During World War I, the United States developed several types of body armor, including the chrome nickel steel Brewster Body Shield, which consisted of a breastplate and a headpiece and could withstand .303 British bullets at 2,700 ft/s (820 m/s), but was clumsy and heavy at 40 lb (18 kg). A scaled waistcoat of overlapping steel scales fixed to a leather lining was also designed; this armor weighed 11 lb (5.0 kg), fit close to the body, and was considered more comfortable.
Looks like a korok
Ya-ha-ha! You found me!
*stabs you in the face with a bayonet
French and German had this kind of armor too, but fun facts : soldiers often refused to use them, because of how uncomfortable and unwieldy they were. They were used by trench sentinels.
I guess they’d rather be dead than uncomfortable.

What if tank, but man.

Like a big sign that shouts “Don’t waste your ammo, toss a grenade at me!”

Damn those 303 bullets are no joke.
Compare to a scene from the movie Many Wars Ago.
Ricochet to femoral artery vibes.
