s-shove it up your ass

2018-12-02 06:20:47 UTC  

Extended mag for double barrels.

2018-12-02 06:20:53 UTC  

Fuck now I want to see it being fired

2018-12-02 06:20:59 UTC  

also, no face hardened thin steel would not work well

2018-12-02 06:21:07 UTC  

That's the thing though

2018-12-02 06:21:12 UTC  

the steel itself may shatter and become frag

2018-12-02 06:21:16 UTC  

face hardened steel is a tradeoff armor

2018-12-02 06:21:18 UTC  

it's not hard in the center

2018-12-02 06:21:34 UTC  

it renders anything below its rated level completely irrelevant

2018-12-02 06:21:38 UTC  

it will deform when hit

2018-12-02 06:21:48 UTC  

Not face hardened plates

2018-12-02 06:21:51 UTC  

They shatter

2018-12-02 06:21:57 UTC  

yes

2018-12-02 06:22:13 UTC  

AR500 is face hardened

2018-12-02 06:22:17 UTC  

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

2018-12-02 06:22:38 UTC  

AR500 is also just abrasion resistant steel tbf

2018-12-02 06:22:38 UTC  

if you think people are gonna be shooting at you from distance, wear plates

2018-12-02 06:22:50 UTC  

in that case, whats plan b

2018-12-02 06:23:11 UTC  

if you're gonna be cqb with handguns you are gonna want soft armor with better coverage

2018-12-02 06:23:15 UTC  

carbon impreganted face hardened plates historically worked wonders against low caiber threats

2018-12-02 06:23:29 UTC  

The problem is when they're hit by something over their rated impact limit

2018-12-02 06:23:39 UTC  

For instance, getting hit by a rifle when it's rated for pistols

2018-12-02 06:24:38 UTC  

I mean think about it like this, the greatest threat to your health is getting shot in the head

2018-12-02 06:24:42 UTC  

Basically the whole point of face-hardening is to cause smaller shells to shatter instead of spall.

2018-12-02 06:24:49 UTC  

but ain't nobody wearing kevlar ballistic helmets

2018-12-02 06:25:00 UTC  

because they fuckign suck to wear

2018-12-02 06:25:19 UTC  

They're heavy as balls, yeah

2018-12-02 06:25:23 UTC  

only people who wear that shit are military who are forced to

2018-12-02 06:25:35 UTC  

and they seriously decrease your perception and mobility

2018-12-02 06:26:05 UTC  

nice to have when stuff is flying through the air

2018-12-02 06:26:11 UTC  

^

2018-12-02 06:26:28 UTC  

but what if you lose a shot because you couldn't turn your head fast enough

2018-12-02 06:26:31 UTC  

first thing I see people want for in riots is head protection

2018-12-02 06:26:43 UTC  

^

2018-12-02 06:26:47 UTC  

or someone sneaks up on you and engages you hand to hand because you didn't see them

2018-12-02 06:26:49 UTC  

so desperate they've taped bread to their noggins

2018-12-02 06:26:52 UTC  

Then again, riot control is a whoooooole other ballgame

2018-12-02 06:27:08 UTC  

but that's because in riots people are throwing shit at you

2018-12-02 06:27:10 UTC  

Head protection is absolutely key

2018-12-02 06:27:23 UTC  

yea, i wouldnt want one in CQC

2018-12-02 06:27:27 UTC  

Even light impact resistant stuff is better than nothing
