Flat or curved......flat.........or curved...........

[BR549]

Deadline?

[simmoag]

I will take 4 of the item #11 AR500-ASC-CV-BU (10x12 curved Linex build up plates). Do y'all have any of those Gerber knives?

[BR549]

PM me


:-)

[BR549]

And I think you meant 6...2 for me...right?

[Dale Gribble]

I will take 4 of the item #11 AR500-ASC-CV-BU (10x12 curved Linex build up plates). Do y'all have any of those Gerber knives?

No, but I can get some Gerber baby food. Chicken or Turkey.
Question for Jafar and other plate knowledgeable folks, are shooter cut plates needed for the rear, or should the be non-shooter cut?

[BR549]

Great question.

[Dale Gribble]

Deadline?

Buy these, or someone will shoot you dead.


Oh, that's not what you mean?

I understand that curved are much more comfortable.

Deadline not set yet, we have a $ amount to hit of something like $800 worth of plate.

[BR549]

Do ifaks count toward the goal?

[simmoag]

LOL, no baby food for me. I hate I didn't get in on the knife group buy. In decision sucks!

[BR549]

I'll trade you mine for a plate.

[Dale Gribble]

Do ifaks count toward the goal?

I believe all products count.

[Jafar]

No, but I can get some Gerber baby food. Chicken or Turkey.
Question for Jafar and other plate knowledgeable folks, are shooter cut plates needed for the rear, or should the be non-shooter cut?

You can use any kind for the back, but I thought AR500 made rear-specific plates now.

[Dale Gribble]

I thought AR500 made rear-specific plates now.

Tactical underpants!

[Dale Gribble]

The 'back' armor the offer is the same stuff except they offer this:

http://www.ar500armor.com/ar500-armor-square-back-trauma-plate-10x12.html#.U8WMdPldUwo

[BR549]

So is the curved plate necessary for the rear or is flat just as comfortable?

[Dale Gribble]

So is the curved plate necessary for the rear or is flat just as comfortable?

Good question.(s)

[BR549]

Or for the front for that matter.....in theory "curved" sounds more comfy but the plate is 12x10 inches...

My torso is more like 18x24, so what is it curving around? I am thinking flat would be just as comfortable. Jafar, AB, what say you plate experts?

[Dale Gribble]

Without the curve, I can imagine that going prone would hurt like a mother.

[BR549]

I can't see how, no worse than the floor?

[Dale Gribble]

I can't see how, no worse than the floor?

I don't know. Seems like it would to me.

[Jafar]

Mine are curved, mine are comfortable. Is it a huge price difference between straight and curved? I just can't see a good reason. I would also think that curved would have a better energy dispersion like a bell. Let me call my ballistic unicorn and confirm.

[NJC]

Mine also are curved and comfortable. If you are probably just going to wear them on date night or at the range.. flat will be fine. If TSHTF, you will be happy to have them.

If price is the same ..curved... also shooter or swimmer cut.. if you do not, you will see why very quickly.

[BR549]

Shooter cut is a big must. Maybe curved for front flat for back to save cash. I'm cheap and poor.

[Dale Gribble]

I'll cut you a deal. I'll make up the price on the curved for the back if you let me shoot you wearing it..

Shoot me with what? I trust the plates. If you buy me a set, I'll let you shoot me in them.

[thedishdoc]

No, but I can get some Gerber baby food. Chicken or Turkey.
Question for Jafar and other plate knowledgeable folks, are shooter cut plates needed for the rear, or should the be non-shooter cut?I went with shooters cut curved front and back.

The only plates I've ever had were curved, so I really have no comparison. I've never had any complaints about mine so I would personally continue to use curved plates.

[Mikec2003]

just make the armor out of bowling pins, you'd be safe from Dale forever :D oh, you'd need a pin armor helmet too

[simmoag]

You're right. He'd probably miss the plate and hit me in the thigh.

[YankeeFingergasm]

Yeah....the thigh. I heard Dale's out to get all of us for the Alabama Crab Dangle group buy we did on his mamma.

