Basically each Armour type had a certain amount of Damage Points, and each time the character was hit, whether for 1 point of damage or 50, the Armour took 1 Damage Point and once it reached 0 it fell apart and was destroyed forever (of course you could repair it before it got to 0). Hope that helps a little.

His question was about damaging armour, and I told him of a system where that's possible. Let's help the guy out.
