          RE:  REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3 OF ARMOR HOLDINGS, INC.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as special counsel to Armor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) in
connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-3,
Registration File No. 333-113834 (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), filed on behalf of
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"). You have provided us with a draft prospectus (the
"Prospectus") which is a part of the Registration Statement. The Prospectus
provides that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more supplements
to the Prospectus (each, a "Prospectus Supplement"). The Registration Statement
relates to the Company's offering of up to an aggregate of $500,000,000 of (i)
one or more series of debt securities (the "Debt Securities"), which may be
guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by the Company's subsidiaries set forth on Exhibit
A attached hereto (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"), (ii) shares of common stock of
the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), (iii) shares of
preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred
Stock"), (iv) warrants to purchase Debt Securities, Common Stock, or Preferred
Stock (the "Warrants"), or any combination of the foregoing (collectively, the
"Securities"), and to the offering by the selling stockholders named therein
of up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Any series of Debt Securities and
Warrants may be convertible and/or exchangeable for Common Stock, Preferred
Stock, or another series of Debt Securities. Any series of Preferred Stock may
be convertible and/or exchangeable for Common Stock or another series of
Preferred Stock. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Prospectus.

         The Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture between the
Company and a trustee (the "Trustee"), and one or more supplements thereto
(collectively, the "Indenture"). The Warrants will be issued pursuant to one or
more warrant agreements (each, a "Warrant Agreement"),

by and between the Company and a warrant agent (each, a "Warrant Agent").

         We have examined copies of the Registration Statement, in the form
filed with the Commission through the date hereof, the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"),
the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, records of certain of the
Company's and Subsidiary Guarantors' corporate proceedings as reflected in their
respective minute books, and other records and documents that we have deemed
necessary for purposes of this opinion. We have also examined such other
documents, papers, authorities and statutes as we have deemed necessary to form
the basis of the opinions hereinafter set forth.

         In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural
persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to certain facts
material to this opinion, we have relied upon oral or written statements and
representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, public officials, and others, and such other documents
and information as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to
render the opinions expressed below. We have not undertaken any independent
investigation to determine the accuracy of any such facts.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the statements contained
herein, we are of the opinion that:

         1. When the Registration Statement and any required post-effective
amendments thereto and any and all Prospectus Supplement(s) required by
applicable laws have all become effective under the Securities Act, and upon
adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company of a resolution in form and
content as required by applicable law, and assuming that (i) the terms of the
shares of Common Stock are as described in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s), (ii) at the time of
issuance of such shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock
which the Company is authorized to issue in its Certificate of Incorporation,
will exceed the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, (B)
the number of shares of Common Stock held as treasury shares, and (C) the number
of shares of Common Stock which the Company is obligated to issue (or has
otherwise reserved for issuance for any purposes), by at least the number of
such shares of Common Stock, (iii) adequate consideration for such shares of
Common Stock in excess of par value has been paid to, and received by the
Company in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
and the related Prospectus Supplement(s) and by such resolution, and (iv) such
shares of Common Stock, and the issuance thereof, comply with all requirements
and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Company, whether imposed by any
court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company,
such shares of Common Stock (including any Common Stock duly issued upon the
exchange or conversion of Debt Securities, Warrants, and Preferred Stock that
are exchangeable or convertible into Common Stock) will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock to be offered and sold for
the account of the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement have
been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

shares, and (C) the number of shares of Preferred Stock which the Company is
obligated to issue (or has otherwise reserved for issuance for any purposes), by
at least the number of such shares of Preferred Stock, (iii) adequate
consideration for the shares of Preferred Stock in excess of par value has been
paid to, and received by the Company in the manner contemplated by the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s)

rights and limitations of the shares of Preferred Stock do not violate any law
applicable to the Company or result in a default under or breach of any
agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and (v) such shares, and the
issuance thereof, comply with all requirements and restrictions, if any,
applicable to the Company, whether imposed by any court or governmental or
regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company, such shares of Preferred
Stock (including any Preferred Stock duly issued upon the exchange or conversion
of Debt Securities, Warrants, and other series of Preferred Stock that are
exchangeable or convertible into Preferred Stock) will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.

not violate any law applicable to the Company or result in a default under or

Re:     Registration Statement on Form S-3 of Armor Holdings, Inc.


