The numbers speak for themselves - armor is completely useless against even copper bolts. There is no significant difference between any of the results - I think the small differences are just due to random statistics. I will try to test this with a few more combinations, and maybe repeat a few of the tests for more statistics, but my preliminary results have pretty much confirmed my suspicion that armor does nothing against metal bolts. This just leaves the question, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqoDL4KlxvY why do we even wear it] :P ? --[[User:Pirate Bob|Pirate Bob]] 20:40, 17 August 2012 (UTC) | The numbers speak for themselves - armor is completely useless against even copper bolts.

For more science you could mod a little and test again. For example mod the bolts to blunt attack and see if it has any differences in piercing adamantine. Or make the contact area larger. Also I recall an old [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=89997.msg2488474#msg2488474 experiment]about weight affecting bolts, the result was no significant difference. So there is a paradox: if we accept that weight has no effect, the pine bolts show meterial sharpness has some effect, while the variant metal bolts show that sharpness has little to no effect. So I advice do the experiment again with silver and adamantine bolts. --[[User:Lcy03406|Lcy03406]] 04:45, 18 August 2012 (UTC) | For more science you could mod a little and test again.