That's a great link. Anyone who has been to the Combat Trauma class has learned the importance of wearing plates and avoiding the extremely high percentage of fatalities that come from damage to that part of the body.

The guy in the bottom pic is a Marine wearing an OTV. His plates aren't improper, it's an illusion made my the style of the carrier. His plates are exactly where the guy's are above him. Find the jugular notch and measure down to the top of the carrier on both; almost the same distance.

[Jafar]

Shooter cut is a big must. Maybe curved for front flat for back to save cash. I'm cheap and poor.

Then wait and save. Going cheap on plates is like buying a cheaper parachute. You just don't pinch pennies with some things.

[Dale Gribble]

I measured my nipples. I need the bigger plates.











Or smaller nipples.

[BR549]

Jafar, is curved known to be more protective than flat? Otherwise a flat back plate saves some cash for a wee bit of comfort and no protective advantages.

[BR549]

Nipple spread is a measurement I've never taken. This is gonna be interesting.

[Jafar]

Jafar, is curved known to be more protective than flat? Otherwise a flat back plate saves some cash for a wee bit of comfort and no protective advantages.

I can't prove this first hand, and I know some around these parts don't approve of my understanding of physics; but it would seem that a flat plate that receives rounds at a 90 degree angle would offer less protection that one with a slightly curved. I guess that's just my educated guess.

[0utlaw]

:aaaaargh:UNICORNS UNICORNS :aaaaargh:

[AB]

I know that bullets striking vehicles at an angle can deflect, and ones striking at 90 degrees do not. That's not even armored, so my bet is the physics would be the same.

[BR549]

I hear ya. Now what are the odds of a purely perpendicular round impact in a combat or range environment? One in a billion?

[BR549]

I'd love to see an ar500 plate with a buildup coat take a round at 45 degrees. Wonder if the coating would capture the deflection.

[Jafar]

Well, those are my opinions. Anything is better than nothing I guess.

[BR549]

10-4.

[Jafar]

10-4.

Seriously though, if you find some data on flat plates please post it. The last time that I know of flat plates being work in combat was Blackhawk Down.

[BR549]

I've been googling a little and can't find anything...yet.

[Bodo]

This is tricky. Any shots taken off of normal benefits from the projectile 'seeing' increased thickness of armor. Non-planar plates would offer better protection but you'd see significantly more ricochet potential. At least that's how I understand it.

[seadog]

Rino liner works pretty good .

[BR549]

I wonder how effective the ar500 basic coating performs compared to the "buildup"...

Awesome post, thanks for sharing!

[thedishdoc]

http://youtu.be/mt5hJORcbkQ

That 308 eked through after several other hitsWhen he shoots the 5.56 5 round string it looks like he shooting at the back curve of the plate. In other words he is shooting at the fucking plate backwards. Maybe that explains the spalling in the box. Look at the video at about 8.14 minutes. He puts the plate back in the box wrong side out! Plus ballistic bobs armor is worn too low as per AB's excellent post.

[BR549]

He said it was a flat plate, so not sure the side matters?

[thedishdoc]

He said it was a flat plate, so not sure the side matters?
It looks curved to me.

[BR549]

Possible that I'm confused.

[thedishdoc]

http://youtu.be/mt5hJORcbkQ

That 308 eked through after several other hits
At 2:45 into the video he states "You'll also notice that this plate has a slight curvature to it. This curvature makes wearing the plate more comfortable."

[BR549]

Ahhh.

[Dale Gribble]

The AR500 build up plate he shot was FLAT. He did not shoot the curved plate that was just painted.

[BR549]

Dale is right. I haven't been able to watch the vids since I posted them but that rings a bell.

You had problem with curved AR500 side plates?

I was using ceramic SAPI's. Heavy as shit and cumbersome. It might be a mind game but it feels like adding an extra 30 lbs. And I haven't seen any of the civilian brand carriers have cummerbunds that looks like they could handle side plates without wearing out and falling apart rapidly.

[Greg Kulbick]

Just don't get shot in the side. Problem solved.

[Tack Driver]

Just don't get shot in the side. Problem solved.

Nice cheap option.