Ladies and Gentlemen:

         I have acted as special counsel to Armor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and B-Square, Inc., a Texas corporation (the
"Subsidiary Guarantor"), in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-113834 (the "Registration Statement"), filed
on March 23, 2004 and Amendment No.1 thereto filed on the date hereof (the
"Amendment") on behalf of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and certain
other subsidiaries of the Company as set forth in the Registration Statement and
the Amendment (the "Subsidiaries") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") relating to the Company's shelf registration of debt and
equity securities in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million. Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the prospectus (the "Prospectus") contained in the Registration
Statement. B-Square, Inc., is referred to as the "Subsidiary Guarantor," and the
guarantee by the Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Indenture between the
Company and Wachovia Bank, National Association, a national banking association
as trustee (the `Trustee") is referred to as the "Guarantee."

          In connection with this opinion letter, I have examined and am
familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement in the form filed with the
Commission on March 23, 2004 and the Amendment in the form to be filed with the
Commission on the date hereof, (ii) the articles of incorporation currently in
effect of the Subsidiary Guarantor; (iii) the Bylaws currently in effect of the
Subsidiary Guarantor; (iv) the Indenture; (v) resolutions of the Board of
Directors of the Subsidiary Guarantor relating to, among other things, the
filing of the Registration Statement and the Amendment; and







(vi) records of certain of the Subsidiary Guarantor's corporate proceedings as
reflected in its minute book. I also have examined and relied upon certificates
of public officials, and a certificate of an officer of the Subsidiary Guarantor
as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth
below.

         In my examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural
persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity
of the originals of such latter documents, and the financial condition of the
Subsidiary Guarantor at all relevant times will be such as will permit the
authorization, execution and performance of the Guarantee under applicable law.
I have also assumed that the Registration Statement, the Amendment, the
Indenture and the Guarantee (the "Documents") have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by each party other than the Subsidiary Guarantor and
that the Documents are or will be valid, binding and enforceable against each
party that is not the Subsidiary Guarantor. I also assume that all parties to
the documents will act in accordance with applicable standards of commercial
reasonableness and good faith and fair dealing and that there has not been
mutual mistake of fact, fraud, duress or undue influence. As to certain facts
material to this opinion, I have relied, without independent verification, upon
written statements and representations of an officer of the Subsidiary Guarantor
and public officials.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the statements contained
herein, I am of the opinion that:

         1.    The Subsidiary Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated,
               validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
               of Texas.

         2.    The Subsidiary Guarantor has all requisite corporate power and
               corporate authority under the laws of the State of Texas to own
               and operate its properties and carry on its business as now
               conducted and to perform its obligations under the Guarantee.

         3.    When (a) the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and
               delivered by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) the
               Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on
               behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantor and the related Debt
               Securities have been duly authenticated by the Trustee and duly
               executed and delivered on behalf of the Company against payment
               therefore in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
               Indenture and as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the
               Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement Supplements(s),
               and (c) the Registration Statement and any required
               post-effective amendments thereto and any and all Prospectus
               Supplements(s) required by applicable laws have all become
               effective under the Securities Act, and assuming (i) that the
               terms of the Guarantee as executed and delivered are as described
               in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related
               Prospectus Supplement(s), (ii) that the Guarantee as executed and
               delivered does not violate any law applicable to the Subsidiary
               Guarantor or result in a default under or breach of any agreement
               or instrument binding upon such Subsidiary Guarantor, (iii) that
               the Guarantee as executed and delivered complies with all
               requirements




                                       2




               and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Subsidiary Guarantor,
               whether imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body
               having jurisdiction over the Subsidiary Guarantor, and (iv) that
               the Guarantee is then issued as contemplated in the Registration
               Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus
               Supplements(s), the Guarantee will constitute the valid and
               binding obligation of the Subsidiary Guarantor.

         The opinions as to the enforceability of the Guarantee is subject to
(i) principles of equity, (ii) the availability of certain equitable remedies,
(iii) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other laws applicable to creditors'
rights or the collection of debtors' obligations generally, and (iv) fraudulent
conveyance laws. This opinion expressly excludes any opinions with respect to
the laws of usury in the State of Texas. With respect to my opinions, I have not
undertaken any special examination of the files of the Subsidiary Guarantor,
other than a review of the Documents and the corporate records of the Subsidiary
Guarantor described above. I have, as to matters of fact and with respect to any
documents or records other than those listed immediately above, relied upon the
representations and warranties of an officer of the Subsidiary Guarantor
delivered in connection with the delivery of this opinion.

