Armour

[Highlander]

The only armour I ever wore was in Northern Ireland,... we were trying out a new idea for men on the gates/checkpoints, who were out in the open and sitting ducks.

All it consisted of was a material Jacket with two 3/4 inch steel plates inserted front and back, they were quite heavy, but light enough for us to do our job in,.. walking, bending down, searching vehicles etc were all easily done, but they might prove too heavy if you were to run any distance.

They worked though, one guy was hit with a bullet, which made him stagger, but no problem for the steel plate