[Dale Gribble]

Someone asked the question last night, what about something that isn't on my price list that they have on the website.

I don't know. Tell me what it is and I will contact them to find out a price. Could be that their dealer price list is not updated quickly as the website.

[Dale Gribble]

Ok, as of right now I have 2 orders. I need some more to make this work. If you are on the fence, pm me or something to give me an idea of your interest. If its a money thing (like I will have the money in a few weeks) talk to be about that too, because I think we are a month away from getting product, so it may be fine.

Jafar. I assume this is the same carrier:

Yeah, unfortunately the money is my hold-up, as much as I hate to admit it. I am also very very low on ammo and just starting out in a new all-commission job so to say things are tight would be an understatement.

Is there such a thing as crowd-funding for ammo and armor? Think kickstarter would frown on that campaign? lol

Yeah, probably the wrong crowd, unless you're brokering food, ammo, gold, silver, salt, etc., etc.

[BR549]

I could technically sell individual stocks but that is not the emphasis. The end-of-the-world crowd would never buy those. I can sell commodities also, but gold is about half of what it was when Glenn Beck told everybody to buy it.

This I can address accurately, as I deal with this stuff far more frequently than I would like.


Yes. By about 75% in the last couple of years.

I can't address plate carriers and that stuff (possibly why the price appears to have gone down?) but "raw" ar500 has gone through the roof.

Everyone has till then to get their orders in.

As of right now Simmo, Tackman, and Jafar are on my list for this buy.

[Tack Driver]

So who's making this order happen and who's getting beat the fuck up?

Some organs just aren't worth a couple hundred bucks I guess.

[Bodo]

Not ready in my preps for plates or carriers yet. If I had the shekels, I'd buy 2 sets.

[BR549]

Grumble grumble.

[Jafar]

Not ready in my preps for plates or carriers yet. If I had the shekels, I'd buy 2 sets.

Just remember, if you got shot 2 seconds into the collapse, you'll never get to eat all those MRE's.

[Bodo]

Ya, I know. I've been playing the same scenario in my head over and over.

[0utlaw]

Just remember, if you got shot 2 seconds into the collapse, you'll never get to eat all those MRE's.

And during that first winter you can't eat those plates. Oh to be independently wealthy I'd buy it ALL first.

[thedishdoc]

Some organs just aren't worth a couple hundred bucks I guess.You guys were late for the boat, I DBTS before this thread even started otherwise I'd be on board.

[Jafar]

And during that first winter you can't eat those plates. Oh to be independently wealthy I'd buy it ALL first.

I can live and eat worms if I have to, or die and let the worms eat me.

[Jafar]

Those would be some fucked up worms after eating you.

You're really good at Mario Paint. Let's play one day.

[Dale Gribble]

Just a few days left to get in.

If you aren't sure you want it, perhaps you should by a side plate for $27.60 and shoot it. Might make you a believer.

[Tack Driver]

$27.60 and shoot it.

If those are 6"x8", add me a pair of those homie.

[Dale Gribble]

If those are 6"x8", add me a pair of those homie.

That is the flat, 6x8 plate, no extra buildup. Extra buildup is $39.10, curved and extra build up is $50.60.

[thedishdoc]

Although I'm not in the yo mama club extra buildup seems ripe for a joke here.

[Jafar]

I'm gonna start a craigslist ad to hurry the fuck up and get some more buyers.

[Tack Driver]

I'm gonna start a craigslist ad to hurry the fuck up and get some more buyers.

Craigslist keyboard commandos should be much more reliable than this rabble.

[Dale Gribble]

I will take 4 of the item #11 AR500-ASC-CV-BU (10x12 curved Linex build up plates). Do y'all have any of those Gerber knives?

I have you on the list.

[Dale Gribble]

BTW, don't forget your AR500 hanger.

Or you could buy Oscar and display your plates in style! just saying...

This is what is listed as the Urban Go on the AR500 website. I'm looking for something light weight to start with. I consider this PC disposable, and I will use it to figure out want I really want.