         I express no opinion as to the availability or enforceability of the
following provisions and remedies: (i) equitable remedies, including specific
performance and the appointment of a receiver; (ii) self-help remedies; (iii)
provisions relating to waivers by the Subsidiary Guarantor or precluding the
Subsidiary Guarantor from asserting certain claims or defenses or from obtaining
certain rights and remedies; (iv) provisions relating to subrogation rights,
severability, delay or omission of enforcement of rights or remedies,
indemnification, to the extent that such indemnification would be against public
policy or such indemnification provisions purport to indemnify any persons
against violations of securities laws or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct; (v) provisions purporting to establish evidentiary standards for
suits or proceedings to enforce the Guarantee; (vi) provisions limiting the
ability of the parties to modify the Guarantee and the underlying documents,
except by written agreement; (vii) rights of setoff against funds in favor of
persons who do not have possession of such funds or are not the owners and
holders of the obligations against which the offset is made; and (viii) any
provision in the Guarantee purporting to preserve the remedies available to a
party as nonexclusive or distinct, separate and cumulative. Enforcement of
obligations under the Guarantee may also be limited by constitutional
limitations of notice and due process requirements under the United States
Constitution and any other laws limiting the rights of creditors to repossess,
foreclose or otherwise realize upon the property of a debtor without appropriate
notice or hearing. This opinion is limited to the enforceability of the
Guarantee on the date hereof and does not apply to any other documents or
instruments executed by the Subsidiary Guarantor after the date hereof in
connection with the Documents or the transactions funded by the Documents.

         I am qualified to practice law in the State of Texas, and do not
purport to be an expert on, or to express any opinion herein concerning any law,
other than the laws of the State of Texas and the Texas Business Corporation
Act.

        This opinion letter is limited to the specific legal matters expressly
set forth herein and solely with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor, and no
opinion is expressed or implied with










respect to any matter not expressly stated herein. This letter speaks only as of
the date hereof and is limited to present statutes, regulations and
administrative and judicial interpretations, and I have no duty to update these
opinions. I consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the Kane
Kessler, P.C. opinion filed as an exhibit to the Amendment.

         Re:   Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 of Armor
               Holdings, Inc.


Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as special New Hampshire counsel to Casco International,
Inc., Monadnock Lifetime Products, Inc. and Monadnock Police Training Council,
Inc., each a New Hampshire corporation (each a "NH Subsidiary Guarantor" and
collectively, the "NH Subsidiary Guarantors"), for the limited purpose of
rendering the legal opinions set forth herein in connection with the preparation
of Amendment No. 1 to the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No.
333-113834 filed on March 23, 2004, which Amendment is being filed on the date
hereof (the "Amendment" and, as so amended, the "Registration Statement"), on
behalf of Armor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Armor"), and the
Subsidiary Guarantors (as that term is defined in the Registration Statement),
including the NH Subsidiary Guarantors, with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"). The Registration Statement relates to the
Company's offering of up to $500,000,000 of (i) one or more series of debt
securities (the "Debt Securities"), (ii) shares of common stock of Armor, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), (iii) shares of preferred stock of
Armor, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), (iv) warrants to
purchase Debt Securities, Common Stock, or Preferred Stock (the "Warrants"), or
any combination of the foregoing (collectively, the "Securities"). Any series of
Debt Securities and Warrants may be convertible and/or exchangeable for Common
Stock, Preferred Stock, or another series of Debt Securities. Any series of
Preferred Stock may be convertible and/or exchangeable for Common Stock or
another series of Preferred Stock. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to

such terms in the draft prospectus (the "Prospectus") that you have provided to
us and that is a part of the Registration Statement. The Prospectus provides
that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more supplements (each a
"Prospectus Supplement").

         The Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture between
Armor and a trustee (the "Indenture"), the form of which is attached to the
Registration Statement as Exhibit 4.2 subject to one or more supplements
thereto, and will be guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors (including the NH
Subsidiary Guarantors) by their execution and delivery of the Indenture (the
"Guaranty").

         In preparation of this opinion we have examined (1) the Registration
Statement, including the Prospectus and the Indenture; (2) the Articles of
Agreement or Articles of Incorporation, as the case may be, as currently in
effect, of each NH Subsidiary Guarantor; (3) the Bylaws, as currently in effect,
of each NH Subsidiary Guarantor; (4) a certificate of each NH Subsidiary
Guarantor's existence from the New Hampshire Secretary of State dated May 21,
2004; (5) such minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors of each NH
Subsidiary Guarantor as we deemed necessary; and (6) such other documents and
items as we deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion.

