    BTW, reading the instructions for ordering the carrier I saw this..

    Measure your chest around the widest part (usually at nipple height)

    So what do you measure?

    Never mind. No homo.

    Why don't we do a group buy of ceramic plates? Seems like steel is dangerous with the spalling that I have seem on Youtube videos. The weight of them seems to be significantly more than ceramic. Does anyone have any input on this other than watching YouTube videos?

    I am ready for incoming fire....

    Simmoag.

    Anti Spall test of Line-x Paxcon. I think Spall/Fragmentation has been delt with well.

    BTW, this will not be a typical group buy. Whichever vendor we choose ( http://www.ar500armor.com/ or http://www.thetargetman.com/) you will be able to select anything they have.

    We will need to get a minimum order, and we should be lower than their online prices, even with tax, but don't expect it to be 20%.

    If we go with thetargetman you can get Ceramic, UHMWPE or AR500 steel, as well as targets and stands.

    If we go with AR500 armor, they have med kits and MRE's and lots of other stuff.

    I might be up for soft plates at some point.

    Help me out with this. Why would anybody want soft armor over plates?

    Protection from thrown 1911's. Weight and conceal-ability under clothing. There was a First Spear vest with soft plates in it at the shoot Sunday morning.

    Probably as a plate backer, they don't want the weight of the plates (ceramic or steel) or to increase the threat level protection. Some plates that list level 4 protection are to be used in conjunction with level 3a soft armor.
