When it comes to body armor, it’s important to note that while all bulletproof vests are body armor, not all armor is bulletproof. The term "bulletproof vest" refers to a specific type of body armor, but there’s a broader spectrum of protective gear, each designed for different threats,...
All body armor types falls under the three selection categories; weight, threat level, and cost. There are a number of different materials used in the manufacture of armor plates. Among them are compressed laminates. This research presents an investigation on the effect of fiber and filler ...
Covering one’s body from head to toe in steel plates seems like the most obvious form of body armor, but there’s an art and a science behind it that goes well beyond “cover up everything that’s soft.” Sending an armored knight into combat when he can’t move is just as dumb ...

Defense: UHMWPE is used in the production of body armor and vehicle armor due to its exceptional strength and impact resistance. Sports Equipment: UHMWPE is used in the production of sports equipment such as ski bases, snowboards, and skateboards due to its low friction coefficient and durability...
Ganoid scales look like little rhomboids. These diamond-shaped plates fit side by side on the skin of a fish. The entire arrangement looks like tiles on the fish skin, providing it with bony armor. These scales rarely overlap. Ganoid scales are a characteristic feature of chondrosteans, fish...
After the Clicker phase, the infection starts growing over the body, creating calcified plates that serve as armor. These Infected, known as Bloaters, are extremely aggressive and don’t tumble easily. Like Clickers, they use echolocation to find prey, though the echolocation is much less refine...