         We have relied upon certificates and other information furnished by
Armor and by the NH Subsidiary Guarantors. We have assumed without independent
verification that the information furnished by Armor and the NH Subsidiary
Guarantors is accurate, although nothing has come to our attention which would
suggest that any such certificate, warranty, representation, or information is
inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect. We have not conducted any
independent outside review of agreements, contracts, indentures, instruments,
orders, judgments, rules, regulations, writs, injunctions or decrees by which
the NH Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their property may be bound, nor have we
made any outside independent investigation as to the existence of actions,
suits, investigations or proceedings, if any, pending or threatened against the
NH Subsidiary Guarantors.

         In all our examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents purporting to be originals, and
the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as conformed or
photostatic copies, which facts we have not independently verified. We have
assumed, and we have no information to the contrary, that the minutes of the
meetings of the Board of Directors of the NH Subsidiary Guarantors accurately
reflect the actions taken at those meetings, that the meetings were duly called,
and that a quorum was present in each case. We have also assumed, and we have no
information to the contrary, that the information contained in the documents we
have reviewed is accurate, and we have not independently verified such
information.

         We have also assumed that the financial condition of the NH Subsidiary
Guarantors at all relevant times was, and will be, such as to permit their
authorization, execution and performance of the Indenture under applicable law
and that each of the NH Subsidiary Guarantors will receive a benefit of some
substance in exchange for their guaranty of the Debt Securities.









Armor Holdings, Inc. & Kane Kessler, P.C.

         We have also assumed that the transactions contemplated by the
Indenture have been duly authorized by each of the parties to it other than the
NH Subsidiary Guarantors, that the Indenture will be duly executed and delivered
by each of the other parties to it, that each of the other parties has the power
and authority to execute and deliver the Indenture, and that the Indenture will
constitute a legal, valid and binding agreement of each of the other parties,
subject, if at all, to the General Qualifications as defined in the American Bar
Association Section of Business Legal Opinion Accord (1991), and our opinion in
paragraph 4 below is subject to those General Qualifications.

         We are members of the Bar of the State of New Hampshire, and we express
no opinion as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of New Hampshire. This opinion is limited to the effect of the laws
(including administrative and judicial interpretations) of the State of New
Hampshire and the United States, as they existed on the date of this letter and
to the facts bearing upon the opinions below as they existed on the date of this
letter, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or
modify the opinions below as a consequence of any future changes in the
applicable laws or in the facts bearing upon those opinions. The Indenture
provides that it shall be construed in accordance with the laws of New York, and
our opinion in paragraph 4 below does not constitute an opinion as to whether
the Indenture and Guaranty will be valid and binding to the extent that matter
is construed in accordance with New York law. In addition, our opinion in
paragraph 4 below is subject, if at all, to the General Qualifications as
defined in the American Bar Association Section of Business Legal Opinion Accord
(1991).

         Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         1. Each NH Subsidiary Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New
Hampshire.

         2. Each NH Subsidiary Guarantor has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as, to our
knowledge, it is now conducted and presently proposed to be conducted, and to
perform its obligations under the Indenture.

         3. The execution and delivery of the Indenture by each NH Subsidiary
Guarantor and the performance of each NH Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations
under the Indenture, including the Guaranty, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of each NH Subsidiary Guarantor.

         4. When the Commission declares the Registration Statement effective
and the Indenture has been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the
Indenture, the Guaranty by each NH Subsidiary Guarantor of the Debt Securities
will be the valid and binding obligation of such company.

         In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined and are
familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement in the form filed on March 23,
2004, with the Commission and the Amendment in the form to be filed with the
Commission as of the date hereof; (ii) the certificate of incorporation, the

the Subsidiary Guarantors' corporate proceedings as reflected in their
respective minute books and other records and documents that we have deemed

opinions set forth below.

         In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural
persons, genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity
of the originals of such latter documents, and the financial condition of the
Additional Registrants at all relevant times will be such as will permit the
authorization, execution and performance of the acts defined in the Registration
Statement under applicable law. As to certain facts material to this opinion, we
have relied, without independent verification, upon oral or written statements
and representations of officers and other representatives of the Additional
Registrants, public officials and others.

         We have not examined the financial books and records of the Additional
Registrants nor made any independent investigation to determine the existence of
facts, except as described herein. As to questions of fact material to this
opinion, we have relied, upon the representations of the Company and the
Additional Registrants. Except as stated above, we have not undertaken any
independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts,
and no inference as to our actual knowledge of the existence or absence of such
facts should be drawn from this letter or our representation of the Additional
Registrants. Further, you are not to infer that we have independently verified
the accuracy of any representations or warranties of the Additional Registrants
to you or any information contained in any Certificate of Officer or Director,

Additional Registrants or the compliance by the Additional Registrants with any
covenant existing in any document.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the assumptions,
qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

         1.    Each of the Additional Registrants is validly existing and in
               good standing under the law of the State of California.

