But HE is illegal in most places

So they sell slugs

> But HE is illegal in most places
@Puggamaximus It’s only illegal if they find out

It's kinda hard to aquire without people finding out.

@ididwolfup yeah

Yeah

All munitons that are sold are recorded

Plates came in just in time

Nice, wish I could afford some. What kind/rating?

Hesco 4401 level 4 plates

Atarmor had em for like 150 a piece back in March when I ordered

Sorry 4400 not 4401

So I'm looking at some level III+ plates vs the level IV from AR500, but is there a legitimate reason why Level IV would be worth spending significantly more?

I get it: more stopping power, but wouldnt the majority of what I'd be facing be stopped by III+ anyway?

honestly? Because why not, and dont buy AR500

I had my eye on the Level III+ from Ar500 also. I'd rather the basically infinite shelf life of steel versus the 10 or 15 year for the level 4 composite.

That's my thought process.

do you like spalling in your brain? get steel

dont fall for meme anti spall coat

Why not? Have you tested it? (honest question)

plenty have

you can get a level 4 ceramic plate for pretty cheap if you dont care about weight

Wouldn't some of the spalling be stopped by either the coating and/or the vest, though?

David can I link something here?

Also ceramic usually still has a metal plate.

Yes as long as it's on topic

One of my first critiques on that Reddit is AR500 is NIJ certified. Maybe that's a new thing that came after that post but still relevant to know.

thats news to me honestly

Or at least part of their line is

It's one of those things where in my opinion if part of your line can get certified it says probably all are held to the same standard.

fair enough, I would just rather have the piece of mind that combat proven armor provides

@Stargatemaster96 I wouldnt go that far... but I do want to look into that

Is there a way to post videos to discord from your phone?

Yes

If it's a downloaded clip I think you can do it the same as a photo. For a Link you just paste the link.

I might have to put it in my download filed

Discord has a basic limit on file sz
