Armour

You get a bonus 'u' in the title for armor because so many of my reference books are British!

I've got a little project going where I'm trying to make GURPS stats for armor from the early 20th century to today.

I decided to do this because of my "Steel Helmet" listing in my T2K conversion.

While the stats are, generally, the same between all steel helmets, they are not all the same.

Just like the only difference between 9mm pistols in GURPS is the number of shots and the weight.

Should be fun, and repetitive.

Probably going to limit to major versions and not sweat the minutia like the differences in the rim on M1 helmets. 

I will also endeavor to use brigandine correctly and not let spell checker trick me into saying brigantine again.

    Angus,
    Someone big enough to wear a brigantine is unlikely to have major concerns regarding body armour (unless a tacnuke is considered a sidearm). Contrariwise, combining brigandine and water is unlikely to end well:)
