I honestly don't really want it to be called "Crap" armor, it's just that besides "Paper" I don't have any good ideas. That, and I made a semi-bad joke, which is always a good thing.
In English, capitals are used on the first letter of the first word of every sentence, proper nouns, or provide emphasis. Bonus points if you can count the prepositional phrases, as well as point out what is missing in this sentence.
