+Helter Smelter Rule #1: Try not to get shot at all!

amen!

+AR500 Armor will this plate carrier fit a person who needs a xl plate carrier?

1st rule, do not talk about the 1st rule

2nd rule don't get shot in the face haha

this video was made in 2015

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for watching!

I bet you like your heart even better ☝️

And I have a fond relationship with my dick, but I don't wear my plate carrier around my hips. If you want coverage for your guts and gonads, get a body armor system designed to do so. Don't improperly wear a plate carrier.

@The Good Life they do . I plan on buying one

@The Good Life Why would anyone still use steel plates? I know they're the most affordable, but you can get pretty cheap plastic ones and hybrid kevlar/titanium ones these days.

birb birb in combat we run towards them smh.

You are wrong, the first priority in combat is to shoot back, and gain fire superiority.

Just don’t get shot in the first place

Please!

He's a small guy, wearing a 10x12. Based on the rig he's wearing.

So sorry, but could you elaborate on that question a little more so we can help answer it for you?

@@AR500Armor The vest that he has in the video, what size is it???

Got it. This is the Warrior DCS plate carrier (we do not carry this anymore) and it holds 10x12 plates.

Thats Level 3, its not made to defeat rifle rounds like .223. Get Level 4 plates with ratings for rifle rounds.

Bleed out.

benjamin dover shit the bullet out and gauze up and keep trucking oorah!

I much prefer ceramic/ composite plates. I have both. The only upside to AR500 armor is its not as fragile, and can withstand many more hits.. However Ceramic/ composite places nowadays are not as fragile as people think and will hold up to anything any civilian would do with them. AR500 is also much thinner, however there are quite a few composite armor plates than are much thinner than the old SAPI plates nowadays. The biggest plus with the Composite plates for me was the comfort. They are MUCH lighter, and and much more comfortable to wear. Also, the composite plates are often multi-curve which is extremely difficult to do with AR500 and so they conform much better to the body. I'm almost positive AR500 now has composite plates now as well. If you can afford it, I definitely recommend composite plates. There are level IV plates that are only 3.4 pounds! And they are buoyant for Maritime operations. Being Level IV they will stop an armor piercing 30-06. They are around 400 a plate.

My level IV are about 6.4 lbs per plate and are the 10x12 shooters cut. They are a huge improvement over My AR500 plates, especially when worn in a quality carrier like my SKD PIG. They aren't that thick or bulky either. I paid 180 dollars per plate and they were WELL worth it. I keep the AR500 plates in a cheaper carrier as a spare for a buddy or to keep in the trunk for an active shooter situation.

Link to 3.4 Pound Level 4 Plates?? I've hear of SUB 4 Level 3 Plates but not Level 4 in a Shooters Cut or SAPI.... Would love to know where these mythical plates exist.

EastTexasOutLaws a dipshit. (While the level-3 ceramic plates are much much better.)

Anon ymous Be heavy as fuck.

+Hans Blitz its called a groin protector

Alexandros grivas I found one, most are III-A though, so rifle shot to the dick, not good.

Hans Blitz if you speak about the blunt trauma you are gona get from the blow no you arent going to get any if you got padding there

+Hans Blitz 30 caliber radical invasive vasectomy?

Sounds like you need to tighten the sides a little bit and loosen the top straps. What carrier is it?

So sorry for the late response. For this situation I would recommend the ABS Pouch - The ABS pouch attaches to your plate carrier using the Velcro integrated in the cummerbund flap or inside of the plate pocket for additional protection to the abdominal area. Here is the direct link - www.ar500armor.com/abdominal-pouch.html Let us know if you have any other questions and thank you for your support!

You are correct, however, we would add that you should always have 1-2 tourniquets minimum on your plate carrier. This is for the exact reason noted in your comment; you have 2 arms and 2 legs with lots of veins running through them. You can bleed out in 2 minutes flat, and in a situation where someone is shooting at you, it could be hours before the medics can get to you. We sell tourniquets and mounting solutions for them on our website and always suggest picking one up ASAP if you don't have one already. www.ar500armor.com/tourniquets-all.html

Same here, I just tossed one on and I look like a beachball.

No it doesnt, I run 11x14 in the back and 10x12 in front works our great

+Ethan Taylor We have the Warrior available in A-Tacs FG! www.ar500armor.com/warrior-dcs-plate-carrier.html#.VjkOr7erSUk

While AR500 provide carriers, their plates are standard and will fit any mil spec plate carrier vest. Pick the one you like and equip it with AR500 plates and trauma pads.

+Kasakee2 Please contact our support team! they will guide you in the right direction! www.ar500armor.com/contact-us.html

The plate carrier is the Warrior DCS, which we do not sell anymore.

20 to 30 solid ass pounds!

hsgi taco it looks like

Darrius Holden probably a late reply by now but hey, lol those mag pouches are HSGI Tacos.

+ubcontreras3 He said the name near the end of the video !

That’s additional weight and even less maneuverability. You might just get smoked from being too slow

no ESAPI type won't, you need russian defender plates www.ar500armor.com/ar500-armor-defender-level-iii-body-armor-russian-style-plates.html#.V9sIsJMrKRs

yeah to bad they don't say what vests the plates will work for, i have been looking at the 6B43 plate carrier to go with the 6SH112 vest but i don't know what plates are for what .

That's a LBV ain't it? No plates will work with an LBV

6SH112 just holds ammo,medical,grenades etc you wear the 6sh112 over the 6B43 plate carrier, so you have body armor under your tactical vest, not sure is that makes sense.

Ya if your PC under your LBV is made for Russian plates then the link I sent would work, if it's for standard US type they sell those also

yea wear a big hoodie

+tantricmaster800 or wear a helmet with bulletproof glass ;)

War Servent Except they're not. AP .30-06 zips along at 2700 FPS, which is a fair bit slower than 5.56's 3070 fps, but not enough to truly matter when it comes to armor. And you might be mistaken on the threat ratings you talk about. Level III may stop some 5.56 rounds (for example it will not always stop M193, but it will, ironically, stop M855 penetrators.) But level IV armor will pretty readily stop all current loadings of 5.56, with the possible exception of M855A1.

My level3 plates actually stop 5.56 rounds no problem

@@evey0259 M855A1 is not AP. InRange tested in and it was slower than regular m193 and m855. They also tested it against russian level 4 plate. The plate laughed in russian.

Yes easily

He's probably filming in some place that makes, oh I don't know, maybe body armor?

Lose weight

+Raptor Hey Raptor man, hows it hangin?
