Gun Armour with me, the idiot Back

The new guns just recently releases have much greater firepower than their older counterparts, I see a greater need for the reintroduction of gun related armour, one such being the bullet proof vest.

For all those who don't know, the old bullet proof vest offered 80% bullet damage resistance. The tradeoff was having the wear a leather chest plate to receive the bonus, making you incredibly weak at short range.

Sadly the vest is incompatible with the new guns (as far as i know)

I wish to see the addition of 2 new armour pieces, both being pieces of chain/iron armour, rather then leather for the durability and protection increase

1) The new bullet proof vest: same 80% bullet damage reduction offer as before

2) The bullet proof helmet: Offers immunity to the "headshot" offered by guns - might trade the absorbed crit for some form of debuff (im unsure)

Both items should of a medium cost through slimefun, making use of steel plates as the primary ingredient.

Reasons why I believe this should be reintroduced: players have already demonstrated their ability to change armour on the run, as seen with swift leggings.
This would also help combat the effectiveness of guns vs defenders/attackers when they emerge from their base in sieges

No. Pvpers would just use this to ignore gun dmg, then quickly switch armor and use the sword, thus making guns useless again. This is a terrible suggestion. Guns were just buffed and made actually useful, and now you want to make them a secondary weapon again? No thanks. I didn't spend weeks testing with zaify just so you could add some bullet proof vest and make it all useless again.

Bulletproof should be a thing but not 80% rather weaker like 40%-50%

In reality ur armour can absorb a hit but ur organs inside u dont like it

i agree with the % reduction.
50% instead?
(most rifles would still deal a solid 1.5 hearts)

I would be up to an reintroduction of the Bullet Proof Vest as well as introduction of the Helmet variant IF:
- Gun Disabled was not a thing (if it still is)
- Either Bulletproof Vest and the Bulletproof Helmet were unenchantable iron armor parts which reduced the gun damage by 50-70%, being that the Vest would only reduce the bodyshots and the Helmet the headshots (both the standard damage and the headshot bonus).
- Their recipe would be changed to include an good ammount of reinforced cloth and reinforced alloy ingot for the realism as well as the expense associated.
- They had a small but significant cooldown for both removing and putting it on.

bad suggestion when people have the ability to switch between diamond and bulletproof chestplates in fractions of a second
