No it doesn't go into the chest, that's no how forces work

a glance into a hard blow is better than a straight blow

if it was properly deflected

i mean its significantly better that a blow deflects rather than impacts

like initial strike subrtracts a certain abount of force

cavities = more impact

I think Shad has a video on this exact topic

then the rest goes to the crevice

shad as in shadman?

yeah but you want as many neutons as possible off to the side

shadiversity presumably

oh ok

idk man shadman shows up when you least expect it

i mean it's not *great*

hey man

>Shadman

but it's probably not as bad as it's made to be

if you want to spend hundreds of dollars on a boob plate

and then test it

go nuts

as an aside

Holy shit

Yes

womens bones are also a lot weaker then mens

even if the armour doesnt get pierced

by by sternum

bye bye

and presto its a woman with a penis

i mean

you should have enough padding to prevent a break

still its just not good

If you think you can glance a blow off plate and shatter a sternum, you've never swung a sword

how about just not have that

a pointed weapon would have a hard time causing a break if it doesnt pierce

Hypothetical combat scenario, if you had a boob plate, and took a glance off the side, you'd be better off than a flatter plate, as the rounding redirects much more of the strike. However, if the strike hits more center, the rounding focuses that blow towards the center. If not already harmful, you get a more direct force, potentially imbalancing you or knocking you down, which spells death in most circumstances.

you dont swing a thrust
