That's a good question. Before firearms were permitted even with no armor or shield players could use weapons to block attacks.
In other instances players got creative and used the environment. Meat shields, branches and other objects
I'm wondering if firearm OCs should forego defense altogether.
Yea, most firearms (even the most ancient ones like flintlocks) shred ye olde armor like nothing... At best, an armor could deflect the bullet if it was at an oddish angle.
Kinda reminds me of the 'Just as the founding fathers intended' copypasta.
