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
Is that impacts in the same location?
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
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"
not "and"
oh ok
that's what they're rated to
it could probably take more
i wonder if hesco follows the NIJ back face deformation criteria for that test. i would assume so
typically composite plates will go a lot further than 6 rounds if you dont count BFD
I mean bfd or not if you get hit 6 times in a row im sure youre gonna have some internal bleeding
Or a wicked mad bruise
depends on the round
6 rounds of 30.06
?
You'd have to be pretty close range for even a skilled operator to make 6 quick hits to your torso
I mean obviously the smaller rounds
