I would wear the shit out of that.

That's really cool! Do you know what kind of carrier would be used to use those as shin/forearm protectors?

Duct tape

Patriot Performance Materials (the company that produced the plates) is long gone, so I'll probably make my own pouches for them.

It's literally imported western gear mixed with domestic pieces.

Some suits are, others are purely local production.

I've always wondered why they don't make ballistic plates in the shape of buzabands or those greeves. The easternish types of armor that started as an elbow or knee cup and was one solid piece down to the wrist or ankle.

"Worn by 23-year-old French calvary rider François-Antoine Fauveau. The British cannonball tore through him on June 18, 1815 at Waterloo. There is a family legend that when his call-up papers arrived, François-Antoine was on the point of getting married, so his brother joined up, and died, in his place"

from reddit so pinch of salt and all ye

How much are the plates?

We've learned that mobility trumps armor. There's already a small chance of you being hit by actual bullets. Armor is to protect from fragmentation and protecting the vitals is good enough.

This is US army prototype armor made during ww1. Designed by a medieval historian, deemed too heavy, helmet looked too similar to the Germans and other allies were making fun of soldiers that wore it.

Does the fight occur in and around a bank, or a prospect? This is important.

Prospector but only if Tom Waits. If he wanders off, Teller wins

That movie

I just build stuff. Should stop pistol rounds. Need ceramic for rifle rounds

It's been a bit of a back and forth hasn't it? Especially with tanks, we bulked up but we're at a point where it doesn't matter anymore so mobility is key.
I feel like armour could make a comeback, but not in personal protection, like going autistic tier of protecting shit, like underground and everything.

Cringe.

The patch says "Polis", it's a Swedish cop.

I like the medieval aesthetic that a lot of WW1 era armor had

Who cares about mobility when you're impervious to small arms.
>dodge builds will disagree

It's possible that with the inevitable drone swarm, people will be wearing thick helmets to protect against being instantly beaned by miniature shaped charges

god fucking damnit that movie is great

They're splatter masks for tankers. When early tanks took fire it could knock little chips of metal and paint off the inside of the tank. They didn't have high strength polymer safety glasses in WW1.
