medieval arrows vs armor - cool test video
OK, I'm sure no one is going to be surprised by the results, but this is still really cool.
They use authentic (as far as they can tell) reproductions (using period correct materials and methods) of the bow, arrows, arrow heads, and armor. They then shoot the arrows at the armor complete with under garments and ballistic gel.
I thought the whole thing was very interesting.
