Buy nice

2020-01-17 23:12:38 UTC  

III+ is not a thing. It's something AR500 made up

2020-01-17 23:13:21 UTC  

That's also true, it's not NIJ, it's their own testing they've come up with to show that it will stop threats greater than level iii

2020-01-17 23:13:21 UTC  

It jumps from 3a to IV right?

2020-01-17 23:13:30 UTC  

3a to 3 to 4

2020-01-17 23:13:49 UTC  

@Fartfignewton thank you

2020-01-17 23:14:28 UTC  

I’m talking by nij

2020-01-17 23:15:04 UTC  

NIJ does not test for 3+

2020-01-17 23:15:33 UTC  

Yes its inhouse testing to determine the armor can take greater than level 3 threats, as I said

2020-01-17 23:16:02 UTC  

A lot of armor companies do inhouse testing and then pay for NIJ testing

2020-01-17 23:16:23 UTC  

There are also independent labs that test that are not NIJ

2020-01-17 23:18:47 UTC  

The non NIJ certification made me sell off some PE plates that bought without doing the research. Then bought the ceramics for what a guy paid for my PEs

2020-01-17 23:19:28 UTC  

You'll see more companies forego NIJ testing to keep costs down

2020-01-17 23:19:40 UTC  

Depends what you are comfortable with

2020-01-17 23:21:04 UTC  

There are other independent testing labs

2020-01-17 23:21:20 UTC  

NIJ testing literally costs 10s of thousands of dollars

2020-01-17 23:21:41 UTC  

And most armor companies do not produce the volume to mitigate that cost

2020-01-17 23:22:01 UTC  

Hence why their plates are 2-300 bucks instead of 100

2020-01-18 00:56:48 UTC  

With the new NIJ Standards many companies are just waiting to get there plates tested on the new standard instead of wasting the money on the old standard

2020-01-18 00:58:34 UTC  

Source on that?

2020-01-18 01:25:46 UTC  

Okay but a source?

2020-01-18 01:55:20 UTC  

Didn't find anything. At all. Even going past the first page.

Nice nice what did you order

2020-01-18 02:55:33 UTC  

Guessing an optic

2020-01-18 02:59:01 UTC  

Sweet

2020-01-18 02:59:09 UTC  

Let us know how it performs

2020-01-18 03:00:38 UTC  

Will do, the 1.5x is different. I like it when glassing. But definitely off up close

@MrBlack what’s on your pew pew now

2020-01-18 03:14:11 UTC  

ADE?

2020-01-18 03:14:18 UTC  

Padding ignorance

2020-01-18 03:15:45 UTC  

Ahh, not tearing at you so don’t take it that way. I’m just afraid to go cheap

2020-01-18 03:16:03 UTC  

Everything fucking breaks for me. So I’m afraid to

2020-01-18 03:17:22 UTC  

I would trust holosun I just am skeptical of much else that is cheap

2020-01-18 03:20:24 UTC  

Holosun is great, only downside is it won't handle explosions

2020-01-18 03:22:15 UTC  

More just a joke about eotech being "ied proof" and that being why all other dots are inferior
