[Ansteorra-missile] Clear the bow!

[Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair]

I got a chance to drop my armor and go play with the rapier guys at BAM 
and had a blast.  Why could we not use society standard for both armored 
and rapier?  I'm really not into pain that much, but I haven't been able 
to tell a difference between a 2 layer and 3 layer tip.  Baldar's are 
another matter.
