David Sim and I have been conducting a range of tests on pila to reproduce the various types of bend found and test penetration capabilities under controlled conditions. We will be publishing the results (I hope) in JRMES 18 later this year. Summary results are in my forthcoming Osprey book on the pilum (out May 18th I believe).
