armourer
Forges protective gear
An armourer is a person who makes, repairs, or maintains armour and weapons.
In historical contexts, armourers crafted suits of armour and bladed weapons for knights and soldiers.
In modern military use, an armourer maintains firearms and other weaponry: The battalion armourer inspected each rifle before the exercise.
