Hey, yeah, that makes perfect sense. So what would you suggest we do when
someone with a helmet gets hit with a head shot? Would they only get the 2/1
armour, or would they more appropriately get 5/5 (or somehting about that)
armour, which is representative of the armour value of a helmet? With the
smartlink II out, a head shot with the victim having a helmet is very
deadly, mayhaps more deadly than it should be?
