Class IV
   Often called "turtle shell" armor, Class IV body armor covers entire portions of a person with rigid ceramic pieces. Joints and areas that require a flexible section are covered with ceramic-embedded ballistic mesh. The entire surface is etched with conductive fibers to ground out electrical attacks. These advanced ceramics are incredibly hard, almost like diamond, but are also extremely resistant to shattering and chipping. Class IV body armor can absorb the damage from 7.62mm rifle rounds.
