2,185 to 1.  ;D

If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Yeah, but he started charging at the army before they could shoot.

Someone said his name was John III Rambo.

That'd be me :P
Just stay alive and kicking, raise your voice when its needed. Through reason you can show the mistakes of others, something violence can't do.

I don't break rules, I bend them- a lot.

Hah, is that even physically possible? As in, is there enough surface area on the human body for 6584 arrows to hit?

Reminds me of 300!

I saw this too in Sirion, scribe report shared by one of our realm's nobles from the La Pointe family.

O.o damn, someone give that peasant a medal! Seriously, I was thinking of 300 when I heard that he got 6000+ arrows. But even Leonidas couldn't pull that off.

A great many of them probably just split other arrows already hit.

Now, if we assume that each arrow weighs about 4 ounces, that's 1,646 pounds worth of arrow embedded into the body of this one person. That's not so much a hedgehog as a hedge with potentially a hog somewhere inside. I like to imagine that the peasant in question literally kept charging until the weight of accumulated arrows crushed him, because there was no other way, he kept on coming.
