Also unless the bows in tests are crafted the traditional way, they are most likely more powerful than in the past. Also armor is nearly always inferior to what it was back then

Also what is often forgotten in modern tests, is that if arrow goes like 2-3cm deep in chestplate, that most likely is not lethal. It hurts but doesn't kill Ok, let me emphasize on the subject, as a knowledged archer (at least as I consider ,myself after 4-5 years of archery), I have to say that a bodkin tip arrow and a 100-120lbs bow(standard english longbow) are more than enough to go through chainmail, most padding and puncture decent holes through heat trated steel armor. In the case of the latter, it may not be deadly, but surely pack a punch and enough to knock you back. As of the case of 2-3cm deep penetration, no, it would definietly not kill you IF you had padding underneath, as I said a longbow and bodkin arrows can easily put a 5 cm hole in a good chest plate at optimal range, and unless you have padding underneath, that can easily be your heart, lung or skull it hits and in minectraft, armor is pretty much one solid piece of metal with no sort of gap between it and you. So it's anyone's game at this point.

All I'm trying to do is clear out this subject, not eventating my oppinion or siding with anyone. Hope this was helpful
