Although mountain armor is the main piece I am interested in, I wouldn't mind the occasional drift to just armors in general.
So how effective is Chinese mountain armor?
It states here that although it is protective, it is unpopular due to complicated production. And it makes sense, considering that this is the popular officer's armor.
Yet, previous attempted reconstructions would result in defects.
My question is also along the lines of, if the construction is correct and the armor is therefore feasible, is it resistant to arquebusier shots?
