A thrust can pirece it but it takes a very fine point and alot of force, it's the blunt trauma that's the bane of mail. While hacks can give a good amount of blunt trauma, the padding under the mail helps abosrb the energy of a hack. But that being said none of Trung Trac's weapons are really good at hacking, the dao a little bit but curved swords are as good for hacks as straight swords.
