Equestrian Cavalry armor design

['NamBrony 22]

So. This is the design of the Equestrian Cavalry's armor. First off, the cav. The Cavalry is basically Equestria's main infantry force for combatting foreign threats. Their specialty is attacking from the air, and quickly moving to secure objectives. They are much like the 1st air cav early in the Vietnam war, but rather than helicopters, they ride in chariots pulled by pegasi.

 

Their armor is protective, but allows them to move freely, as opposed to a full suit of armor. The shoulder pieces are marked with the symbol of Celestia's cutie mark, the sun. In addition to the armor, The soldiers wear leggings over their shoes, on all four legs. The tail is uncovered, as is the flank, allowing for more freedom of movement.

 

Their weapon is a magical energy rifle. When the Changelings attacked Canterlot, a weapons designer witnessed Pinkie Pie using Twilight Sparkle as a weapon. He then set out to design a weapon usable by Earth ponies, and pegasi as well as Unicorns. This weapon was powered by a magical crystal, and the energy was converted to bolts of lethal or nonlethal energy. Other crystals are housed in a detachable 'magazine' and types of magic can be swapped simply by changing the mag. Some types may light enemies on fire, while some types might stun, or paralize them.

 

So... Eeyup...

As you can see, mares are allowed to serve as well, unlike the Royal Guard.

Well, I relatively like it. I hate the way you mane and tail the same color as that suit tho, it makes it looks a bit ugly. I suggest you make the mane and tail some other color then the rest or one of the not as used colors. Or at least a different shade of that color.
