Ballistic Armour: Do the Armour Ratings in GunMaster Gold correspond with NIJ Threat Levels?
Generally, yes, but not perfectly. Comparing against NIJ Standard 0101.03 (1987) developed by the National Institute of Justice in the USA, Threat Level I armour is equal to GMG’s Type I armour, Threat Level III-A armour is equal to Type II armour and Threat Level III armour is equal to Type III+ armour. This means that GunMaster Gold’s Type II+ and III armour ratings lie somewhere between NIJ Threat Levels III-A and III.
