1) firearms in europe are older than plate armor. if you have knights in shining armor, excluding guns is anachronistic
2) plate armor actually evolved as a response to early guns among other things
3) battlefield economies of scale killed italian plate, not the appearance of guns

the thing about writing patho modern AUs is that i still want things to feel anachronistic and offset from any recognizable time and place, which means that the vibe ends up feeling the same as normal patho. except they have cell phones now.
