Trivia

• Often referred to as "Fort" or "Defender" by players
• The GOST-R 50744-95 6A protection class is actually rated to stop 7.62×54mmR AP rounds fired from a Dragunov sniper rifle, surpassing even NIJ level IV, which is rated to stop a single .30-06 M2 AP round. The in-game description erroneously says that the Russian class 6A is the equivalent of NIJ level IIIA while it actually is far more protective than that. It should be noted that the armor does contain armor plates, as can be seen if one looks closely at the front, where the outline shows.
  • Indeed, the armor is intended to sustain three armor piercing tungsten projectiles from a Dragunov without doing much more that push the wearer back. it should be noted that GOST standards for personal armor are very strict, compared to relatively lax NIJ standards.
  • Comparatively, GOST 2 requires armor piercing handguns that have been known to defeat Level IIIA protection to be defeated at 5.10m, such as the 7.62x25mm Tokarev and the 5.45x18mm PSM. GOST 2A requires a 12 gauge shotgun slug to be fired into it, again with minimal inconvenience to the wearer. All rounds of ammunition must be withstood 5 times.
