I didn't really think about that very much when
writing up the list. I think assumed base material
is iron or low quality steel. Obviously softer stuff
like bronze would give 1 less protection and weigh
less. How much is debatable, maybe 0.5 to 1 weight
factor less, depending on material.
I looked up some densities for bronze and steel.
They're pretty close (bronze ~ 7.4-8.9 g/cm3, steel ~
7.5 ~ 8.0 g/cm3). So, I'd say same weight, less
protection.
