Body Armour

For all intents and purposes military body armor is useless against anything but fragmentation weapons. Any full jacketed military round would barely notice anything light enough for an infantryman to wear.
That said, I seem to recall that a study done during WW II indicated that something like 70% of casualties we caused by fragmentation type weapons.

I am sure this was the case until a few years ago. But with modern composite plates resistance against against military rifles round has been achieved. Interceptor with the ceramic plates can stop 7.62x51 standard rounds, although as I said I do not have a numerical breakdown of what would happen after (incapacitated percentages of body armor fitted troops vs ones without etc.)
