Developed in the United States during the First World War, it consisted of chrome nickel steel body plates combined with a heavy helmet designed to resist shrapnel and small-arms fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe armour weighed around 18 kilograms, which made movement difficult for soldiers in combat conditions. Because of this, it saw very limited practical use and was never widely adopted. Its unusual appearance and early attempt at ballistic protection make it an important piece of military development history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild using paint and glue.
