I checked the pedia article on ceramic armor, and it says the armor shatters to dissipate the force of getting hit, which I guess is okay for just that one hit, but doesn‘t that mean that after that you‘re armor‘s broken and can‘t protect you anymore? Doesn‘t really make sense to me, although I might be misinterpreting the explanation, which just puts me right back where I started.
17 degrees 2 iron 20 degrees 3 iron 23 degrees 4 iron 26 degrees 5 iron 29 degrees 6 iron I would recommend changing 3, 4 irons. no need to change the 2 iron(even if you carry any) but I personally think you can change 36 irons if you are a high handicapped person
Getting hit in exactly the same place is less likely. At least it can buy you time to DUCK. [EDIT: Drop a Corningware white bowl from a reasonable height, onto linoleum floor. A regular ceramic or glass bowl will crack, if not shatter. A metal bowl will dent. The Corningware will darken your shorts (because you are sure there will be a mess to clean up), but come up intact and whole. There are ceramics, and there are ceramics. Absorbing energy by spallation, does not always / require failed shielding to further mechanical insult. And if it is light, you can also RUN AWAY, and not sweat to death wearing it! Which means it might be in place when you DO get shot. How many soldiers died by head shots, right *after* they took their helmets off because they were too hot? ]
