s-shove it up your ass
Extended mag for double barrels.
Fuck now I want to see it being fired
also, no face hardened thin steel would not work well
That's the thing though
the steel itself may shatter and become frag
face hardened steel is a tradeoff armor
it's not hard in the center
it renders anything below its rated level completely irrelevant
it will deform when hit
Not face hardened plates
They shatter
yes
AR500 is face hardened
like I said, the best thing to do is to wear whatever the minimum level of armor is for the threat that you are anticipating
AR500 is also just abrasion resistant steel tbf
if you think people are gonna be shooting at you from distance, wear plates
in that case, whats plan b
if you're gonna be cqb with handguns you are gonna want soft armor with better coverage
carbon impreganted face hardened plates historically worked wonders against low caiber threats
For instance, getting hit by a rifle when it's rated for pistols
I mean think about it like this, the greatest threat to your health is getting shot in the head
Basically the whole point of face-hardening is to cause smaller shells to shatter instead of spall.
but ain't nobody wearing kevlar ballistic helmets
because they fuckign suck to wear
They're heavy as balls, yeah
only people who wear that shit are military who are forced to
and they seriously decrease your perception and mobility
nice to have when stuff is flying through the air
^
but what if you lose a shot because you couldn't turn your head fast enough
first thing I see people want for in riots is head protection
^
or someone sneaks up on you and engages you hand to hand because you didn't see them
so desperate they've taped bread to their noggins
Then again, riot control is a whoooooole other ballgame
but that's because in riots people are throwing shit at you
Head protection is absolutely key
yea, i wouldnt want one in CQC
Even light impact resistant stuff is better than nothing
