Ok, seems a bit silly to me since a bullet doesn't normally go through
both  helmet and flak jacket.  (If it does, I don't think you would have
much to worry about after that.)  But if that is what the rules say...

Still, it would have been a lot better if at least a whole page had been
dedicated to W.W.II era equipment listings.  Maybe something for a
future Epitaph?