         2.    Each of the Additional Registrants has all requisite power and
               authority under California law to own and operate its properties
               and carry on its business as now conducted and to perform its
               obligations under the Guarantees.

         3.    The execution and delivery of the Guarantees by each of of the
               Additional Registrants has been duly authorized by all requisite
               action on the part of each of the Additional Registrants.

         4.    When (a) the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed, and
               delivered by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) the
               Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on
               behalf of each of the Additional Registrants and the related Debt
               Securities have been duly authenticated by the Trustee and duly
               executed and delivered on behalf of the Company against payment
               therefore in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
               Indenture and as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the

               all Prospectus Supplement(s) required by applicable laws have all
               become effective under the Securities Act, and assuming (i) that
               the terms of the Guarantee as executed and delivered are as
               described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the
               related Prospectus Supplement(s), (ii) that the Guarantee as
               executed and delivered do not violate any law applicable to each
               of the Additional Registrants or result in a default under or
               breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon such each of
               the Additional Registrants, (iii) that the Guarantee as executed
               and delivered comply with all requirements and restrictions, if
               any, applicable to each of the Additional Registrants, whether
               imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having
               jurisdiction over each of the Additional Registrants, and (iv)
               that the Guarantee is then issued as contemplated in the
               Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus
               Supplement(s), the Guarantee will constitute the valid and
               binding obligation of each of the Additional Registrants.

         Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-3 of Armor Holdings, Inc.
                  ----------------------------------------------------------


Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as special counsel to Armor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and Pro-Tech Armored Products of Massachusetts,
Inc. ("Pro-Tech"), one of the Subsidiary Guarantors listed on Exhibit A hereto
(the "Subsidiary Guarantors") in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-113834 (the "Registration
Statement"), filed on behalf of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and Amendment No. 1
thereto filed on the date hereof (the "Amendment"). The Registration Statement
relates to the Company's offering of up to an aggregate of $500,000,000 of (i)
one or more series of debt securities (the "Debt Securities"), which may be
guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by the Subsidiary Guarantors, (ii) shares of
common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"),
(iii) shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Preferred Stock"), (iv) warrants to purchase Debt Securities, Common Stock, or
Preferred Stock (the "Warrants"), or any combination of the foregoing
(collectively, the "Securities"). Any series of Debt Securities and Warrants may
be convertible and/or exchangeable for Common Stock, Preferred Stock, or another
series of Debt Securities. Any series of Preferred Stock may be convertible
and/or






Page 2
May 26, 2004


exchangeable for Common Stock or another series of Preferred Stock. Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the Prospectus, which is a part of the Registration Statement. The
guarantee by Pro-Tech with respect to the Debt Securities is referred to as the
"Guarantee."

         The Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture between the
Company and Wachovia Bank, National Association, a national banking association
as trustee (the "Trustee"), and one or more supplements thereto (collectively,
the "Indenture"). The Warrants will be issued pursuant to one or more warrant
agreements (each, a "Warrant Agreement"), by and between the Company and a
warrant agent (each, a "Warrant Agent").

         In delivering this opinion letter, we have examined and are familiar
with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction,
and relied upon (i) the Registration Statement in the form filed with the
Commission through the date hereof; (ii) the Articles of Organization, as
currently in effect, of Pro-Tech; (iii) the By-laws, as currently in effect, of
Pro-Tech; (iv) the Indenture; (v) Written Consent of the Board of Directors of
Pro-Tech dated May 19, 2004 relating to, among other things, the issuance of
Debt Securities and the filing of the Registration Statement and the Amendment;
(vi) Certificates of Legal Existence and Good Standing of Pro-Tech dated May 19,
2004 issued by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the
"Massachusetts Certificates"); and (vii) certain representations made to us by
Pro-Tech. We also have examined and relied upon such other documents, corporate
records, certificates, instruments and other information, as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

         In our examination of such materials, we have assumed the legal
capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic
copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents, and the
financial condition of Pro-Tech at all relevant times will be such as will
permit the authorization, execution and performance of the Guarantee under
applicable law. As to certain facts material to this opinion, we have relied
without independent verification upon oral or written statements and
representations of officers and other representatives of Pro-Tech, public
officials and others. In addition, we have also assumed that the transaction
related to the issuance of the Debt Securities will be consummated in accordance
with the terms of the documents and forms of documents described herein.

