interceptor is composed of IOTV, shoulder plate and dick protector

IOTV is the new armor of the US Army to replace the Interceptor. they both include the shoulder plate and groin protector the IOTV being lighter and having the PALS webbing


Nuuuuuu

OTV can mount dick protector and shoulder plate

IOTV is OTV with PALS

I think I'd prefer to beef up the armour a little bit, since the shield can only cover one facing at a time. Probably add a secondary layer to absorb impacts against the hard plates, or bulk up on the neck/throat guard...

Also, My imperial guard are fine how they are. (second picture by Wolohanistan)

Nope, they need arm cannons.

The vest is actually completely different from the Interceptor vest (OTV).

Arm cannons would be pretty sweet. Gonna have to add that to my Czar's guards. (Which will probably end up heavily armored and ostentatious, but still fairly effective. There aren't a whole lot of them , in any case.)

Subject: Phasing out old battle rifle, request to buying WMA Mk.1 Infantry Rifle.

While sitting in my office looking at weapon magazines I saw a rifle that made me interested, the WMA Mk.1 Infantry Rifle.
I would therefore request that Hraun may purchase one million and fifty thousand of them.

I'm planning on having a secret society of heretics that thinks that my first emperor was a god (despite the fact that he told everyone he wasn't, a 7-7'6" man who conquered an empire the size of western Europe and converted nearly all pagans on the island into Christians does make a compelling case for being called a god). They try to find the god emperor who they believe never died, but simply left the palace to lead them to conquer the world. I might give the emperor's guards who exist for when the emperor returns a full suit of armour, shields, swords, and arm guns. They probably have a top speed of 5 km/h and a range of about 100 meters, but they are guards, who cares.

My thought's exactly, sans the heretics. The Czar's guards don't need to move fast or far, they're mostly for display.

The purpose of a Life Guard, as the Russians said; or an Imperial Guard as the rest of the world said was to protect the Monarchy, not to 'look good'.

Thought you ought to know.

We have an actual force for protection. Those, however, are rarely actually seen. The Czar's guards are all nobles who have served in the regular military for at least 5 years, and their primary function is as a display of the Czar's power. That's not to say they're completely worthless, since their armor is lolheavy(modern full plate, designed to stop intermediate rifle rounds) and they do carry weapons (bastard swords, large even-more-bulletproof shields, and pistol-caliber wrist cannons[Taking specific caliber suggestions]).

Sounds like Ramsetia's Ordinators taken to the uber roid extreme.


Kinda inspired by them. (No roids, though. They're magically enhanced. FanT ftw.)

Those would be closer to the ones who actually do the protection work. The guards being discussed number barely in the double digits, and basically just stand around looking invincible so random-ass people won't bother trying to mess with the Czar. Also, like I said, FanT.

How the Lifeguard look is directly proportional to the effectiveness of the military as a whole.

If you Lifeguard cannot protect your leader while being aesthetically pleasing additions to the Palace, then you have failed.
