Very realistic. I will say, armor durability is something people have made out to be more an issue than those who originality fought and pierced it with less doubt or sneering, as if the armour were invincible in their time with their materials. But a crossbow always had more power than a bow, more easily fired. Might try this one out.

no they weren't able to

Why do not do this for bows ? English longbow (100lbs) was able to pierce plate armor...