         Our opinion set forth below is further qualified to the extent that:

         1. We have not made any independent review of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the laws of the United States of America and the
Commonwealth of






Page 3
May 26, 2004


Massachusetts. Accordingly, except as set forth below, we express no opinion
herein as to the effect of the law of any state or jurisdiction other than the
law of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as
applied by the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without giving
effect to rules regarding choice of law), as to which we have made such
investigation as we have deemed appropriate.

         2. We have undertaken no factual investigation in any regard except as
specifically provided herein. To the extent that our opinion relates to matters
as to which governmental agencies have issued certificates, these opinions speak
as of the respective dates of such certificates and opinions. Our opinion as to
the legal existence and corporate good standing of Pro-Tech is based solely on
the Massachusetts Certificates.

         3. This opinion is being given as of its date based upon the facts and
assumptions set forth herein and upon existing law and interpretations thereof
in effect on the date hereof, and no assurance can be given that there will not
be subsequent changes in such facts and assumptions, or in such law and
interpretations thereof, which may affect the conclusions set forth herein.

         4. This opinion is issued solely for the benefit of the addressees
hereof in connection with the Registration Statement and the Amendment, and may
not be published or communicated by you to any other person for any purpose
without our prior written approval and may not be relied upon by any other
person for any purpose or by you for any other purpose.

         Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-3 of Armor Holdings, Inc.


Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as special counsel to Armor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-113834 (the "Registration
Statement"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
filed on March 23, 2004 on behalf of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors
named therein (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") and Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on May 26, 2004
(the "Amendment"). You have provided us with a draft prospectus (the
"Prospectus") which is a part of the Registration Statement. The Prospectus
provides that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more supplements
to the Prospectus (each, a "Prospectus Supplement"). The Registration Statement
relates to the Company's offering of up to an aggregate of $500,000,000 of (i)
one or more series of debt securities (the "Debt Securities"), which may be
guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"), (ii)
shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), (iii) shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Preferred Stock"), (iv) warrants to purchase Debt Securities, Common
Stock, or Preferred Stock (the "Warrants"), or any combination of the foregoing
(collectively, the "Securities"), all as more fully described in the
Registration Statement and the Amendment. Any series of Debt Securities and
Warrants may be convertible and/or exchangeable for Common Stock, Preferred
Stock, or another series of Debt Securities. Any series of Preferred Stock may
be convertible and/or exchangeable for Common Stock or another series of
Preferred Stock. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Prospectus.

         The Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the
"Indenture") to be entered into among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and
Wachovia Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Warrants
will be issued pursuant to one or more warrant agreements (each, a "Warrant
Agreement"), by and between the Company and a warrant agent (each, a "Warrant
Agent"). The O'Gara Company, an Ohio corporation, is referred to as the "Ohio
Subsidiary Guarantor", and the guarantee by the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor with
respect to the Securities is referred to as the "Guarantee". Our representation
of the Company in connection with the Registration Statement, the Amendment and
transactions referred to therein is limited to the matters addressed herein
relating to the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor.

         In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined and are
familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement and the Amendment in the form to
be filed with the Commission on the date hereof; (ii) the certificate of
incorporation, as amended, of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor; (iii) the Code of
Regulations and all amendments thereto of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor; (iv)
the Indenture; (v) the certificate of the Secretary of the Ohio Subsidiary
Guarantor attesting to certain factual matters as to the governing documents,
directors and officers of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor; (vi) resolutions of the
Board of Directors of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor relating to, among other
things, the issuance of the Securities and the filing of the Registration
Statement and the Amendment; (vii) records of certain of the Ohio Subsidiary
Guarantor's corporate proceedings as reflected in its minute book and other
records and documents that we have deemed necessary for purposes of this
opinion; and (viii) the Certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of
Ohio, with respect to the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor, dated May 20, 2004,
attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing in Ohio, with
respect to the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor, and upon which we have solely relied
in rendering the opinion set forth in Paragraph 1 below.

         In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined the
originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such other corporate
records of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor, certificates of public officials and
of officers of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor, and such agreements, instruments
and other documents, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions
expressed below. In rendering the opinion, we have also relied with your
permission upon the certificate(s) of an officer of the Ohio Subsidiary
Guarantor executed in favor of Kane Kessler, P.C., a copy of which is attached
hereto (the "Officer's Certificate"). In rendering the opinions set forth
herein, we have also relied upon the representations and warranties relating to
the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor in the Indenture and upon the certificates and
other agreements, documents or certificates of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor
delivered pursuant to the Indenture, Registration Statement, the Amendment (the
"Documents") and this opinion letter.

