eventually probably working onmultiple projects with new independant dircetros etc.

id think the earliest days would be the only ones working with crowdfunding

Real question is, Jin-Roh armor or 40k armor?

jin roh

there is no question

Should I make a fully functioning suit of jin roh armor with real ballistic protection?

the real chad design of the jin roh armor is that there is no ballistic protection

nothing reliable at least

it stops bullets, that's even shown with them glancing of the side of the helmet.

I mean by its apparent design

it's too bulky to go prone in and it is mostly leather with some ballistic plates stuck on

a man should not be able to withstand fire in it

then we improve it without sacrificing the full body protection

modern plate carriers really are the best you can do with existing tech

if you want to tank thru fire standing or kneeling you would need more and heavier armor which would require a powered exoskeleton of some kind

and then you just get AT missiled

looks good

but if those armor pieces were made of ballistic ceramic they would weigh over 100 pounds

looks fully flexible to me

ceramic is shit

?

steel is where its at

I've got tier 3 steel plates

RHO was made obsolete decades ago

Ceramic breaks upon impact though, a few shots and your armor is gone

how heavy is tier 3 steel chest plate

14 lbs

yow

its ar500 steel

it's not that noticeable while wearing it, I've gone on some log jogs just to get used to it.

the armor most definitely would be heavy, but I think you can train with it to be strong enough.

I'm sure you could, and it would be viable for an inserted force that did not need to carry much gear

you would need to adjust the design to not have plates hanging loose

you'd have to replace that crotch piece with kevlar for sure

the jin Roh police force had LMGs with 50 round belts from a backpack

You're typing fast.

what does an mg42 weigh

25

yeah 150ish with ammo makes the load ok

plus 50 rounds
