Armor, a defense module, friendly weapons behind armor can shoot over it. The larger the armor block, the more health per cell.
Reflect (50-60%) seems to be the amount of laser fire that is mitigated. This makes all laser fire do less damage to armor.
Armour (2-6) seems to also do a percentage of damage reduction, not sure how much. (I guess that it's 20%-60%, but note Ballistic Armor is armor rating 11.)
It is not a flat damage reduction, since the basic 4 damage gun can damage armor blocks with armor rating 4-6.
Missiles appear the most effective against armor with high individual damage, no reflect and blast radius which is why point defense offers a 60% protection
