If you co-workers are as gullible as we are, it will apparently work.Quote:

So no need to hurry guys. Your looking at a month before you get your plates.
Wait.. Y'all did a group buy on plates ??? Which ones did you guys go with ?????
We're waiting on the vendor.....or so I've heard :nope:
OK.. then you have time to answer my question....
I think dale put feelers out to a couple.
And you guys chose AR500 ?? If so have you ever worn armor (hard or soft) for more than a couple of minutes. Have you ever tried to run, move or perform tasks in it ?
I agree with the steel, which is what I have as the ceramic is too fragile and I know depts who issue it and then do not perform required follow up X-Rays.
However the AR500 rigs I have seen are MUCH heavier than mine and I went with AP46100D with Linex for spall protection. Tested at Aberdeen proving grounds and very interesting open source US govt PDF on same.
Dont get me wrong AR500 will probably work, but the weight will kill you.
