Wish the Army had let me keep mine...
That's why I was asking about the spell sleeves.
I see they have a coating already, which from what I saw MIGHT help.?
BCM’s are pretty nice.
They are ok
But I'd get the coating
Just... coat the entire plate in flex seal
The coating will stop like, one round center mass at directly 90 degrees from immediately killing you.
Wow what a deal
Add duct tape and then flex than spall coating
The poors can improvise!
Fuck I wish I saved my anti-steel rant from a few months a go when a literal AR500 shill was trying to be smart
Sure, the steel will hold up. But the person won't. Hahaha
Honestly I had no idea what I was doing. I just new I needed something rather than nothing
what's wrong with steel plates?
just curious
I run steel anyways, because it's what I have and it's good for weight training.
Steel spalls, causing shrapnel basically.
The spall from the round will end up in your chin/neck from what I gathered
That’s problem 1 out of like 30
I've heard you can use truck bed liner to coat it
lol
Spalling. Steel is also typically velocity penetrable as well, meaning that with more velocity, the more a round can hurt it.
Truck bed liner doesn’t do that it’s *literally* a meme
I see
Yeah that doesn’t work
I said flex seal as a joke..... but it might actually work...
I’ve seen people with bandaged faces due to steel
Fuck I’ve seen people with bandages from shooting steel targets, let alone getting shot wearing one
Well fuck me and Callsign apparently 🤦♂️
Yeah, when I bought my plates I was unaware of the issues with steel.
I have Hoplite Lvl IV swimmers on the way.
What did that run you?
Are those ceramic?
I have ESAPIS, hescos and steels for workouts
I believe $299 for front and back.
I want ESAPIS
And they’re ceramic.
Well fuck.
