Despite being much more advanced, the [[recon armor]] provides worse Sharp armor than a flak vest ''alone'', only faring slightly better against Blunt. Recon does cover the arms and legs, and has no movement penalty. But, overall, the flak vest with any sort of outerwear is better for raw protection - deaths from limb damage (specifically, from [[blood loss]] or lowered [[consciousness]]) are considerably rarer than torso shots. | Despite being much more advanced, the [[recon armor]] provides worse Sharp armor than a flak vest ''alone'', only faring slightly better against Blunt.
