Seen some under cloth air pocket stuff that could help displace any shock from the armor being hit.
Sort of like "run flat" but modular for under armor or like for motorcycle riders.

A consideration is that these loads are static, whereas a powered armour suit and trooper are not - they're running, leaping, and stamping about. It wouldn't surprise me if 500 lbs of trooper and gear means taking care not to break structural walls in high-rises, and not jumping in wooden housing unless you want to risk ending up in the cellar (or more likely, stuck halfway through the floor). _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
