I take it that the bowels are okay to not protect as much as the soldiers aren't as likely to die from their wounds - just shit in a bag for the rest of their lives?
Mason Perry
It's a trade-off, a heavier plate that could provide lower coverage would limit mobility and range of motion.
Army grunts are tired of being trapped in the larger IOTV, so this carrier was made shorter with critical plate coverage.
Noah Foster
Fuck armor.

protection where it counts.

Apparently a replacement is already underway seeing as most units issued with Virtus have chinned it off massively.
Zachary Perry
I honestly wish GI's would wear the fucking shoulder pads. They look fucking cool. I hate that they get all this awesome shit and literally throw it in a corner for their whole deployment. Embrace the stormtrooper/ space marine aesthetic already you niggers.

I hate this 'enclosed mandible 360 degree HUD smart helmet' meme so damn much.
However, it is useful to identify the people who have never had to wear a modern combat helmet for an extended period of time
James Martin
a little sweat hurts more soldiers than bullets
Aaron Howard
Ok now go run a couple miles in that or walk 20 miles with a pack and weapon with a sweater on in 100 degree weather
Jaxson Wilson
So why not a multi plate solution? One lower and one upper section? Even if its loosely held by a few straps I'm sure that they'd appreciate the ability to resist the enemy's efforts to just aim a little lower.
I understand that good cover will generally account for protecting that section of the body but it just seems half assed. Medieval people figured this shit out a long time ago.
Austin Turner
Medieval people also had ways of distributing the weight of their armor across the whole body
Instead nowadays, soldiers wear all the weight on their shoulders, spine and knees
Leo Russell
They're already about to start rolling out Virtus Mk3.
Most units only use the plate carrier and helmet.
Some still use the shit webbing but no one uses the spine system, you know, the main selling point of the system.
Jaxon Roberts
A loose plate held by some straps would swing around, it'd suck to wear for extended periods.
There's a big difference between mounted knights of antiquity and modern dismounted troops
Gabriel Sanders
It's like fucking in the living room with the blinds open or mowing your neighbors lawn without asking. You gotta make sure everyone knows who's boss. It's like you've never been to Texas.
Carson Roberts
Is the spine system just not functional at all? It'd sure be nice to address the "modern people don't have ways to distribute weight across their body unlike ancient peasants lmao".
Nicholas Kelly
It functions, to an extent. It requires constant adjustment, for example if you're dropping rucks and going to assault order, you need to adjust it. And holy fuck trying to go prone with it on, it's basically impossible.

That's what all modern body armor systems look like, user.
Luis Gonzalez
Yeah, and sacrificing bowel coverage for mobility is fucking retarded, but whatever, I'm not the one who's gonna be shitting in a colostomy bag for the rest of my life.
Oliver Morgan
But you forget that looking cool is half the battle. The other half is panic.
Jackson Watson
Plates are designed to increase survivability of a gunshot wound to vital areas, not make you into a walking bullet sponge like Call of Duty
Jonathan Allen
That's why its better to have a plate, than no plate. I'm glad you agreed with me on this, fren. :P
Jeremiah Hill
>vital areas
Dang, I sure wished I took a gut shot to die in 10 minutes rather than a heart shot to die in 10 seconds.

unironically looks more useful than that big chin shit.

Well I guess you missed the idea of if it takes longer to die you have a higher chance of receiving life saving medical attention.

Let's abandon protection against fragmentation and shrapnel for a simple chest-plate system :DD What could possibly go wrong. After all, platoon sized light infantry operations are the future of combat :D
>The likelihood that women will soon be allowed to serve alongside men in close combat roles is another reason to address the issue surrounding weight.
>But among other complaints, soldiers say its webbing - where ammunition and kit is stored - has been snapping
>But soldiers have said it gives limited space for extra equipment - such as radios and medical supplies - and that if soldiers go to ground with it they find it hard to get back up - "Just about room for a Mars bar and biscuits"
:D

Guys only wear that shit if they have to. It's adds weight to your gear, adds protection you don't need most of the time and limits your mobility.
Carson Mitchell
That shit is only useful in a static position such as a guard tower or gun turret. You wouldn't last 15 minutes in 90% humidity in a jungle at a snails pace.
Jace Rogers
what a sharp little tool you are.
Adam Baker
I guess we don't have an entire infantry division stationed in Hawaii that uses similar equipment or anything.
Tyler Garcia
Lol
Ground infantry won't be worrying too much about pack muling equipment in a ruck sack as much once the military perfect these mother fuckers in a few years.

Do not try to shove that same model morakniv scabbard through a standard molle loop it will go in but be irremovable if you didn't cut the little catch on the sheath first.
t. retard who just did that and had to cut a molle loop.
Gavin Gray
>muh aesthetics
shoulder pads aren't really that useful in a practical sense. there's no point wasting resources and weighing your guys down purely because it looks cool
Alexander Long
The shoulders are two big holes in the sides of a plate carrier. They're only a waste if you are 100% confident your guys will never get shot from the flanks.
Evan Bailey
>Medieval armor wasn't made to stop bullets
Sure it was. Medieval bullets just didn't go as fast as modern ones.
Liam Martin
Why are cock and ball protectors so uncommon? I think most soldiers would literally rather die than lose the family jewels. I mean, fuck, even if you're some high speed op8r wearing a plate that's 3 sizes too small and a backwards ball cap, I would think you would at least want -something- protecting your cock, especially since your biggest threat is an explosion coming from below.
Austin Sullivan
If only you knew how to sew you could fix it in 20 second.
Kayden Nelson
even in escape from tarkov this helmet and chops are overpriced and may only save you from 9x18 or 9x19 hollowpoint
