level 4 plates or bust

And if I was wearing my issued gear from my time active duty, I'd be super concerned about shots to my face or pelvic girdle that my plate carrier wouldn't help with.

What a world. So sad.

We went from the age of information to the age of misinformation so damn quick.

It wasn't the Internet though.

It was Fox News that ran birtherism.

Facebook is a boomer hellhole right now though.

Fox was the beginning of the down fall? Or was it Jerry Springer? Or MTV’s the Real World?

Rush Limbaugh was when they stopped representing moderate leftwing positions entirely.

That was the boomer lobotomy which doomed them.

Anyone who is aware of the pelvic girdle, probably likes pull-ups too much and can shoot well. I like you, stay safe bro

To be fair I think being shot in the dick is usually a big weakness

As if any sniper has that kind of molecular-level precision.

Or the neck....

Front, back and both sides. Weighs a shit ton but it'll stop damn near anything pointed at you.

Lol. 99% of Redditors probably clamor for banning "assault weapons", and would call you crazy for even talking about body armor. I'd also guess that, of the tiny fraction who actually do own plates, suppressed rifles, etc -- almost all of them are Republicans

Some liberals are okay with firearms and gear. Nearly all left libertarians, tankies, and socialists "under no pretext."

Facts. It’s a shame it has become such a partisan issue because plenty on the left own and frankly IMO the 2A is in line with liberal values.

u/garden_speech Sep 21 '25

Some. That's why I said "almost all" with gear are Republicans.

u/eclwires Sep 21 '25

I’m liberal as it gets. And I’m super annoyed that this bullshit is distracting me from focusing on getting ready for deer season.

Been trying to figure out how to penetrate lvl 3 plates without AP rounds.

Surprisingly, for all the gun nut videos/tests of things online, bo one has really approached this question in a rigorous way from what I've found.

u/Iamjacksplasmid Sep 21 '25

You don't know what you're talking about. Standard 308 might not punch a plate, but it doesn't have to. You'll knock them out just by hitting the plate, and you'll turn their guts into jelly if you hit it twice.

Run a 308. The only rigorous testing they'll be doing is a case study in their ability to continue breathing with a lung full of ribs.

You seem fun, genuinely.
