No... infact the invention and utilization of primitive gunpowder by the Chinese and later used as artillery bombardments by the Arabs actually brought the age of knights and the crusades to an end after the fall of Byzantine Empire. Gunpowder is formed from collective agents used as an explosive (physically much of the force potential is wasted through the actual mechanisms of black powder and more refined uses of gunpowder were needed), but this force potential adding to the relative durability to armor is far greater. By being able to fire in both great distances and use the advantage of black smoke to confuse what was then a relatively close counter combat, gunpowder revolutionized how fortified castles could be brought down and how soldiers did not need to train all their lives for combat, such as knights did (thus having a limited amount of knights) and being able to train well prepared militias quickly to counter surging chargers brought the era of knights to an end. Yah for history and Physics!
