M52B Body Armour

The M52B Body Armour is the latest personal armour system in use by the United Nations Space Command Defence Force, first adopted in 2552 to replace the ageing disliked M27A Body Armour, which in turn replaced the M51A Ballistic Assault Vest. It is designed with combating the Covenant in mind, incorporating MITHRIL Small Arms Protective Inserts. It is usually worn with the CH252 Helmet for greater ballistic and plasma protection.
