Correct!
ACB, an arrow is verry different from the sword, Justin knows what he's talking about when he made the above post. And an arrow shot from a long bow, well, it worked VERY WELL!!!
And Justin, about your other post, "wouldn't a hard thrust penetrate?" Yes, LOL! But you can penetrate anything with a hard enough thrust! The probolm is, making the thrust hard enough! It probably would on average, unless I had a good coat of mail, but if I were to take you on like that, I wouldn't use the broad sword, I would use the halberd! 
And as far as the wieght, I wouldn't be abble to strike as quick, or parry as well, but if I did strike, a good down ward blow, you would have to move pretty quick! And if you were just a fraction of a second too slow, sorry, but you're either dead, or wounded very badly. 
Am I getting annoying?
"There are two things never to be lost sight of by a military commander. Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible; and when you strike and overcome him, never give up the pursuit as long as your men have strength to follow; for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic-stricken, and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds, if by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of your enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time, and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail, and repeated victory will make it invincible." - Stonewall Jackson
