Justin Ma & Blake Cole's arrow penetration test on Chinese lamellar armour replica
Added 2019-06-11 03:53:01 +0000 UTCI don't normally share other people's work here, but this is simply too good to pass up. Justin Ma and Blake Cole from The Way of Archery, in collaboration with Cathay Armoury, just released a arrow penetration test on Chinese armour as the first episode of their Warfare Research Series.
As far as I am aware, this is the first test on Asiatic lamellar armour conducted with authentic reproductions, scientific measuring equipment, sufficiently powerful bow and heavy arrows, and I must say both the bow and the armour performed remarkably well!
Well, I should refrain from spoiling too much and let the video do the talking. Go watch it. For that matter, please support their YouTube Channel and Patreon too!
