nvm im retarded
You know milsurp vehicles are notoriously terrible, right?
yes i do
and cash and gas hogs
it is smarter to buy full-lengt sprinter
and diy it to perfection
but armor plates cost so much ;_;
If you have a forklift and a torch you can probably scrap the armour from a non functional armoured vehicle
nah cutting armor plates is even more PITA even with wate&sand jet
and torch would ruin the plates
Right, the temper
What about chinkshit steel plate?
hmm alibaba
If you live near a rail hub or a major port it would be possibel
i do
1000 per metric ton
quite shitty price from BHW500
How thick are you getting it?
Layering thinner plates might be more economical
And easier to work with
sooo aprox 15mm tops
20mm for sure but weight...
54r?
Because I'm pretty sure 10mm of plate would take care of 99% of 7.62 x39 ammo
and most of of 8mm ones too
depends if you want to prevent warping%
thoo 7.62 iirc does penetrate 8mm of RHA armor plates
@300m
sooo~
or was it 7mm plates
cant remember
(those are for AP rounds*)
Steel body armour in the US is about 10mm with antispall coating (truck bed liner), I think
tho if i consider those plates would be between the outer and inner wallpanels the 7.62 would still penetrate reinforcement beams and just make the car "tincan with superball in it"
composites cost a shitton
Oh, nvm, you're talking about armour piercing
aluminium alloys are option but they are not that good (only for small arms fire)
(>implying my sprinter would ever see weapons outside of gunrange and controlled testing)
and i dont think i can could never afford composites or DU-Composites
If you're trying to stop armour pericong ammo you're fighting a losing battle
