14th century

16th century and it makes a big difference.

16th century means you are fighting guns on the battlefield, though halberds were still used cause the guns were very slow.

But a bullet will pass through you if you were unarmored. If you had armor, the armor catches the bullet and then stabs you, so now you can't even remove the armor anymore. So it's worse... The bullet AND armor is embedded inside you.
