but the vests that they're worried AP pistol ammo can penetrate, can all be slotted by any rifle
its penny wise and pound foolish
But thats why hard plates on beat cops exist too 🤔
but then why ban the pistol ammo
or their focus on having officers have shit in their cars
cause they can
AP handgun rounds would probably easily be stopped by level 3 plates.
and they haven't bothered to update shit
the real answer is because nobody actually shoots anyone with a rifle in this country
The legislation against the pistol ammo happened long before big advancements in armor technology. Back in the day cops had soft armor only basically.
It only makes sense if you see it as an incremental infringement
Am I reading this right? 3810 can stop 6 of the first 5 rounds and then 3 rounds each of the last two or thats how many rounds it takes for penetration for that specific round?
If you examine it at face value it seems absurd
it's how many they can take
@|||ST yes
thats how it works
its or, not and
don't listen to anyone else
listen to me
it helps for the plate to build up resistance with the smaller rounds
Pistols kill far more than any other weapon. Cops didn't used to have ready access to lightweight high level armor. AP handgun rounds could penetrate their soft panels. Banned. It's still an infringement, but the argument for officer safety is pretty strong.
go read the testing criteria
*ahem*
Tldr that for me
tf kind of question is that
😎
no i mean like
yes
Youre telling me that plate can take all 36 of those rounds?
the tl;dr is the NIJ test is a single round of 30-06, tested in a couple different ways on different plates
w2c
Hesco just tests their plates separately and tells you how many rounds of a given caliber it takes to compromise the plate
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
no
it's "or"
