Rust armor stats - Exactly how much damage it reduces and protects you

[soviet007]

I made a video on this so please check that out if possible.

To summarize the video for those of you who cant watch it, each point that armor gives you is equal to .533% of protection from that category. So if a cloth helmet gives you 10 points of bullet protection then that equals to 5.33% reduction in bullet damage. I worked out all the stats of the full armor sets and their damage reduction in the video so please check that out. Hope this helped.

I used the wiki to get information on it and then calculated all the other values. There's nothing wrong with that.

Is there a headshot bonus on animals and zombies? I shoot animals in the head but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Not sure about animals, but zombies yes. It makes a distinctive squishy sound when you get a headshot, and their head explodes.
