no i mean like

2019-12-17 06:28:56 UTC  

yes

2019-12-17 06:29:11 UTC  

Youre telling me that plate can take all 36 of those rounds?

2019-12-17 06:29:32 UTC  

the tl;dr is the NIJ test is a single round of 30-06, tested in a couple different ways on different plates

2019-12-17 06:29:44 UTC  

w2c

2019-12-17 06:29:59 UTC  

Hesco just tests their plates separately and tells you how many rounds of a given caliber it takes to compromise the plate

2019-12-17 06:31:30 UTC  

normally you take self-certified plate tests with a grain of salt, but the plate has already passed the NIJ test so you have nothing to lose by believing hesco's in-house ratings

2019-12-17 06:31:36 UTC  

no

2019-12-17 06:31:40 UTC  

it's "or"

2019-12-17 06:31:43 UTC  

not "and"

2019-12-17 06:31:52 UTC  

oh ok

2019-12-17 06:32:12 UTC  

that's what they're rated to

2019-12-17 06:32:16 UTC  

it could probably take more

2019-12-17 06:32:43 UTC  

i wonder if hesco follows the NIJ back face deformation criteria for that test. i would assume so

2019-12-17 06:33:06 UTC  

typically composite plates will go a lot further than 6 rounds if you dont count BFD

2019-12-17 06:33:08 UTC  

I mean bfd or not if you get hit 6 times in a row im sure youre gonna have some internal bleeding

2019-12-17 06:33:27 UTC  

Or a wicked mad bruise

2019-12-17 06:34:43 UTC  

depends on the round

2019-12-17 06:35:12 UTC  

6 rounds of 30.06

2019-12-17 06:35:14 UTC  

?

2019-12-17 06:35:18 UTC  

You'd have to be pretty close range for even a skilled operator to make 6 quick hits to your torso

2019-12-17 06:35:28 UTC  

I mean obviously the smaller rounds

2019-12-17 06:35:30 UTC  

I think the bigger concern would be them just closing the distance and putting one in your head at that point

2019-12-17 06:35:36 UTC  

its not even 30 06

2019-12-17 06:35:39 UTC  

its 30 06 AP

2019-12-17 06:35:42 UTC  

which fucking noone has

2019-12-17 06:35:49 UTC  

:^)

2019-12-17 06:35:49 UTC  

>he doesnt have any M2AP

2019-12-17 06:35:50 UTC  

oh really?

2019-12-17 06:35:54 UTC  

Seriously though

2019-12-17 06:36:02 UTC  

It's probably the most widely available AP round

2019-12-17 06:36:19 UTC  

Well the 3810 is rated for 3006 jsp

2019-12-17 06:36:26 UTC  

Anybody that does go out of their way to buy AP is probably going to buy M2AP

2019-12-17 06:36:35 UTC  

because it's relatively affordable and reks a lot of armor

2019-12-17 06:36:48 UTC  

M2ap is pretty dated tho

2019-12-17 06:36:59 UTC  

M993 and m995 is scary

2019-12-17 06:37:02 UTC  

its still the standard by which plates are tested

2019-12-17 06:39:08 UTC  

most people don't buy AP

2019-12-17 06:40:48 UTC  

i know a lot of guys who reload it into 308

2019-12-17 06:41:06 UTC  

dont know many people who have a serious 30-06 gun besides a garand though

2019-12-17 06:41:20 UTC  

Damnit im torn between the u210 and the 3810
