Military weapons.. but no body armor?

[broguenz 333]

Strikes me as weird I can have a military weapon but I can't find a helmet or a bullet proof vest.

Not that I really want either, but one without the other doesn't make sense to me..

:huh:

Just thinking out loud..

Takes four 5.56 rifles rounds in the chest to kill a player, I think we are already wearing body armor.

Is it 1 headshot for a kill with any weapon? (I have a 1911 and M4A1 )

I've been thinking about this as well. Hopefully in ARMA III there will be a better inventory system that will allow for clothing items and other accessories (there is the ghillie suit, but I don't know how those are handled). Having some protection against most headshots would help a lot.

An item that would effect damage amounts would probably have something to do with hit boxes; if rocket can mess with those, I don't see why not.

The head I always 1 shot any weapon, so I guess the argument could be made for helmets.

I think I heard something about full customisation of characters in Arma 3 as well. Or I may have been thinking of something else.

BTW 9 shots to the chest with 9mm to kill a player, we are def wearing body armor.
