Read the draft passage. [1] The development of new types of blacksmith techniques in medieval times led to the widespread use of steel armor to protect
soldiers during wartime. [2] The earliest version of the armor was called "mail." [3] Mail was clunky and heavy. [4] It deflected weapons but
also slowed the wearer down. [5] Blacksmiths soon found that the more motion and quickness armor allowed, the less protection it provided.
[6] For instance, full plate mail sometimes weighed 75 pounds. [7] A knight wearing a suit of plate mail might walk through a hailstorm of
arrows and Slingshots unharmed. [8] He was far too encumbered to fight against a single pikeman or lancer.
