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

if i were to do it i would need to test it with 7.62

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

i know

but wondering how fucking heavy would AP-resistant (not proof) sprinter be
