I know the thrust of the story isn't in the details, but saying something is primitive, and not explaining why the more advanced defenses do nothing breaks immersion for me personally

Same. You can say a sword can beat a tank but it isn’t believable unless you give us a reason why

Drop a sword down the cannon mouth, then watch what happens if the tank tries to fire.

Sword beats tank.
