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

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.Quote:

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.
Rino liner works pretty good .
I wonder how effective the ar500 basic coating performs compared to the "buildup"...

That 308 eked through after several other hits
Single coat spalling

I think I was just convinced to go for the buildup.
Awesome post, thanks for sharing!Quote:

Plus ballistic bobs armor is worn too low as per AB's excellent post.Quote:

It looks curved to me.Quote:

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."Quote:

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

Let me know if you find some side plates that are worth a shit. I've never had good luck with them.Quote:

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.
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.
Will a group buy work for items that are not plates? Those med kits aren't too bad.Quote:

Better make it before dove season. You'll need the Rosetta Stone to understand that #7 braille. The original, literal Wing Dings.Quote:

You might want to send sizing questions to them. I'll be glad to,but since its one size fits most I don't know what detail they provide.
Just get him the "daily ham biscuit eating S. GA boy" size.Quote:

I do believe it is. AR500 says that they are sized M-XXL. But I'll search for it.Quote:

That is correct. We do add and subtract items that dealers on the rare occasion that we do not have enough in stock that we can offer them to all of our dealers.
If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you,
You might as well have walked in on Christmas Eve and take a big fat stinky under the tree and fed my puppy rat poison.Quote:
