Body Armor

I've got notes about GURPS armor all over the place.

I'm getting it compiled.

Getting all the liners for the M1 helmet in a file rather than on this blog is a good idea I think.

It's resulting in, further, changes to my T2K conversion.

Isn't it odd that research always results in changes?

The 6BZT is replaced by the 6B2 and supplemented with the 6B3T and 6BTM-01.

Got to really have a think about a, relatively, thick aramid vest with titanium plates.

It's kinda brigandine in construction.  <-- Fixed.  Spell checker thinks I meant ships.

    2. Brigandine is metal plates attached to cloth or leather. The 6B3T is titanium plates attached to the Soviet equivalent to Kevlar.

  2. Pedant mode on, armor is usually spelled brigandine while brigantine is ship with a square rigged foremast and fore and aft rigged main mast, and also a place in New Jersey

      I hate when I do that. Especially when I have it right the first time and I trust the spell checker telling me it's wrong. It knows brigantine, not brigandine.

    2. Time to break out the CAT5 of nine tails and teach your spell checker.
