Dude, 5 armor is nothing compared to the armor of the Romani or Lusotannan. AP will only make a difference of 2.5 attack (assuming you fire from a direction the shield doesn't cover), which is far from enough to make up for the loss of attack and the far higher cost of the slingers. At least for the Celtic slingers.
