There are anons in this board right now that think having most of your body exposed to high speed lead infections is a-ok. If you guys wanted to get mowed down so hard why don't you just operate naked? Why not just join a Chinese infantry unit if you disregard your own life so much?

>>if you need to take multiple shots you're doing something wrong
In what context? If we’re talking about hunting, that’s absolutely correct.

Nigga not everyone is an African or mexican merc, why the fuck would I need an IBA

What the fuck is your problem OP? Why are you such a fucking faggot?

imagine being such a larpy faggot you actually wasted money on body armor

>plate armor will just slow you down
This used to be an actual problem with Cold War era Russian plates. The question eventually came down to, would you rather be able to run, duck, dive, and crawl, or be able to get hit because you couldn't do the former. Soldiers opted to forgo armor for maneuver.

The rest of OP's post was like the brass in the early days of Iraq, where they required the soldiers to be uparmored so much that they couldn't move and suffered from heat stroke in the sandbox.

>>just wear armor on your chest and forget about your legs, arms, abdomen, and face. It's not like you need them for combat anyways.

I see you've never worn armor for any period of time

Reminder if you're not this guy you'll never make it through the One Year War.

Pathetic unarmored boots. I'd snipe his feet off

In war, the most important factor in getting hit was time spent in the open. For most SWAT you don't need to run for long so they have on a lot more. Most cives need gear for what? You need to look at what you are doing and go from there. You put on lots of armur and go play paintball and see how hard it is to move in.

The gravitational pull of the absolute unit would rip the bullets trajectory right into his torso

While I can see the thinking behind a lone civilian going for lots of armor (even then it’s stupid except in very specific situations). The military has not only logistical support and resources of medical and trauma care but your average soldier will not be bumbling around by himself, he’s going to be with others.
If you’re just a regular person, caught up in shtf or some shit, your biggest asset is your ability to get the fuck out of situations, not engage in solo room clearing or a firefight against a group of armed people.

decent level III+ armor with a serviceable plate carrier is like 250 these days. No reason to not have one.

steel-toed CSA certified bitch.

its stupid and makes you look like a nerd

Reality check: If S ever does HTF, you’re not going to operate operationally. Your task will be only to keep yourself and the people around you alive until order is restored. You aren’t going to be raiding anything or going on any missions. You’ll be doing great if you end up just making it through. Your equipment purchasing decisions should be based on this reality.

>>if you need to take multiple shots you're doing something wrong
Completely reasonable if we're talking about self defense in the streets. Or, as the other user mentioned, completely reasonable when talking about hunting.

Complete fuddery if we're talking about home/property defense and military settings though.

A nigger will walk up on you from no where and dump half his Problem Solva into you over your wallet, what the fuck time do you think you're living in? Gun fights aren't planned and agreed upon before they're carried out. You can be in a situation where you need to take multiple shots without even thinking about getting into a situation where you need to take multiple shots.

Where do you buy your armor? AR500 is like half a grand for a level III chest rig

>what is center mass
>what are vital organs
You're retarded

Underrated

Can't wait for level 2a concealed armor to get a little better so i can EDC some comfortably and without looking completely autistic.
No it isnt.

you didnt read the op

He clearly did tho.
People are going to shoot you in the chest. That's the dominant strategy, even with a plate carrier.

>What is hog and waterfowl hunting?

it's easier to aim center mass than it is to aim for limbs or the head you imbecile. If you're going to be shot, your most-likely to be shot in the chest.

Imagine getting shot in the chest with real fuckin' nato and not living

$250 on something never used is the definition of wasted money

m8 even if you hit someone in the extremities you need to hit the bone or he's probably going to ADRENALINE DUMP his way through that and use his arm still without even realizing a bullet zipped through his bicep meat

so lets see we aim for the arms or legs for a smol chance of severely injuring and bleeding out my target while he remains a threat the whole time, or we aim for the chest and hope he's not wearing armor, because getting shot in the chest while wearing soft armor is probably just as momentarily debilitating as shooting someone in the fucking leg, and you have Z E R O chance of encountering hard armor in real life unless SWAT blows open your door and 12 hard armored bois plow your asshole

OP the real talk is why don't we protect our pelvis more ? The pelvic girdle is an AWFUL place to get shot and it's right below 'center mass'

>not just wearing a vest instead of a shirt

In the exact scenario you poised body armor would be an excellent addition. Bunkering down, appearing to everyone as though you will not be an easily fucked with target.

>What is 50 BMG and 8 gauge

Also why you should have at least a half basement with a fireproof safe room.

Context of hunting is required too. Pheasant, yeah. The most dangerous game, nah

Never buy insurance.
