just as if you have a half limb you get half of the armor value as a full limb.
I noticed that in the recent errata.
I had a look through SR4A and can't find any evidence that this is the case.
It doesn't make any sense either. It uses the same amount of capacity regardless.
If you stick 1 point of armour on a lower arm it takes up 2 capacity.
If you put 2 points of armour on a full arm it takes up 4 capacity, presumably 2 capacity on the top half and 2 on the lower half.
The amount of armour that you could put on a partial limb was already naturally restricted by the reduced capacity of that limb.
It's all pretty abstract anyway. Armour on your lower legs would normally be useless. Armour on your lower arms would be magnified in usefulness. You injure your hands and forearms all the time because they are what you instinctively use to protect the more vulnerable parts of your body. What do coroners call them? Something wounds, I forget.
