In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, you can buy Kevlar and Helmet gear for $1000. This gear will protect you from enemy attacks. When you equip it, the number "100" appears next to your health: This is obviously an indicator of the integrity of your armor.
Over time, as you are hit by enemies, your gear will "wear out." The number (that indicates gear integrity) will be reduced every time you are hit, along with your health.
How does armor protect you? If my armor's integrity value is, say, 6, will it protect me just as much as armor with an integrity value of 100?
Or does the integrity value of the armor change how much the armor protects you?

Kevlar + Helmet:
The way it works (explained using an example):
Fixed damage reduction percentages for each gun can be found here.
My example gun damage was obtained from this spreadsheet.
An alternative I found is here. The numbers are slightly different from one another, however I do not know which is the more recent and I am unable to check myself at the moment.
Finally, I found a nice topic on the steam forums. It helped me with a few things I was unsure of. Take a read here.
Hope that helps.
