A combat-armor is a wearable apparel used to protect its wearer from impacts, such as bullets or bludgeoning force. A combat-armor generally is sold/distributed with an accompaining helmet as part of a complete kit, and thus the combat-armor refer to the combat-vest and combat-helmet, as well as any other itens that may come included in a kit, such as gauntlets or combat-boots.
The army issued PASGT vest (now outdated) is a form of combat armor consisting of the vest, boots, helmet (separately classified as simply the PASGT helmet). PASGT stands for Personal armor system for ground troops.

An arcade-style mecha fighting game where you pit custom buitl robots against opponents for the PS series of consoles.
Great game spanning soon to be all 4 of Sony's PlayStation consoles. Although initially it would appear none of the American versions had online, you could tunnel into Master of Arena and Nexus to get online. In my opinion the best game series for the Playstation line of consoles.
It had several infamous villans, including (but not limited to) Nineball, Stinger, and Leos Klein.
If you can find it, get it. It's hard at first, but the more you play, the more fun it gets.

"Target verified! Commencing hostilities!"-Nineball, "ultimate" variant
"What the... i'm losing!? impossible! I'm burning! Phantasma. I'm dieing!" -Stinger
"We all make mistakes, don't you think, Raven? We humans need strict supervison; we cannot live on our own. A state devoted solely to ravens... I'm a realist, not some fool! All that I've wanted to do was to revive the ways of old... Die rebel!" -Leos Klein

A communities embodying “dynamic decentralized resilience” providing for their own security, their own power generation, possibly even their own food, by forming local cooperative collectives. Armored Suburbs will deploy and maintain backup generators and communications links; they will be patrolled by civilian police auxiliaries that have received corporate training and boost their own state-of-the-art emergency response systems. The need for Armored Suburbs will become increasingly apparent as the nation state extracts increasing levels of resources while failing to provide basic security, a stable currency, and other essential public goods. The death of the nation state will lead to anarchic responses by many, but will also lead to networked, self-sufficient, local communities that will step into the breach abandoned by the bankrupt nation state. The rise of Armored Suburbs will preserve the Western heritage of political and economic freedom in response to these upcoming challenges.
A related concept is the "resilient community".
The concept of the Armored Suburb is derived from the writing of John Robb, William Lind, and indirectly to Martin van Creveld.

"When the United States became a failed state in the mid-21st century, most of the population died off, but some survived and prospered in Armored Suburbs."

Character shields (also known as plot armor or plot shield) are plot devices in films and television shows that prevent important characters from dying or being seriously injured at dramatically inconvenient moments. It often denotes a situation in which it strains credibility to believe that the character would survive.
"The art is nice, but the concept is obviously pretty stupid. Hell, just the fact that they're using the most broken character with plot armor as thick as fangirls' raging hardons for him, from Naruto, against someone who was shown to only be a mediocre bender at the beginning of the series (the form of Zuko used here) should tell you something."

The first downloadable content available for the Xbox 360 game Oblivion. Upon its release, there was an uproar in the gaming community due to its nearly useless feature set and and relatively high price tag ($2.50 US). Since then, the term horse armor has been used to describe video game features that are useless or overpriced.
Can you believe they're charging $10 extra for the horse armor in Madden 07: Hall of Fame Edition?
It seems like every year video game developers expect us pay $50 for a sequel and all they've added is some horse armor.
