Strange question, are you the shooter or the shootie?
Holy Crap!!! I almost choked to death on my iced tea......That's funny stuff and if you're serious its not.if I was planning out my defensive strategies in this age of increasingly better-equipped home-invaders
That's funny stuff and if you're serious its not.
Home invaders and body armor???
.30 Carbine isn't going to make an impression on military armor with plates. And I think we'll have plenty of warning before the "blue helmets" show up in your home town.You must be ready for those UN Troop type home invaders.....?
If you look upthread, the context is NIJ Level II soft body armor---basically what a civilian would wear under a shirt, and what any criminal with $250 can easily obtain---rather than what soldiers wear.Home invaders and body armor??? You must be ready for those UN Troop type home invaders.....?
Not sure why it's a strange question. If I was buying some body armor that's the sort of thing I'd want to know.
There are two principal limitations in [the NIJ] rating system. The first limitation is that all armor with the same rating (e.g., passes level 2A and fails level 2) does not have identical performance; this is obvious (because there is no attempt to, or mechanism, for evaluating intermediate performance), but is often overlooked. The second limitation is that different bullet designs do not necessarily have the same relative efficiency in penetrating the quite different armor designs of different manufacturers; this whole area is not well modeled either analytically or experimentally.
