Ofc it can be a hand-made cosplay approximating the real thing
I have literally never seen one of those in use for armored vehicles, and if anyone put that much kevlar on themselves they wouldn't be able to get in any military vehicle.
The guy in this MRAP would not be able to reload if he was that much crap.
If they ever saw the need to dismount when say....
Adults who obsess over Pokémon are the least mature fuck heads in the world.
I’ve seen so many seemingly normal adults turn into squealing kids just at the mention of Pokémon.
Fucking pathetic
@UrstMcRedHead it was adopted, but soldiers unversally booed it
So in practice it never appeared anywhere, you are correct
I never said those those suits didn't exist.
Primarily because US troops are in some sizzling climate warzones and those layers won't do you any good if you already are near a heat stroke
Who the fuck is what in that title.
"Gunner's safety suit"
Some witch
Good idea on paper, not so much in the field
Bomb suits are cute
There is also a secondary "collar" that goes over that suit
Which is why they only got used for EOD
For extra shrapnel deceleration
@UrstMcRedHead they can stop pistol rounds too
Yes....
Because Level3 soft pads are easy to make
Back to my last point though @Uksio
Those only saw use with EOD, and it was limited because having that much protection against things that are slower than rifle bullets will slow you down, and make you useless.'
Or give you a heatstroke
or both
A periscopic gun control is a better option anyway
You don't expose any soldiers and pew pew pew 360° around the car
Until he has to leave the car.
which soldiers tend to have to do.
Also reloading tends to suck, along with visibility.
lol it looks like a friggin spacesuit
We have ballistic goggles that are a hell of a lot smaller than that..
@UrstMcRedHead reloading is not hard, there is a smaller roof hatch to poke your hands through and swap the box
