In case your flying machine stops doing the flying part
I did SERE, that was enough humping around in the woods for me.

I’ve been on a chinook once
That’s my only experience with helis
Wanna be flight medic but the school has a few fucked up civilian contracts and I’d have to re-enlist for like 6 years

Bro girls are gay and have cooties
And date night takes money away from the gun fund
That’s true
Honestly for the prov con. IV plates are a waste of money man. Your best bang for your buck is to go III+. The only real advantage the IV has over the III+ is that it can take a .50 cal hit, but the impact would kill you, so its pointless.
I’ll look into that. Any good plates in mind?
From personal experience, AR500 are the best on the market. I have used them for years. I actually used them back in the day before they were called AR500 and it was just two guys making plates in their garage.
I would also advise steel over ceramic. There are almost no pros to the SAPI/ceramic/hybrid plates other than slightly less weight, which personally you really never notice.
Yeah the weights not the issue. My main concern is with spalling
The Ar500 has a build up coating now that stops that.
Ceramics have a ton of issues, that make me wonder why anyone even uses it.
I think a lot of people like using ceramics because you see them get NIJ testing done a lot of the time
And weight
Which personally isn’t an issue for me. Maybe If your a high speed and wearing kit all the time
Well AR500 is one of the most tested products on the market. Mainly the reason why most people go ceramic, especially the Military is price.
The difference in weight between the steel and ceramic is less than 3lbs per plate.
Yeah AR500 is decently priced for the protection it provides
They also have some good cheap deals. Like their Lvl III plates you can get for as low as $65 per plate.
That’s super cheap
Yeah and they are rated up to 7.62x39. You can bouch Ak rounds off those things all day long.

The major issue I have with ceramic is that you never know if the plate you are wearing has been compromised or not.
Yeah micro fractures are a thing
