Yeah. the resistance described in the books is a "slight tugging" which i doubt a cannonball will care too much about

Yeah, but i was thinking that the ball would simply continue on its path with a decent chunk of its energy intact, it just happens to be cut in half

yes, it's already been fairly well established that a Radiant of a high enough level would be far more than a match for a firearm, however i was talking more about non-radiant Shardbearers.

Yeah, it would kill any normal person. I forgot about the insane acceleration that a stunt like that would do. But if the Shardbearer has their arms against a solid wall, that might shatter their arm pieces, arm bones, and possibly the wall, but should leave them relatively alive right? (Someone with a bigger brain and good numbers please do some physics to confirm this?)

The original inspiration for this question was cannons vs plate. However, plate would likely not fare so well against a cannon. But, what about blades? Unlike plate, we know blade to be near indestructible, unless confronted by Nightblood. If a Shardbearer put the flat of their Blade to the cannon ball, and braced it with their Plate enhanced strength, what would happen? I think that the bearer would be forced backwards immensely, but otherwise survive the cannon shot.i have also thought of using Blades as armor while reading WoK before the introduction of plate, like theoretically collecting enough blades to provide a reasonable protection.

i think that says it all about Plate vs guns.

The title i think says it all. Guns on Roshar? How effective would they be against, say, Plate and Blade wielders and what about ordinary soldiers? What fabrials could protect from firearms, and would they be made with fabrials? Anything else? This is probably a really simple question but I’m interested to see some creative thoughts.
