RE: Armour
I was reading a pdf of "The Poor Mans James Bond" by Kurt Saxon, and it touched on DIY armor. Apparently a German / Prussian guy made some armour by layering thick wool sheeting, stitching together into a very tight, dense slab, over a thin sheet of metal. It caused bullets to tumble and break up within the wool. He even invited the army to shoot him, as well as a horse. It worked very well, but I can't find anything else about it online.

There's another way, detailed on Philip Luty's website. It involves mixing silicone sealant with quartz sand into a paste, then working it into thick, industrial felt. You could use this to make vests, or to make thick rectangles to fit inside more conventional plate carriers
