Thanks for the link. Amazing penetrative power. More importantly, I had no idea how difficult it would be to pull a pilum out.

Its one of the important roles historically accurate reenactment plays in figuring this stuff out. The acoup article also mentions that you can hold a pilum in your shield hand with your thumb for a short time but it being really uncomfortable.
