I thought the whole point of armor was.... Oh, never mind.

I have exactly the same frustration. In some movies soldiers wearing a hamata die instantly when they get a swordslash acros their stomach, this is even worse than stabs going through.

Indeed! Even the BBC did that in their latest series about the Roman empire, when some assassin stabbed an armoured guard through his hamata, killing him instantly. :evil:
