Call of duty has taught me that real operators wear 3 armor plates in the front of their plate carrier, and after they get shot they just shove another couple plates in.
@@GUARDIAN.13 i prefer the comms vest but I mainly play DMZ with my brothers and having that call out that operator/squad/platoon is nearby is super handy and comes up big most of the time
@@Sophistry0001 I use the demo vest with proximity mine and scatter mine. I pair it with an m4 with launcher attachment and an ftac siege with stock it tends to piss most people off on any play mode lol
@@GUARDIAN.13 whats the demo vest is that from the new one? The devs didn't migrate DMZ game mode into MW3 so I'm stuck in a time capsule. I do lean pretty hard on underbsrrel drill charge launcher to bully ppl in vehicles
My plates come in tomorrow with the carrier i ordered for my brother (I already have the elite carrier). Every time I get a package from Tacticon it's a good day. I highly recommend their gear to anyone looking to equip themselves.
I really appreciate that you guys actually took the time to properly explain/test this. Other RU-vidrs would not have put in the effort. That opening joke tho 👀
Whybdidnt he put the soft/weaker plates on top? It better to use the lower rated tonslownthe bullte down and the higher rated to stop the bullet/pueces
Funny and informative, 😂...lol....love how interactive you(Jake) are between the videos 2A podcast and keep your company running and gunning. You and all the people at Tacticon Armament, I hope you all have a great holiday season and Merry Christmas and a happy new.
I'd be curious of the stacked AR600 and AR600 + PE plate with an M2AP round that meets the NIJ spec of 2,880 fps, vs surplus which usually never comes close :D
One additional caveat: if a plate says in conjuction with 3a soft armor please for the sake of your family wear the soft armor under the plate. It might stop some threats without a soft armor backer but not what it's rated for.
I'm curious to see how many 3A+ hard poly plates it takes to stop an M855. For science. My best guess is it goes through 5 plates, and stops on the 6th.
I was wondering the same thing sorry all the guys talking about taking frag. I've seen the tests they've run with the steel coating but it would have been cool to see how the soft absorbed the spall that deflected from the steel
So much fun .can’t wait for the 2a pro course and about 7 years worth a double jobs and absolute grinding till I can have fun like this. It will all be worth it one day to not have to punch a clock for someone else
Happy to see my ar600 plates get more fun/testing done. It's good to know that, with my plates, I can be an effective shield for others against up to 30-06 AP. Not that anyone is going to be trying to shoot me with such ammo, but it's food for thought.
@@kalebtingen934mine show up tomorrow. They have a great plate/plate carrier combo on their website. I've bought almost everything they have on their site and I am thoroughly impressed with their gear. Get you some, bro!
Local cop in my department once survived a 50BMG to the chest because he was wearing both his plate carrier and his dad’s, also a cop, who had recently passed away, to honor his memory.
On this episode of Science with Dr. Halfcock, we ask the question "does stacking two girls with B cups equal one girl with C cups? Does stacking two girls with D cups equal one girl with double D's?, and does stacking a dozen girls with A cups equal one Christina Hendricks?", this and more on Science with Dr. Halfcock!
Space game warfare and tank warfare has taught me about spaced armor, so I guess, a pair of metal/ceramic/poly plates with a piece of Kevlar in between could count as spaced/composite armor?
Solution, strap those reactive plates they put on tanks onto your chest You may even stop some explosives, so that's like lvl20-30 armor No need to thank me, just make sure you have back insurance
Tacticon armament can you guys do a plate like at 19:55 but less steel thickness! What i mean is a custom order of steel strike face half the thickness and weight but thick poly backer that would be amazing right around 8lbs !🤞🤞
Honestly, what we really want to focus on is what is the least protection one needs for the realistic threat of you know who and what bullets they're using. We know it's not handgun rounds. But, what plate(s) is/are sufficient for this specific task?
Ok how do I get on the R&D or Design Team? Fellow poor boy here that has taken many dives into the bargain bins at my gun shops in order to make what I need be reliable out in the field and on the range. I want in
I don't see nothing wrong or questionable about using soft armor in conjunction with steel armor. I could see soft armor being great for spauling and debris. But I'm just a flat range roaming civilian
@twe_music it's worth the wait. I got the battle vest v2 with the 3+ plates. I have wide shoulders and good size traps. It took a bit to get the shoulder straps adjusted to a comfortable spot but I have no complaints. Especially for the price.
Was hoping for ar600 and lvl 4 with m193 but I think you went beyond with the BBT (Big Black Tip) I actually had this dumb ass idea a while back. I have level 4 plates but hearing you talk about steel’s multiple hit factor makes me want it, but here in the good ol’ USA most people have green tip and m 193 so I think it’d go through just steel but not steel and lvl 4 but it will weight 14-15 lbs for both front and back. Will there ever be a stronger steel?
If you layer steel and level IV, you're going to have a rig that is well over 30 pounds, if you can even find a carrier that accomodates double plates.
