Questions concerning Rate of "fire" per minute
JackCrafty:
There's several sources for very good tests on this subject. Here's just one of many:

People argue over the data and how it is collected and analyzed. They throw in their own "reasoning" as well. I won't beat on this dead horse. The tests are clear.
Ian.:
Jack I can promise you that the barebow test is false, there is no way 2mm carbon steel would deform like that. I have made armour and worked a lot of steel that plate looks more like 1.2 mm mild. I think its more advertising of his bows.
I don't think there is a good test done yet because there are just to many variables to take into account.
JackCrafty:
Ian, I think you are saying that the actual armor would provide better protection. I agree.
Ian.:
Yes, it wouldn't deform like tinfoil.
peasant1381:
Yep you need real armour to do a kosher armour test. What we've set out to show with the metal plate is that an arrow still has considerable powers of penetration at long range. Ballistic curves and terminal velocity etc.
