That's becasue DW used butted mail, like I explained that's not correct to real mail used by Europeans. Proper mail will stop a spear thrust and arrows. Rivieted and solderd mail stops arrows (excepting Bodkin arrow tips), sword points and spear points. I know this for fact becasue I've read about from multiple sorces and I've seen live comparisions of butted vs rivited mail. There is a world of differance. It's not my opinion it's just a fact.
