It looked like level 2 kevlar tbh

2019-11-29 17:10:57 UTC  

i havent seen anything of it but always wrap up

2019-11-29 17:10:59 UTC  

they were there in minutes

2019-11-29 17:11:48 UTC  

If it was an actual terrorist attack then they could have been tracking the attacker which could have been why they were able to respond so fast

2019-11-29 17:12:34 UTC  

havent there been multiple london bridge attacks tho

2019-11-29 17:12:49 UTC  

like not today but over recent years

2019-11-29 17:12:57 UTC  

This is the second major one

2019-11-29 17:13:08 UTC  

I think

2019-11-29 17:13:18 UTC  

thats what i thought

2019-11-29 17:13:28 UTC  

so theyd have armed police there

2019-11-29 17:13:42 UTC  

or at least on standby

2019-11-29 17:14:36 UTC  

As I thought, no ballistic plates

2019-11-29 17:16:56 UTC  

How do you know?

2019-11-29 17:17:04 UTC  

They're on the roofs

2019-11-29 17:17:17 UTC  

If they had plates in their carriers then they would be a lot bulkier @Mikey

2019-11-29 17:17:23 UTC  

Front, back and potentially sides

2019-11-29 17:17:29 UTC  

what's that mask hunter

2019-11-29 17:17:32 UTC  

They're thick metal, or ceramic

2019-11-29 17:17:42 UTC  

Tbh they're not that thick these days.

2019-11-29 17:17:50 UTC  

Depends on the level really

2019-11-29 17:17:51 UTC  

But probably not level three tho

2019-11-29 17:17:57 UTC  

Level 3, reasonably thick

2019-11-29 17:18:03 UTC  

I'll have a look around @Crafty

2019-11-29 17:18:06 UTC  

Ehhh, hardened steel can have the same density and weight as none hardened

2019-11-29 17:18:21 UTC  

i know some forces use ballistic face masks

2019-11-29 17:18:26 UTC  

There is spalling protection added onto the plates

2019-11-29 17:18:27 UTC  

But British police, most likely are just stab vests.

2019-11-29 17:18:41 UTC  

I'd imagine it's just a level 2 vest, able to stop pistols

2019-11-29 17:18:45 UTC  

but that just looks like a mask

2019-11-29 17:18:55 UTC  

Though, they do look like military vests. So maybe they are level three. Who knows

2019-11-29 17:19:26 UTC  

What we're seeing in the carrier, if there were plates then they would be slid into a pouch in that carrier

2019-11-29 17:19:50 UTC  

maybe even boss level

2019-11-29 17:20:21 UTC  

Whatever they're using, it's not the same as the army @Crafty

2019-11-29 17:20:33 UTC  

I know, but military vests are pretty sleek these days is what I'm saying. The plates only need to cover the vital organs. So, from just about where the top of the rib cage meets to the upper stomach

2019-11-29 17:20:54 UTC  

Yeah, but if that carrier had a plate in it, then it would be much bulkier.
