ABSTRACT:
An armor plate assembly comprising a plurality of U-shaped or J-shaped redirecting members for intercepting and guidingly redirecting incoming small arms fire. The preferred embodiment comprises a closely packed, rigidly held array of tubular members, each tubular member having an intercepting opening and an exit opening directed away from the object to be protected. Three- or four-sided tensoidal deflectors are disposed adjacent the intercepting openings to protectively cover the interstitial gaps left between the closely spaced tubes and to further guide incoming fire into the redirecting members.
