Weapons:

 * Q: Body armor/Vehicle armor? | A: Basic system in the game right now, very transparent to people, access to stats. There will not be body armor like kevlar, more like leather. There will be damage and bleed and bleed rate, the coefficient on armor that reduces these damages dependant on the caliber of bullet. Piece of armor placed over heart being shot by 9mm might shock you but compare to a larger caliber it could tear right through the armor. Armor being shot that prevents damage will still add to graphical effects or stun/shock effects. Blood splats can differ depending on armor hit and caliber bullet used.
