May a minion may use a Kevlar Vest to prevent gun damage from separate
strikes? For example, if an opposing minion uses an additional strike
and strikes twice with a Saturday Night Special, can Vest prevent the
two separate "packets" of damage?

Kevlar Vest [KoT:U]
Cardtype: Equipment
Cost: 1 pool
Bearer may prevent 2 damage from gun strikes or 1 damage from any
other source each combat. A minion may have only one Kevlar Vest.

Yes.

Contrast "strike".

Well, to be fair, I believe this is the only form of damage prevention
with a natural number (i.e. less than "all") which deals with multiple
strikes so it's worth a clarification. :P

Armor of Caine's Fury
Type: Combat
Requires: Valeren/Presence

1 damage from the opposing minion's strikes each round. Frenzy cards

cards that have already been played on this vampire this combat.

It also applies to Armor of Caine's Fury.

Uh? Does it mean that if instead of a Saturday Night Special, it was
a .44 Magnum (2R damage each strike), the Kevlar would prevent 2
damage from *each* strike?

No.

After the first .44 strike, the Kevlar vest has hit its limit of "2
damage from gun strikes each combat", and can't prevent any more.

(Just as cards like Apparition prevent 2 damage each combat, not '2
damage from each strike' each combat.)

The key is that the 2 damage a Kevlar Vest prevents does not have to
come from a single strike (but it cannot prevent more than 2 points
total over the course of a combat.)
