== History & Background (Dossier) ==

Flak jacket tend to be originally developed in the [[TL:4-6]] epoch to protect against shrapnel. They quickly grow increasingly sophisticated, almost immune to lesser projectiles. By [[TL:7-9]], they can effectively block all but the larger rifle caliber rounds although with significant bruising or even broken bones from larger rounds. Bullets with greater penetration are created to defeat them. By [[TL:10-12]], a good flak jacket can spread out and diminish kinetic energy. They are mostly obsolete by [[TL:13-15]]. {{Unpublished cite|author=Maksim-Smelchak}}
