Armor, Armor And More Armor!! Everything You Need To Know About Armor!!!

Armor has been used as far back as the medieval ages, but what exactly is armor? Armor is much like a shield; it is used to protect the body from harm. However, the major difference between a shield and armor is that armor is a protective covering worn, not carried. Personal armor is used in direct combat and is worn by soldiers and war animals. Vehicle armor is used on fighting vehicles such as worships and tanks. Armor has been used throughout history and armor has been made with many different materials. Stick around and find out everything you want to know about armor in the fallowing paragraphs.

One of the very first materials used in armor was leather. Long ago, armor was a simper suit/clothing made with rudimentary leather, hides, bone, linen, laminated wood, bronze, rolled steel, Kevlar, Dyneema, or ceramics. However, as time went by the armor evolved into a full suit of plated armor. Through out history armor has influent the development of firearms used in warfare. How? The first plated armors inspired the construction of ironclad warships and battleships. Afterwards, engineers took this same idea and constructed the first World War One tanks and armor fighting vehicles. After the invention of tanks and fighting vehicles came the invention of aerial armor. In other words, during World War Two engineers designed armored aircrafts that could sustain heavy damaged from ground fire without plummeting to earth.

Today armor is used for individuals in combat. This means that the light infantry armor has been replaced by heavily armored infantry used by troops during war or conflict. Armored troops also use heavily armored fighting vehicles instead of battle cavalry, light cavalry and dragoons used by our ancestors. However, you are probably asking yourself why is armor so effective? The current armor used by police and military forces is extremely thick due to the steel used to make the armor. Therefore, in order to injured an individual using armor you need three times the energy normally required to defeat an individual with no armor.

In the past, only individuals of high ranking were heavily armored before going to battle, the lower standing individuals where send to the battle field with little or no armor. Today, regardless of ranking every individual in the army, police, military or any other type or warfare organization wares a complete armor that protects them and boosts their chances of survival. Although their have been many changes in the way armor is made and how or who wore them, one thing stills remain the same regardless of the passing years. What is it? Armor is still heavy, although perhaps not as heavy and uncomfortable as in the past. The armor is really a fascinating tool/weapon used through out history. After all, many individuals of different eras (like samurais, nights, ninjas, ect…) used the armor that, most often than not, made the difference between returning home or dying in the battle field.
