The assault model of the full-spectrum heavy body armor series "Samurai" by Helka sacrifices lower body protection for increased mobility. Provides enhanced shoulder protection.
IMTV "Samurai" is a heavy body armor class 5, designed for an aggressive play style. Unlike most heavy models, it protects the shoulders, but does not cover the lower abdomen. This allows for a slight reduction in weight, but the penalties to ergonomics remain very high. This body armor is suitable for players who prioritize upper torso protection in dynamic firefights.
Only if you really need shoulder protection. In most situations, there are more advantageous class 5 body armors.
?How does it differ from the M4 "Defender" Heavy Armor?
The IMTV "Samurai" is lighter (10 kg vs. 11.8 kg) and additionally protects the shoulders, but in return loses lower abdomen protection and reduces ergonomics more (-7 vs. -5). It is also more expensive, so it cannot be considered a universal choice.
?Which to choose: IMTV "Samurai" or Composite Armor 926?
In most cases, Composite Armor 926 seems preferable. It is cheaper, has more comfortable characteristics, and has long been considered the most popular T5 body armor. The IMTV "Samurai" should only be considered if shoulder protection is critically important to you.
