Material densities

What is the material densities for leather armour? Is it better to use a birch breastplate or a leather? What is 'elasticity'? This value does not exist in raws. Is it the Strain At Yeild divided by 10^3?

First sentence

The first sentence right now is too tautological: "A manufactured weapon is a manufactured weapon." Perhaps, instead: "A manufactured weapon is a tool [weapon] shaped or forged by humanoids for attacking." Or, "Weapon refers to manufactured weapons..."
Or even keep most of what it was before: "A weapon is one of two things: a manufactured weapon used by a dwarf or other humanoid, or a natural weapon like a fist, horn, web shot, or syndrome-causing breath attack. The distinction is worth noting - this page is mostly about manufactured weapons, and natural weapons HAVE their own, separate page."

Hopefully my new version of the first sentence is a little more informative and a little less circular. Remember that this wiki actively encourages editing, though, and that you would be free to fix things like this on your own. Calite 18:36, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
