Oh, yeah, from the guys selling ceramic. Yeah, that makes sense. You and I both know that ALL of that is bad advice.Originally Posted by Jafar
There are plenty of tests on build up and it's effects on spalling. It's not rocket science. They shoot a plate and observe the spalling. Build-up = less or none until there are enough hits to compromise it.
I agree plates in the white would be better than nothing, but this argument always makes me chuckle. Why? If you can improve something, why wouldn't you?

With all the static over getting the right gear and training, why wouldn't you take every precaution that would KEEP you in the fight? If 30 extra shekels will keep a piece of a bullet out of your face or neck, wouldn't you think it was worth it?
None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license.

Only digging in on the position of the truth – yes, I defend guns because guns are useful for killing criminals and tyrants – is going to be successful. Only the truth shall set you free.
How does ceramic handle getting hit by 7.6x51 or 7.62x39 three times? I would think steel has the advantage there.

Unless it is in the same location, it seems to work by to youboob videos I've seen.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Therein lies the problem. How many times will someone be shot in the chest before they learn not to do that again. It's a trade off. It's there to save your life but can't be over-fortified to the point that it no longer makes any sense. Combat is not safe. I'm all on board for using the right gear, but this has the proclivity to be a run away train.
Guys, in my opinion Jafar is right on the money.
You wear armor to help in dangerous situations. Unfortunately you cannot wear or buy enough gear to account for all the possibilities. So you have to be as geared up as you feel is prudent but realize that sometimes stuff just happens and there is NOTHING you can do to prevent it.
