laudes MAGNvS!!!!!!!!
BTW... I would love to test this theory with my armour splicing pugio, gladius, bow an pilvm, and the cutting through mail theory with my real Japanese katana, on any living subject willing to be on the receiving side. he needs to be fully medically insured and sign off a release form before actually engaging in this test.
I know for a fact you will need to go to the hospital afterwards!
I have seen riveted mail hung over a pigs body being thoroughly devastated by a pugio.......
and internal bleeding factor has not even been mentioned yet, so i will throw that in too!
riveted mail is slightly stronger of course, however to imagine a thrust like that is physically impossible is imho a bit strange and unnattainable if you would have studied martial arts and its physics / scientific power leverage a bit better.....
