Breast plates were the reason heavy arbalest were developed that fired a 4-cornered bolt that would catch and tear the plate.
I've seen a demonstration like this before, when the first projectile was fired it bounced off as in the vid. What the guy did next was to put a small piece of plasticine on the tip and it punched straight through a Brittish army tin hat. The plasticine stopped it changing it's trajectory.
Amazing the way that V shaped piece at the top deflected the arrow away from the head. It worked perfectly but I wonder how many deaths it took to realise it was needed.
