Specifically, the vest covers the neck, torso, and the internal organs (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys), which are immediately fatal to lose / lose both of. The only vital organs a vest does ''not'' cover are the head and brain, which headgear serves to protect. They also cover the shoulders, protecting [[Artificial body parts#Arms|artificial arms]] entirely. |

Recon does cover the arms and legs, and has no movement penalty. But, overall, the flak vest is better for raw protection - deaths from limb damage (specifically, from [[blood loss]] or lowered [[consciousness]]) are considerably rarer than torso shots. |
