Umm, I'm sorry but your wrong on the mail, fact the Royal Armoury at Leeds concluded that "... it is almost impossible to penetrate using any conventional medieval weapon...".

Seriesuly use your brains people. Mail is expensive, why in the hell would it be used for 2,000 years if it's as useless as you think. The mail most people see is butted, junk renactemnt mail that not desinged for defense. I've see demonstrations of the difference between mail that it butted and mail that riveted, and the maker explained the difference and that mail stops sword and spear. It's not until the heavy lance statred be used that mail had to suppliment with plate.
