Depends on the round

2019-09-12 13:11:46 UTC  

They do basically nothing against rifle calibre rounds

2019-09-12 13:11:54 UTC  

thats what i mean

2019-09-12 13:11:55 UTC  

against smaller ones, I think it's somewhat reliable

2019-09-12 13:12:05 UTC  

Saw Donut do a video where a guy in full armour with mask got 1 hit killed

2019-09-12 13:12:37 UTC  

It's probably not bad against 9mm, I wonder about .45 though

2019-09-12 13:13:01 UTC  

theres no way you wouldnt knock a guy on his ass

2019-09-12 13:13:19 UTC  

I don't think there's much practical armour that can stop .50 BMG, it's always a balancing act

2019-09-12 13:13:23 UTC  

It would be like being punched in the face by a bullet, literally

2019-09-12 13:13:38 UTC  

Nothing should be able to stop a fucking .50

2019-09-12 13:14:01 UTC  

A thick enough shield might.

2019-09-12 13:14:02 UTC  

???

2019-09-12 13:14:04 UTC  

is anyone watching that census video?

2019-09-12 13:14:06 UTC  

Plenty can stop a 50

2019-09-12 13:14:06 UTC  

It would be highly impractical

2019-09-12 13:14:09 UTC  

and heavy

2019-09-12 13:14:20 UTC  

It goes through most vehicles

2019-09-12 13:14:27 UTC  

you can stop a 50 by entombing yourself in 100 tons of concrete

2019-09-12 13:14:31 UTC  

Thin skinned ones @Samaritan

2019-09-12 13:14:35 UTC  

My woad Celtic body paint can stop a .50

2019-09-12 13:14:37 UTC  

basically the goverment alters the results before they are released... whats the point 😛

2019-09-12 13:14:50 UTC  

I think some of the tougher commercial shields can stop a 5.56/7.62 even.

2019-09-12 13:14:56 UTC  

we should just entomb all of our soldiers in 100 tons of concrete so they're immune to small arms fire

2019-09-12 13:15:04 UTC  

Plenty of body armour can stop 5.56 and 7.62

2019-09-12 13:15:14 UTC  

Level 4 plates will do that all day

2019-09-12 13:15:31 UTC  

They can't take multiple hits very well though

2019-09-12 13:15:36 UTC  

They can

2019-09-12 13:15:42 UTC  

They're made of steel

2019-09-12 13:15:47 UTC  

Ceramic ones on the other hand

2019-09-12 13:15:50 UTC  

Can't take many hits

2019-09-12 13:15:50 UTC  

And you probably are going to sustain injury just by the force of such a round

2019-09-12 13:15:55 UTC  

Yeah you're right about the steel ones

2019-09-12 13:16:01 UTC  

Yeah, the energy hitting you does quite a lot of damage

2019-09-12 13:16:08 UTC  

If you shoot enough, even concrete doesn't last forever.

2019-09-12 13:16:09 UTC  

Breaks ribs and whatnot

2019-09-12 13:16:15 UTC  

Depending where you get hit

2019-09-12 13:16:20 UTC  

"jittering the figures" the gov calls it

2019-09-12 13:16:27 UTC  

Also depends on shield vs body armor

2019-09-12 13:16:50 UTC  

Giving out shields would be more practical then you'd think

2019-09-12 13:17:08 UTC  

well police does use them sometimes, do they not?

2019-09-12 13:17:08 UTC  

No, shields aren't practical
