<p>Added category</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>See [[Marshal&#039;s handbook]]<br /> [[Category:MK Marshal&#039;s Handbook]]<br /> <br /> ===Armor Materials===<br /> *Aventail: flexible curtain of chainmail on a helmet, extending to cover the neck and shoulders.<br /> <br /> *Bars: Used in the visor or faceplate of helms, bars shall be mild steel a minimum of 3/16 inch (4.5mm) in diameter, or the equivalent. If the distance between crossbars is 2 inches (50.8 mm) or less, .125 (that is, 1/8) inch (3.2 mm) bars may be used.<br /> <br /> *Camail: flexible curtain of mail or leather on a helm, extending to cover the neck (also aventail).<br /> <br /> *Closed-cell foam: stiff foam with closed cells, less dense than resilient foam (e.g., Ensolite).<br /> <br /> *Equivalent: virtually identical to the specified material in effect or function, including impact resistance, impact distribution, and impact absorption characteristics, but not necessarily in physical dimensions.<br /> <br /> *Foam: any open- or closed-cell foam, including foam rubber, foam neoprene, polyurethane, etc.<br /> <br /> *Gauge: U.S. sheet metal standard. Note that 16-gauge is officially 1/16 inch (.0625 inch or about 1.6 mm), but commercially available sheet is frequently rolled to .058 or even .055 inch—much too thin for helms.<br /> <br /> *Gauntlet: An armored glove covering the back of the hand, fingers, and thumb and the points and back of the wrist.<br /> <br /> *Gorget: a piece of armor designed to cover the throat and neck.<br /> <br /> *Heavy leather: stiff, oak-tanned leather nominally 11/64 inch (.171875 inch or 4.4 mm) thick. This is referred to as 11 ounce leather.<br /> <br /> *Mail: any fabric of small metal components either linked together (e.g., chain) or attached to a flexible backing (e.g., ring or scale).<br /> <br /> *Padding: quilted or multi-layered cloth material, such as mattress pads, moving pads, carpet, felt, or equivalent <br /> <br /> *Partial gauntlet (also called a half-gauntlet or demi-gauntlet): An armored glove covering the back of the hand and at least the first knuckle of the thumb, as well as the points and back of the wrist.<br /> <br /> *Plate: large components of rigid material.<br /> <br /> *Resilient foam: dense, plastic, closed-cell foam such as ethyl polymer.<br /> <br /> *Rigid material:<br /> ::1. Steel of no less than 18 gauge, or aluminum of no less than 0.075 inch (1.9mm)<br /> ::2. Other metals of sufficient thickness to give similar rigidity to those listed above to include treated steel or aluminum<br /> ::3. High-impact-resistant plastics such as ABS or polyethylene of sufficient thickness to give similar rigidity to those listed above<br /> ::4. Heavy leather (as defined above) that has been hardened in hot wax, soaked in polyester resin (properly catalyzed), or treated in such a manner as to permanently harden the leather<br /> ::5. Two layers of untreated heavy leather (as defined above)<br /> ::6. Other materials equivalent to those items listed above (Any armor of unusual construction or materials must meet the approval of the kingdom or Principality Earl Marshal or their designated deputy.)<br /> <br /> *Steel: cold- or hot-rolled mild steel or equivalent ferrous material</div>
