With heavy war arrows you can easily shoot through riveted mail and layers of gambeson. In this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ32VnjOQ28) you can see a war arrow going right through rived mail and 8 layers of gambeson.

This Guy is bowyer and historian, and will be presenting research about this very subject at a medieval studies conference this spring.

Have not checked HN in couple days, hope you notice this. I misspoke in my original comment I was referring to a jack not gambeson as arrow protection oops. And even bigger problem is that mail he uses is bad quality you can see from ring density and thickness. here is a great set of tests http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=11131&postdays...
