I thought most cops do wear body armor, usually high mobility armor though
Michael Turner

Why isn't every student backpack fitted with a bullet proof plate?

Level 3 is easy
So easy they’re now making it out of plastic

So easy you can make it at home from welding blankets with no tools whatsoever

Why isnt every student fitted with a musket? As the founders intended....

How would this level III plate in a level II or IIIA vest with plate inserts? Would it bolster it to Level IV or just make it more resistant to multiple strikes? I'm still kind of confused on the effects of "stacking" plates with vests because some of the vests are advertised as being level IV with plates and level II or IIIA without.

If you put it on top of, say, a steel plate, then it would help a lot more by catching particulates ("spall").

Interesting thought here - the average male has a body surface area of 1.9 m^2, or 2945 square inches. Those plates are 3.3 lbs for a 10"x12" shooters cuts, so figure ~ 100 square inches to account for the corners. Thus you could cover more than half of a man's body, (1500 in^2) in equivalent plates and keep the weight under 50 pounds. Modern knight's armour when?

Okay...now add all the other equipment weight on top of that.

Should stop everything except 10mm hot load.
Now just need some ceramic tiles, fiberglass mats and leather harness.

I thought about making this a long time ago, but the idea of getting shot and having fiberglass particles blow up all over you and getting in your eyes scares me. I hate fiberglass. Hell even just handling that thing just below my face would be scary. dropping it and knocking it around might loosen up strands of fiberglass and blind me.

One fud with a .30-06 will end you

HMMMMMM.

You don't need all that other equipment once you're immune to gunfire. All you need is a sword and the balls to use it.

Mason Hughes
Depends on if he has level IV armor or not
Nolan Garcia
Thanks man, I've been looking for some cheap armor to do tests on
Austin Edwards
Basically the setup is as strong as the best armor present at impact with the caveat that sometimes if a bullet that punches through the plate has lost enough velocity and/or deformed sufficiently the kevelar(or other weaker armor) may catch the bullet

Why would anyone spend that much on lvl 3 when 4 is priced the same?
Jason Allen
weight.

bureaucracy.... NIJ Ratings...probably expensive to get certified. Insurance for the company selling it...manufacturing...especially in America. It adds up. I saw this company TPG Black at a gun show... thought it was typical gun show trash but I saw some cops using it on IG. Theyre probably paid shills... its reasonably priced 3lb level 4+ ceramic plates though.
