What gauge would you recommend for splinted armour?

Raibeart,
Thank you!
I could not remember if there was a [attern here or not.

16 ga mild works well also. Just remember...the higher the ga the higher the weight.

Just a note 16gauge works great. You MUST curve them though or they'll bend every time they're hit.
