Looks like a very thorough article. I didn't have time to read it today as I'm currently late to take a shower but I'll definitely get to it later. Thanks for posting that. |

a fun read. I have always wondered if the increased protection of the fully armored suit is offset by the inability to take cover behind any available cover. Let alone the weight that may prevent you come searching a building that is in bad shape. It is better to hide then to take the bullet?

I always thought The History of the Warbots would make a good game : it was in galaxy magazine way back in 1968 :

As Louie's post shows, Infantrymen spend a lot of time trying to avoid flying objects !  Today many militaries have some pretty good body armor. But we're a little ways away from Ironman or Space Marine, etc., armor … for now … anyway …  |

A follow up question What story is this suit from.
Thanks |

That's an AFS from the Machinen Krieger universe, by Kow Yokoyama. |

Always liked those MaK suits … but may be a little harder to hide !  |

Brigade, BTW, makes a good 6mm "proxy" version of MaK, IMO … link |

Ah. the MaK suits – the perfect depiction of the Starship Troopers suit, "Looking like a Gorilla with hydrocephaly" :) |
