Whilst soft flexible body armour can defeat most handgun and sub-machine gun threats, the stopping of high velocity rifle rounds demands a ballistic plate. Almost obsolete steel plates have given way to ceramics and composite materials which are unlikely to cause secondary injury from fragments. Armour plates are placed in pockets in the soft armour carrier, normally to protect chest and back, however the customer may specify additional pockets for smaller side plates ... where the vest design permits this. For those vests which do not incorporate chest/back pockets a throw over plate carrying bib is available.  4, record 10, English, - ballistic%20plate

Cold weather has a different effect on other types of weapons. "Bursting munitions"--hand grenades, mortars, artillery shells--are very effective on dry ground because they can break up on rocks and create a lot of additional, shrapnel-like projectiles. They’re less effective in snow, which muffles the shrapnel effect.  3, record 11, English, - explosive%20ammunition
