Here's a good one: Boromir takes three arrows, shot from a longbow by Lurtz, a huge Uruk, at about a hundred yards, while wearing (presumably) only a mail-shirt for protection, and does not even fall over for a couple of minutes, yet in RotK, the fully-armored sentry at Osgilliath is hit by one arrow, from by the shortbow of a little runt of an orc at something like three hundred yards, at around a 45 degree angle, and it not only goes straight through the most heavily sloped part of his breastplate but knocks him right off his feet. Bad. Really bad.
