Default Stuck low tech missile and thrown projectiles

Has having arrows or thrown weapons getting stuck in a character or on their armor been covered?

It seems that Romans used thrown javelins (pilum) to force opponents to drop their shields as the stuck javelins encumbered the shields and were difficult to remove during a battle.

Similarly, arrows would tend to stick to the target if they do damage.

Of course, sometimes arrows and thrown weapons would bounce off, but more likely it seems that low-tech projectiles would get stuck on shields or armor if not stuck in the struck character.
