1. Armour

   Armour (British English) or armor (American English; see spelling differences) is a covering used to protect an object, individual, or vehicle from physical injury or damage, especially direct contact weapons or projectiles during combat, or from a potentially dangerous environment or activity (e.g. cycling, construction sites, etc.). Personal armour is used to protect soldiers and war animals. Vehicle armour is used on warships, armoured fighting vehicles, and some mostly ground attack combat aircraft. A second use of the term armour describes armoured forces, armoured weapons, and their role in combat. After the development of armoured warfare, tanks and mechanised infantry and their combat formations came to be referred to collectively as "armour".

It can include shields, helmets, and full body suits, and is often made from materials such as metal, leather, or Kevlar, depending on the perceived threat. Historically, armour was used in warfare or combat situations but modern uses extend to personal safety in various situations including law enforcement and hazardous occupations.
