Default Re: Body Armour

On a purely anedocte basis it seems that you can get shot at with an AK-47 and if the bullet hits the hard plates you can get away with minor bruises and be still combat effective, but this of course is only a fraction of the possible cases. The soldier who gets shot both in the arm and in the chest is still a casualty for example even if he is much better off than it would have been otherwise.
