Metal armor

Metal armor is a type of armor that is used in the entire Fallout series of games.
__TOC__
==Characteristics==
It is simply any kind of armor manufactured from metal scrap and ancient relics.
While power armor is technically also made mostly of metal, it is more advanced in its characteristics and as such, is not counted as "metal armor".
==Variants==
===Metal armor===
Baseline metal armor, found in different styles throughout the series.
===Coarse metal armor===
A basic suit of metal armor made of crudely polished metal plates.
===Coarse metal armor Mk II===
An improvement over the previous one. Polished metal plates, finely crafted into a suit of armor.
===Black metal armor===
A craft metal armor created from a variety of scrap pieces put on a black leather armor. The helmet looks like a white closedfaced, armor-plated motorcycle helmet.
===Gamma shield armor===
This heavy armor shields against Gamma Radiation through the use of a lead lining. It has the same appearance as the black metal armor.

A black metal armor changed for long trips, the lightweight metal armor has the advantage of improved weight and higher resistance while providing the same level of protection.
