Properly, ''armor'' plural is still ''armor'' because it is normally an uncountable noun. When discussing individual pieces of armor, ''armor'' should not have an ''-s'' ending. The exception is when ''armor'' refers to ''type'' of armor, such as helmet vs. greaves, in which case ''armor'' is a countable noun and needs an ''-s'' to be pluralized. A category at "Types of armors" is not correct. It should be either "armors" or "types of armor", and this category in itself should be "armor" not "armors". This will take so much work correcting.

A little correction, ''armor'' can be treated as a countable noun when discussing collections of armor or sets of armor, therefore ''armors'' as well. However, when discussing individual pieces of sets of armor, it should be an uncountable noun.

Armor vs. armors
Properly, armor plural is still armor because it is normally an uncountable noun. When discussing individual pieces of armor, armor should not have an -s ending. The exception is when armor refers to type of armor, such as helmet vs. greaves, in which case armor is a countable noun and needs an -s to be pluralized. A category at "Types of armors" is not correct. It should be either "armors" or "types of armor", and this category in itself should be "armor" not "armors". This will take so much work correcting.
