Question Mandalorian armor questions?

If you guys couldn't mind could ya answer a few questions I had

1. How strong is Mandalorian armor. Like can itt ake blaster bolts, resist explosions? How much offnse/force can it stand.

2. Is Boba Fett's armor equal to the armor of Clone Troopers? Is equal to the armor of ARC's?

3.(this is a harder one) Does anyone like know the features of Clone Trooper or ARC armor?

4. Whats the diffrence between ARC armor and Clone Trooper armor.

Thanks alot to whoever answers these questions or attempts to. smile

1) "Modern" or PT/OT Period Mandalorian Combat Body Armour could usually stop blaster bolts, (perhaps even blaster rifle shots), though it all depended on the integrity of the individual armour piece in-question. Also, the older a Combat Suit, the worst it would protect someone....(Does that even make sense? confused )

2) Boba Fett's Armour is very much higher quality than that of the ARC Trooper Armour, and even more so than the normal Clone Armour. Clone Trooper Armour Suits were even named "Body-Buckets" by the Clones during the CLONE WARS, (they were pretty much a higher-quality form of Stormtrooper Armour Suits).

3) & 4) Features?
ARC Armour:
-Pauldron with coloured Kama, (Red for Captain; Blue and Grey for Sergeant; Yellow for Lieutenant)
-Enhanced Macro-binocular viewplate, (like Boba and Jango Fett's)
-Antenna-thingy, (stick out tongue, like Boba and Jango's)
-Etc.
Normal Clone Armour was pretty much identical, minus the above. Also, ARC Trooper/Clone Commander Armour Suits were usually of higher-quality than the regular Clone Suits.

thanks but ARC armour looked like alot more padded & thick and stuff in pics then clone trooper. Boba fett/ jango fett armor looks moderatley thin or not as thick so how is it just as strong.
Ya got anymore detail or how much they can resist?
thanks

Yes. That's were the got the inspiration for the Mand. armour in KotOR....wink

Stealth Agent> Clone Armour in general was more or less just for show, but, like I said, ARC Armour was more durable and strong.
Mandalorian Armour, (even though it looked "thin"), was definitely stronger than Clone Armour. By a long shot.

I still don’t get how strong is it. Like if someone shot ARC armor three times with a blaster rifle would it withstand it?

Must have had budget cutbacks when they designed the Stormtrooper armour because all it seems to do is conceal the trooper's appearance. It can't even turn aside a simple blaster shot. The Clone Trooper armour appears quite a bit better

A bit, but the Clones themselves referred to their armour as "Body-Bucket(s)".
