It keeps the fragments of the jacket from ripping out your jugular.

Yes

If you don't get it, you still die when they shoot you often times.

I gather ....you could make something to go around your neck and allow for the shrapnel to Ricochet off your face gear.

Or just ricochet off the rim too

The build up is so cheap relatively it isn't worth trying to figure a way around it.

Ik, it's just my brain is hardwired to look for ways around these types of things

I’m going to laugh at the poor sob that’s wearing level 4 and I place a 4000ftlb round in their chest.

30mm Vulcan?

I still need trauma pads.

Good luck stopping that without a barricade.

Sleep time ✌️

Night

@Creedmoor 225 eldm out of a 300 winmag. Nasty fucks about 4000ftlb at 2950.

Nice

I'll have to look at AP loads for my 7mm rem mag

Resize Russian 7.62x54r work great. You can size the bullet to 7mm/284 and make a long high bc ap bullet.

@booglooman92 {OH} That's a good deal for sure, and I hope you can get them. If not, I have a spare set of plates and kevlar from a vest I cut to fit into a PC. @O/K/ie Voluntaryist, putting a notebook in your PC in front of the plate should catch spalling

A notebook isnt going to help much with spall. I mean in theory it will but actuality its gonna shred it with little to no effect

Hm. I've been recommended that but never put it to test, you could very well be right. I think I'm gonna look on the youtubes to see if it's been tried

I mean you can put the steel plate in a Kevlar bag but that method was replaced after the better coatings were made

If you really want you could put the Kevlar bag around your build up coat steel plate

I have an old flak jacket I plan to cannibalize in the next week and install in my plate carrier.

These are the steel plates I have. There's a coating on them, but it's a base coat

Some armor is better than nothing look into getting something to catch that spalling tho or sell it and upgrade

As a last resort you could get a couple cans of pickup spray on bed liner from an auto parts store and build it up yourself. Like I said though, last resort.

Duct tape wrap the plates

I have battle steel ceramics. Those steel plates are backups

Global ordinance has 200 round packs of 223 69gr Sierra matchking HPBT buy one get one free brings a nice round down to about 47 cents if anyone’s been looking

Ouch my asshole.

Ouch

I gotta upgrade my rifle next. Running a PSA pistol 10.5" with .223 with Noveske muzzle break, but yea.... need to get a BCM or something

You think that's bad?

That's what I'm doing today.

Ouch: Im want one last rifle done and I’m depending on the world not end to get it back lmao 😂

lol

I got a glock, and my PSA ar "pistol"...then will do utnil I can upgrade rifle. Then need accompanying gear. 😦

I think my ATI .300 BLK just got in today. I'll have to wait to get it until tomorrow however

The fun part will be trying to find ammunition for the thing

@LickMiNoodle get the dies and some pills and cfe blkout powder-1lb does 300 rounds giver or take, either 223 or 300blk our brass and fed gm205 primers. It a list for sure but we can slap 300 round together in a few hours.
