Gejigradian body armor is composed of titanium-encased boron carbide plates, the thickest portions being on the helmet and torso carapace, and the lightest on the arms. There are small "sweet spots" on the joints, that if hit at just the right angle, will be penetrated. Gejigrad has adopted an underarmor of spidersilk, thickened at these points, to compensate for this weakness. The helmet has a 135-degree Lexan plastic faceplate, equipped with a holographic heads-up-display, displaying the wearer's vitals, a view from the rifle camera, and a small radar (penetration up to thirty meters in low-conductivity materials [dry sand, granite, concrete] or less than one meter in high-conductivity materials [clay, shale] and range of roughly one hundred fifty meters) and threat-designator screen.

Body Armor

Gejigradian body armor is composed of titanium-encased boron carbide plates, the thickest portions being on the helmet and torso carapace, and the lightest on the arms. There are small "sweet spots" on the joints, that if hit at just the right angle, will be penetrated. Gejigrad has adopted an underarmor of spidersilk, thickened at these points, to compensate for this weakness. The helmet has a 135-degree Lexan plastic faceplate, equipped with a holographic heads-up-display, displaying the wearer's vitals, a view from the rifle camera, a small radar (up to thirty meters penetration in low-conductivity materials) and threat-designator screen.
