century couldn't afford to equip all their soldiers with armor as the armies themselves became much bigger and were now required to march for even longer distances and move faster during battles and armor affected their mobility.
So only cavalry used steel cuirasses until the 20th century or specialized units like combat engineers during the Napoleonic wars.

I’ve worn this it was really comfy but the pistol was heavy for some reason

Never it’s still worn to this day

That stuff is basically the medieval descendant of the segmented cuirass from the roman era. Not a direct line of descent though, mind you.

Why sea so few armor

could armor stop a musket ball or even a bullet?

Not at all

>musket ball or even a bullet
wat

Also, yes, but (depending on bullet weight, powder charge, distance) only very heavy or hardened (expensive) armor.
Basically, you can be certain that the people at the time did experiments and plans as to wether armor would be an effective and economically viable way to protect your soldiers, then eventually decided against it.
