This piece is #4 of 9 for bullet protection. The share of damage each piece stops on your chest, worn alone. Skins are left out.
Methodology
Tested on the current version of Rust.
Protection was tested in game on the current version of Rust, with only the piece worn. Every body part a piece covers stops the same share.
Two pieces clash when they take the same slot in the same layer.
Pieces that take the same body parts in the same layer are ranked together, on the hit area named above. The best figure in each column is bold.
