Visigoths Missile Infantry

Slavic Archers

In battle, the archer needed to be peerless. His aim had to be unfailingly precise or else he was next to useless - a mere distraction for a determined enemy force. Arrows had great power and impact but, before the development of the bodkin-point arrowhead, if they were aimed even slightly off target, they would bounce off armour rather than pierce it. The bodkin-point was thinner than its broadhead-point counterpart, and was therefore better at piercing mail and some plate armours due to its smaller surface area. Bodkin-pointed arrowheads were used mainly by the Viking Danes but caught on across Europe. However, they didn't eclipse the more common broadhead-point, which were generally better at cutting through flesh and causing serious, mortal wounds.
