Milspec combat load vest

For civilians going to the middle east or Korea for vacation

Wearing armor makes you a target.

 

[Queasy]

Yes, but is my life really worth $1099.99 plus shipping?

Wait...don't answer that.

Not wearing armor makes you stupid 😉

Go ahead, try going about a normal business day wearing that under your shirt. Do you have any idea how much that will weigh with front and back plates?

Better mousetrap<>smarter mouse {repeat as needed}

A p90 with ss190 goes through that stuff like nothing. <This is not correct according to this link the ss190 will not penetrate ceramic http://www.spa-simrad.com/57ammo.htm

I don't know, 24lbs like it says?

 

[oboeguy]

Vest weight is up to 9 lbs. without ceramic armor plates depending on size, ceramic armor plates are 7.5 lbs. each, total vest weight up to 24 lbs.

That's a heavy vest.

Opening VELCRO pouches can be heard up to 100 YARDS away - that can give up your position and draw fire killing you or your whole squad. Any one who tells you making extra noise in combat dosen't matter, or having equipment that makes noise in combat doesn't matter, won't live long enough to find out that it does matter. Put that guy on point, just to be on the safe side.

:Q

I'd be interested in something that stops RPGs like they were spitballs, like an Abrams.

some cities have ordinances against wearing them. i remember hearing someone get charged for wearing one not too long ago. they were pulled over during a routine stop and the officer noticed it.

yes i do, i had the exact vest issued to me. combine that 24 pound vest with 8 M-16 mags, 18 40mm M-203 rounds, kevlar helmet, 8 pound M-16, gasmask then go run 2 miles.

 

[halik]

400 is not bad for the traume plates... if i got shipped out to iraq, i'd definitely invest in those...

 

[shilala]

I think I'll stick with Disney, vacation-wise.
No need for armor.
