Flak Armor is the most common form of armor employed by the Imperium of Man and especially the Imperial Guard. Cheap and easy to make and manufacture by the average Imperial world, it is composed of multiple layers of ablative material, shock resistant material and ballistic textiles. Fairly similar to modern body armor in regards of rough construction. It is resistant to shrapnel and stab attacks done by human combatants armed with regular knife while offering pretty good protection against bullets from combustion guns and glancing hits from directed energy weapons comparable in power to a Lasgun. When dealing with a local rebellion or facing pirates, bandits or the rag tag forces of the lost and the damned, a suit of flak armor is an Emperorsend and often means the difference between survival and a gruesome death. That said, when it comes to protecting it's user from guns which shoot 20mm rocket bullets, hyper-sonic monomolecular ninja stars, bolts of compressed plasma as hot as a star's core and similar, they are of little more use than a common T-shirt.
