The problem is that even a very low-powered arrow could theoretically kill you, if you're unlucky enough.

The danger of punches at least correlates somewhat predictably with their power, but for sharp penetrators, it's much harder to know beforehand how dangerous they are. A dagger slash or arrow that will not even leave a bruise after being stopped by your leather coat might be lethal within 30 seconds if it hit just a couple of inches higher, severing an artery in the neck.
