Battles where martial arts that defeated Guns, rifles.( Chinese , Zulu , Japanese pirates , spanish

[ButlerKing]

Wether it's video games or movies, it's always better to watch/play wutg medieval army than a modern army

I have the greatest respect for warriors that who didn't give even to modern warfare and even defeated a army of soldiers like guns, cannons, rifles. 10 person with a rifle can easily take out 100 people from a distance we all know that.

I personally I think guns are the biggest cheating weapon to win a war. It destroys years of hard work and years of tactics but there are battles and victories that had proven that wrong.
