Vests intended for police and military use may also include ballistic shoulder and side protection armor components, and explosive ordnance disposal technicians wear heavy armor and helmets with face visors and spine protection. Medieval armor often offered protection for all of the limbs, including metal boots for the lower legs, gauntlets for the hands and wrists, and greaves for the legs. Today, protection of limbs from bombs is provided by a bombsuit. Most modern soldiers sacrifice limb protection for mobility, since armor thick enough to stop bullets would greatly inhibit movement

Gun shield


A gun shield is a flat (or sometimes curved) piece of armor designed to be mounted on a crew-served weapon such as a machine gun or artillery piece, or, more rarely, to be used with an assault rifle. Some mounted machine guns and artillery pieces are equipped with metal armor plates to protect the gunners from sniper fire and shrapnel from explosions. Salvaged metal plates can sometimes service as improvised gun shields; in the Vietnam War crews of armored fighting vehicles and patrol boats would attach metal plates to the

A cuirass (; , ) is a piece of armor that is formed of a single or multiple pieces of metal or other rigid material which covers the torso. The use of the term "cuirass" generally refers to both the chest plate (or breast plate) and the back piece together. Whereas a chest plate only protects the front and a back plate only protects the back, a cuirass protects both the front and the back. In Hellenistic and Roman times, the musculature of the male torso was idealized in the form

as fast as larger ones did, cruisers still needed some form of protection to preclude being shot to pieces. The adoption of rolled iron armor in 1865 and sandwich armor in 1870 gave ships a chance to withstand fire from larger guns. Both these protective schemes used wood as an important component, which made them extremely heavy and limited speed, the key factor in a cruiser's ability to perform its duties satisfactorily.

This technology dates back to ancient times as early as Greek and Roman Republics. Back then, shin guards were viewed as purely protective

The armored cruiser was developed in the 1870s as an attempt to combine the virtues of the armored ironclad warship and the fast and long-ranged, but unarmored, cruisers of the time. Such a ship was desirable to protect overseas trade and, especially for the French and British, to police their vast overseas empires. The concern within higher naval circles was that without ships that could fulfill these requirements and incorporate new technology, their fleet would become obsolete

They also found that climbers who grab their ropes above the tying knot might have their fingers amputated by the rope constricting around them. The authors also mention it is detrimental to grab pieces of protection as a climber falls because such piece could impale the climber's hand. While these injuries happen, the authors imply they did not happen often.

A key design feature for the IOTV is that the entire armor system is able to be released with the pull of a hidden lanyard. The armor then falls apart into its component pieces, providing a means for escape in case the wearer falls into water or becomes trapped in a hazardous environment. The hidden release lanyard also allows medical personnel easier access to a casualty, which was one concern that was not addressed with

With the rethinking of design, naval architects had to examine every system and function of a warship, and determine the functions and systems that were critical (and in what priority); how they were related to each other, and where they should or must be located within the hull and superstructure to ensure survival and mission accomplishment of the warship.

Unprotected cruiser


An unprotected cruiser was a type of naval warship in use during the late Victorian or pre-dreadnought era (about 1880 to 1905). The name was meant to distinguish these ships from “protected cruisers” which had become accepted in the 1880s. A protected cruiser did not have side armor on its hull like a battleship or “armored cruiser” but had only a curved armored deck built inside the ship – like an internal turtle shell – which prevented enemy fire penetrating through the ship down into the most critical areas such

Therefore, in order to prevent the shattered ceramic and projectile pieces from further damaging the protected system, ceramic materials should always be supported by a ductile backing with metallic or polymeric composite materials. Another advantage of using backing material is to improve the ballistic performance of ceramics by preventing its premature failure. Ceramic plates are commonly used as inserts in soft ballistic vests. Most ceramic plates used in body armor

drastic improvements in armor protection. Some means had to be found to integrate armor protection into the total design of the warship (at its inception), and to rationally apply armor protection, to achieve the most efficient use of the hull’s displacement to provide buoyancy to the deadweight of the ship’s armor. "All or nothing" was the design solution. The "all-or-nothing" philosophy of armor design required the complete rethinking of battleship design, armor systems, and the integration of the ship’s design
