Except that once you get down to d4's, you start subtracting # of dice 
instead of die types. So it takes level 4 armor to be immune to 
pistols.  (3d6 - 3d4 - 2d4 - 1d4 - zilch).

One good house rule for overused armor would be to apply a reliability roll 
to it.  Starting at a reliability of 20, for each full wound done through 
the armor, drop the reliability by one.
