You will need to make a dozen or so of those and test them against cloth, leather and some sort of light steel. And you would have to use plain lead to compare them, to see if they can punch holes as well as the winged gland.

The steel bands that are used to hold heavy stuff to wooden pallets would make decent armor plates for a lamellar or scale type armor. A sample target would only need about 8 strips.

seems like a waste of a good pig (says he with his charcuterie hat on).

why not use ballistic gellatin ?
Or just ordinary gelatin but made thick.

The wings would definitely cause a lot more damage to flesh as they would rip up more tissue with the drilling action.

My predictions are that winged glandes won't penetrate as much as unwinged, but would produce much larger, nastier wounds. Much like dumdum bullets.

I believe it has to be read this way :

Surgical steel cuts straight through awe.
Well as they say nothing new under the sun

Even if I'm not sure of the meaning of the second sentence...

Jlasud, let me check some price and I will send you a PM.
