Morning kings
@Deadbeat Radio listening to your podcast for the first time. The latest one with bard
Im so excited for my armor to come in
Phone books and duct tape? Lol
Freakin 8-12 week shipping tho :/
Its SLIGHTLY better
Plate carrier plus 2 level III plates for $99
All i can afford rn lol
Got steel plates and they have held up to everything short of a 338 Winchester magnum. Lv3 plates traded a single shot 12ga for a set. Been shooting the side plates, they tank green tip and 308 fmj all day long
So good purchase?
I suppose. Spall is a concern.
Got a flak vest from the 70s im thinking of canniballizing the material
Armor is better than no armor
And using it as spall protection*
Yeah you aint wrong
It has spall coating
But i know thay isnt fool proof
I mean at Richmond I was rocking ghetto rigged 3/8s steel plates, torch cut to E/SAPI style, and truckbed limer as anti spall
Im just poor as fuck and refuse to spend 1k on a great setup
Clocked in at 12lbs a plate lmao
Truckbed liner
Oof
Ooof
So you can see where the spall went
While it wasted your arteries
The chainmail i used in Renaissance stuff was about 35 pounds
I dont think the carrier i got has a pouch for side plates :(
It was just a basic carrier and 2 plates but its hard to beat professionally made armor for 100$
I mean I'm glad I didnt need to do a field test with it. But I'll take a chance of spall than a round tearing through me. But I am buying hoplite lvl 4 cerams soon
Yeah man id like some lv4 plates but im just cheap
Gonna try to score some esapi plates near me
It be like that. Just improve over time king
JUsT aS gOOd
Jk jk
I live right next to an army post so it should be easy
Im the same way, its all i could afford rn
Got my ACH for 60 out here
I mean I jumped at the other ar500 deal around christmas, so I'm one to talk
Hell yeah. All I need is nods