         In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural
persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity
of the originals of such latter documents. We have also assumed, with your
permissions, that the financial condition of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor at
all relevant times will be such as will permit the authorization, execution and
performance of the Guarantee









May 26, 2004

under applicable law. As to certain facts material to this opinion, we have
relied without independent verification upon oral or written statements and
representations of officers and other representatives of the Ohio Subsidiary
Guarantor, public officials and others. We have further assumed the completeness
and the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as
photostatic or facsimile copies, the authenticity of originals of such
documents, and the genuineness of the signatures appearing thereon. We have
further assumed that you have considered the applicability to the transactions
contemplated by the Documents of fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws, as to
which we express no opinion.

         In addition, we have assumed that (a) none of the Documents listed or
referred to above have been amended by oral or written agreement or by the
conduct of the respective parties thereto, (b) none of the information contained
in any of the Documents reviewed by us contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein not misleading, and (c) no fraud exists with respect to any of
the matters relevant to the opinions hereinafter expressed; provided, however,
to the best of our knowledge we have no reason to believe that any of such
assumptions is incorrect.

       We note that the Indenture provides that it is governed by the law of the
State of New York. We have assumed, with your consent, that the law of the State
of Ohio is identical to the law of New York in all respects material to our
opinions expressed in paragraphs one through four below.

       Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set forth
herein, we are of the opinion that:

              1. The Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor is validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Ohio.

              2. The Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor has all requisite corporate power
and corporate authority under Ohio law to own and operate its properties and
carry on its business as now conducted and to perform its obligations under the
Guarantee.

              3. The execution and delivery of the Guarantee by the Ohio
Subsidiary Guarantor and the performance of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor's
obligations under the Guarantee have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action on the part of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor.

              4. When (a) the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed, and
delivered by the Company and the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) the Guarantee
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Ohio
Subsidiary Guarantor and the related Debt Securities have been duly
authenticated by the Trustee and duly executed and delivered on behalf of the
Company against payment therefore in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Indenture and as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
and the related Prospectus Supplement(s), and (c) the Registration Statement and
any required post-effective







May 26, 2004
Page 4


amendments thereto and any and all Prospectus Supplement(s) required by
applicable laws have all become effective under the Securities Act, and assuming
(i) that the terms of the Guarantee as executed and delivered are as described
in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus
Supplement(s), (ii) that the Guarantee as executed and delivered des not violate
any law applicable to the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor or result in a default under
or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Ohio Subsidiary
Guarantor, (iii) that the Guarantee as executed and delivered complies with all
requirements and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Ohio Subsidiary
Guarantor, whether imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body
having jurisdiction over the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor, and (iv) that the
Guarantee is then issued as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s), the Guarantee will
constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Ohio Subsidiary Guarantor.

         The opinions set forth herein are subject to the following additional
qualifications, assumptions and exceptions:

         (a)   the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
               or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
               creditors' rights generally;

         (b)   that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other
               forms of equitable relief may be subject to general principles of
               equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
               in a proceeding in equity or at law);

         (c)   provisions of the Documents may be unenforceable where (i) the
               breach of such provisions imposes restrictions or burdens upon
               the obligees, and it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement
               of such restrictions or burdens is reasonably necessary for the
               protection of the obligee, (ii) the obligee's enforcement of such
               provisions under the circumstances would violate the obligee's
               implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or (iii) the
               breach of such provision is not a material breach of a material
               covenant or provision;

         (d)   the effect of statutes and rules of law which cannot be waived
               prospectively by an obligor;

         (e)   The enforceability of: (a) self-help provisions (including
               provisions granting a power of attorney or provisions authorizing
               the use of force or a breach of peace in enforcing rights or
               remedies), (b) provisions relating to the collection of attorney
               fees or costs incurred by another party to enforce any
               contractual obligation, (c) provisions which purport to establish
               evidentiary standards, (d) provisions relating to waivers of
               rights or remedies (or the delay or omission of enforcement
               thereof), disclaimers,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as special counsel to Armor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), with regard to aspects of Arizona law related to
the Company's subsidiaries listed on attached Exhibit A (the "Arizona Subsidiary
Guarantors"), in connection with their guarantees (the "Guarantees") of certain
debt securities of the Company (the "Debt Securities") proposed to be issued
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the form of indenture (the
"Indenture") to be filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to
the Company's registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-113834, in
connection with the registration of the sale and issuance of the Debt Securities
and other securities of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$500,000,000 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").