Did you read the reviews? Is that shit supposed to be funny or is it all made up? It sounds like some shit from Don't Even Reply.

[BR549]

Buy it I. Multicam and sell it toe later when you decide what you really want.

[Dale Gribble]

I did. I also looked online. Seems to be fine from what I've read. Minimal, but fine.

[Jafar]

Did you find no humor in the reviews though? Desert crime fighter and windy mountains of Afghanistan?

[Tack Driver]

I like that Dale. I'm starting to think I went a little too heavy on mine. I got the EXO, which is on the other end of the Condor line.

[Dale Gribble]

I thought the Navy Seal was the best.

But my question is, what's wrong with it? If it holds the plates in place and doesn't cause me huge amounts of pain, its doing its job, right?

[Dale Gribble]

BTW, my other thought was I can throw my FLC over this. Or I can wear this without anything tactical on it, under a jacket and not look like a airsoft wannabe.

[Jafar]

I'm not saying anything is wrong with it, the reviews just made me laugh.

The world is FILLED with trolls.

[BR549]

Dale did you get my more recent PM?

[thedishdoc]

First Spear, just saying.

[Dale Gribble]

ALL BUYERS HAVE A PM TO REPLY TO. IF YOU DIDN'T GET A PM I DON'T HAVE YOU AS A BUYER. RECTIFY THAT SHIT RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Geeze. Now I know how Ike feels.

[BR549]

Come on, boys.

[Greg Kulbick]

The buckles on that Condor rig look to be in almost the perfect positions to prevent you from shouldering your rifle well.

[Tack Driver]

Is my armor in yet?

[Dale Gribble]

The order is in. On the website they show a production lead of up to 2 weeks. I have asked for a real ETA, but I have no idea if I will get one or not.

Stay tuned for updates.

[Jafar]

Waiting on the vendor, are we?


Seriously, when you need the money boss man?

[Dale Gribble]

[Dale Gribble]

At this point somewhere between 2 and 5 weeks. Waiting on an ETA from... The vendor.

[Tack Driver]

from... The vendor.

Ahh, those mythical savages.

[Dale Gribble]

AR500 order hit our credit card, and I got an email saying it was being packed..

Hmm, maybe less than 2 weeks?

Although my guess is the shipping method (due to the weight) is going to be via UPS or Fedex Ground.

[Tack Driver]

AR500 order hit our credit card, and I got an email saying it was being packed..


Holy smokes.

[Danman]

I've seen tests where they'll stop 30-06AP at range, but I'm willing to bet ^^ will defeat it.

[Dale Gribble]

Ike. I need some Bear Burgers. Gotta burn some armor!

[Jafar]

Dale's shit is what they put in Dragon's Breath rounds. Don't fuck with it.

[Tack Driver]

Should I swing by to pick them up tonight?

[Tack Driver]

Standby. Hold tight. I'll be right there.

It's a dentist office too, so they got N2O and shit we can hit up while we're in there.

[Jafar]

Let's get loaded, paint dinosaurs on the wall, and try these plates out.

Only if I can wear that scarecrow mask from Batman.

[Jafar]

I'll be Bane with the laughing gas mask, you'll be the Scarecrow, and Oscar can drive us to Del Taco.

[Jmoorewar]

Oscar doesn't need sleep. He did time in some Russian deprivation experiments.

I mean, I like to set a high bar.

[Bodo]

It's a pleasure being able to learn at the feet of master forum warriors like these. I just hope that my skills at the internet will improve by learning from the likes of these men.

[thedishdoc]

I mean, I like to set a high bar.How will Tack get a drink?

[Jafar]

How will Tack get a drink?

I snorted.

[Danman]

[Jafar]

So the stuff is really in? Gah, this money was burning a hole in my pocket. I almost bought 17 Atlanta Braves hats, a pez dispenser, and a cheap Jai Alai set just because I could.

[BR549]

lol

Back to setting up appointments. Dan, I moved offices so now rather than being a 30 second walk from you I'm a 1 minute drive.

[Jafar]

When setting up my appointment, please keep in mind the amount of time it will take you to drive to Georgia. Thanks you.
