Ok.. one (1) 10x12 swimmer cut AP plate with Linex is 6.4 lbs. I think they are 1/4 inch thick, did not measure that this time, but memory tells me they were 1/4 inch then another 1/4 for linex, so just about 1/2 inch thick total.
I dont use the side plates, for reasons discussed previously. So my plates add 12.8lbs to my loadout.

Rule #3: TEAMWORK! Team dynamics are absolutely important. Know your men and support them in every way."
Ok, so that's 1.1 pounds lighter that each AR500 plate which weighs 7.5 lbs - 2.2 lbs more for the load out as a whole. A loaded AR mag weighs about 1 pound for reference. Pounds do add up and if all else was equal id love the lighter option.

really.. thats all... Dayum.. the AR500 rig I picked up a couple of weeks ago weighed a ton and it was a stripped down carrier....maybe his was thicker ??? Are you getting 1/4 or 1/2
So if weight is not really an issue all you have to wory about is penetration ;-)

I guess as long as its not soaked yellow pages, trash can lids and duct tape it's better than nothing !!!
Unless the AB ceramic plate fairy pays you a visit.

well good.. I think that was a good discussion and everyone can feel better about their choices.
