Iron is some brittle stuff, and snaps easily against steel armor.

Steel has no excuse. In fact, now that I think of it, why does the stronger material get destroyed much sooner than the inferior material? And what exactly is an iron or steel bow supposed to look like anyways? Shit's deep, man!

And yet, Silver is the strongest of all. 

Some things I'll never understand. 

Well that part makes perfect sense. It's an allegory, much like the original Wizard of Oz and Dorothy's silver (not ruby!) slippers: silver represents the wealth of the elite - which is clearly powerful - but also its illusory and transient nature, e.g. bankruptcy, stock market mechanations, or a proletariat uprising. Therefore, it's the most temporary of the weapon classes as well. As I said before, deep.

Alternatively, foes could just be so awestruck at your wastefulness that they're distracted and vulnerable.