         In rendering this opinion, we have examined the following documents:

         i. a draft of the form of Indenture, which includes the Guarantees;

         ii. the Registration Statement and a draft of the Amendment;

         iii. the articles of incorporation of each Arizona Subsidiary Guarantor
as currently in effect;

         iv. the bylaws of each Arizona Subsidiary Guarantor as currently in
effect;

         v. the certificates of officers of the Company and Arizona Subsidiary
Guarantors attached as Exhibits B and C;

         vi. signed unanimous written consents of the board of directors of each
Arizona Subsidiary Guarantor relating to, among other things, the Guarantees and
the filing of the Registration Statement and the Amendment (collectively, the
"Transactions");

         vii. records of certain of the Arizona Subsidiary Guarantors' corporate
proceedings as reflected in their respective minute books and other records and
documents that we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering this opinion;
and



Page 2

         viii. such other documents, corporate records, certificates,
instruments and other information, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as
a basis for the opinions set forth below.

         In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural
persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity
of the originals of such latter documents, that all documents accurately
describe and contain the mutual understanding of the parties, that there are no
oral or written statements or agreements that modify, amend, or vary or purport
to modify, amend, or vary, any of the terms of such documents, that the Company
and the Arizona Subsidiary Guarantors own all properties, assets and rights
purported to be owned by each of them respectively, the financial condition of
the Arizona Subsidiary Guarantors at all relevant times will be such as will
permit the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Guarantees
under applicable law, and that the application of Arizona law will not be
contrary to a fundamental policy of the laws of any other state with which the
parties may have contact in connection with the Transactions and the related
agreements. We have further assumed that each Arizona Subsidiary Guarantor has
paid all income taxes, fines, jeopardy or fraud assessments and interest due
from it and payable to the State of Arizona. As to certain facts material to
this opinion, we have relied without independent verification upon oral or
written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of
the Arizona Subsidiary Guarantors, public officials and others.

         Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations expressed
herein, we are of the opinion that:



               1.   Each Arizona Subsidiary Guarantor is a corporation, validly
                    existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
                    Arizona.

               2.   Each Arizona Subsidiary Guarantor has the requisite
                    corporate power and corporate authority under Arizona law to
                    own and operate its properties and carry on its business as,
                    to our knowledge, such business is now conducted and to
                    perform its obligations under the Guarantees.

               3.   The execution and delivery of the Guarantees by each Arizona
                    Subsidiary Guarantor and the performance of its obligations
                    under the Guarantees have been duly authorized by all
                    requisite corporate action on the part of such Arizona
                    Subsidiary Guarantor.

               4.   When (a) the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed,
                    and delivered by the Company and each of the Arizona
                    Subsidiary Guarantors, (b) the Guarantees have been duly
                    authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of each of the
                    Arizona Subsidiary Guarantors and the related Debt
                    Securities have been duly authenticated by Wachovia Bank,
                    National Association, a national banking association, as
                    trustee, and duly executed and delivered on behalf of the
                    Company against payment therefor in accordance with the
                    terms and provisions of the Indenture and as contemplated by
                    the Registration Statement, the prospectus filed with the
                    Amendment (the "Prospectus") and the related prospectus
                    supplement(s) (the "Prospectus Supplement(s)"), and (c) the
                    Registration Statement and any required post-effective
                    amendments thereto and



Page 3

                    any and all related Prospectus Supplement(s) required by
                    applicable laws have all become effective under the
                    Securities Act, and assuming (i) the terms of the Guarantees
                    as executed and delivered are the same as the drafts
                    reviewed by us and as described in the Registration
                    Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus
                    Supplement(s), (ii) the Guarantees as executed and delivered
                    do not violate any law applicable to each Arizona Subsidiary
                    Guarantor or result in a default under or breach of any
                    agreement or instrument binding upon each such Arizona
                    Subsidiary Guarantor, (iii) the Guarantees as executed and
                    delivered comply with all requirements and restrictions, if
                    any, applicable to each Arizona Subsidiary Guarantor,
                    whether imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory
                    body having jurisdiction over the Arizona Subsidiary
                    Guarantor, and (iv) the Guarantees are then issued as
                    contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
                    and the related Prospectus Supplement(s), then:

                               (A) the execution and delivery of the Guarantees
                               by each Arizona Subsidiary Guarantor and the
                               performance of each Arizona Subsidiary Guarantor
