Carapacion Armor

Item name: Carapacion armor

Description: natural grown armor, it adds a little extra defense against bullets
It's a skin tight vest that covers the chest, stomach, hips and shoulders and part of the lower neck back and front.

Effect: Adds a little extra defense against bullets, making bullets not fatal but can still feel impact, this has no affect on blades or anything other then bullets. It works like a bullet proof vest would in any situation.

Note:The vests take damage from every shot. So after 3 or 4 shots from a pistol to one section, like the front chest, will crack it and make that part of the armor useless. 2 shots up close would break it. A shot gun up close will destroy what ever part it hits, and 2 or 3 blasts from farther then 10 foot will break it. A sniper rifle will crack it in 1 from any range. A rocket, so help the poor bugger who finds this out, will probably blow the armor off them and into little bits along with their shoes and the rest of them. :b

Number of it you have/possible/allowed: 1 it can be reused many times.

Character: Jirou Tsubaki
Also able to be apply'd for by espada

And what if the bullets are mildly explosive? Like the ones the Coalition uses (which is only two of them anyway)? Granted, they're not very explosive (Six inch AOE), but explosive none the less. Would that effect the armor some? Armor may protect you, but it does fail eventually, no matter what it is designed for, so something about that too.

I added it would work like any bullet proof vest, so essentially the pentration of the explosive bullet would be nulled, and yea it will fail from time to time just like a regular bullet proof vest and the explosion would still be effective a vest can't stop that lol saying that tho remember the vest is covering most of the body burn result and explosive will still be less effective tho.

But how much will they take before failing? The Coalition's guns do a set amount of damage, no matter who is using them. So I kind of need an approximate failing limit.

Sorry for interjecting jun, but kairu is working on theses things at my behest. The Armor is designed to grant added protection against bullets, especially for arrancar who's hierro is not up to scratch. So, it would stop weaker shots from pistols, and shot guns fired from more than 10 feet. It'll slow down the sniper rifle shots but they'll still go through it.

Thank you. That was what I was looking for. However, the sniper rifle actually doesn't fire bullets if you read the description. Though it is still has a high penetration value. Just thought I'd point that one out. Approved.
