The bug
Again, you can't get damaged by shooting an armor stand with a full suit of armor enchanted with thorns.
How to reproduce
Enchant a full suit of any armor with thorns
Put it on an armor stand
Get a bow, crossbow and arrows and go to survival
Shoot it
Observed results:
You don't get damaged by the thorns, since projectiles get also affected by thorns.
Expected results:
You should get damaged, just like a skeleton shooting you with a full suit of netherite armor with thorns.

Note: Thorns (or in general: enchantment effects that take effect after attacks) never take effect on killing blows, since the gear is no longer equipped on a dead entity. Arrows one-shot armor stands.
Sorry but I could not attach a video, it was too large to attach
