Armor Values?

Recommended Posts

I've been camping NW Airfield for a while now (Shame on me, dirty little KoS camper) and I've started to notice a trend in killing people. Many times shooting people in the back would kill them, other times it wouldn't. Sometimes it would knock them out, sometimes it wouldn't. Those who were knocked out and still talked, I asked if they were damaged. The mosin seems to not one shot anyone with 100% full life, but anyone whos been injuries a moderate amount seems to die in one shot. However, I also noticed some chest shots with people who were hurt wouldn't die in one shot, and those that didn't had a tactical vest on. Those who did had nothing, a chest holster, or an assault vest. 

 

What I'm asking here, is are there currently any ways to see what clothes give you protection from bullets, zombies, axes and such? I know for a fact I have blocked zombie attacks and I seem to live longer after an attack when I have a ballistic helmet, gas mask, and a tactical vest.

This would be good to run a series of tests on. Test out each piece of clothing using melee weapons and different calibers from different ranges. Collect some data and get back to us.

At various ranges bullet damage drops off.

 

I've one shot full health people with a Mosin at ~200m and hit someone else at ~800 and only hurt them/KO'd
