Shoting Scale Maille With A Crossbow

I got nothing better to do. The small black scales are made of aluminum and the larger silver scales are mild steel.

Even plate armor could be punctured by an arrow or crossbow bolt. Armor is meant to protect against melee weapons.

@MrAwsome514 plate armor does offer protection from arrows and bolts depending on range of coarse. i have shot at the steel plate which was about as strong as the hardened plate armor they would have used. but if i were to use a solid wood shafted arrow or bolt i would have must likely had a different result.

@pdicestunnerz the large silver scales are nickel plated mild steel and the small black one are aluminum

it did nothing to stop the bolts

[thebrainization]

@Ackarattack it actually did they went in about a 1/4 of what they usually do

Funny thing is I'm not surprised the bolts went through, considering Crossbows were originally made to punch right through a knight's steal armor...But considering that is aluminum scales.. ya.
