@44SCB Titanium plates are the same thickness as steel, 6mm for level 3 and weigh a couple pounds less, about 7.5 pounds.
-
Do you think that steel plate could withstand about 8 shots of 9mm?
-
Didn't Knights wear steel plate armour, yet theirs could only withstand the impact of earlier firearms? What makes this kind so different? It gets me thinking, probably wouldn't want to see a knight wearing this kind of full steel plate armour and a sword charging on a battlefield using guerilla tactics...

@GearBuyersGuide why not?

@frogseb in the face lol

@GUNSFOREVER1 so the bad guys know where to shoot you

How much were the steel plate
-
@TheHurricaneJohannes Lexan is not polyurethane it's a trade named polycarbonate, also that 10 cm plate of glass is enormous when you think about it since it's roughly 4 times thicker and much heavier than a standard rifle plate.
-
I've been checking Youtube and Google for a third option, besides soft armor like Kevlar, namely polyurethane (Lexan), but I find nada. What am I missing here? If you think about it a 10 cm plate of 'bullet-proof glass' seems like a good idea, but obviously there's a catch...? Anyone who could enlighten me?

I had ceramic sapi plates in Baghdad for over a year and they're actually pretty resilient. I dropped mine countless times and didn't have any problems. I also never heard of anyone damaging their plates while I was there. It' s probably just a precaution for the idiots that think they're indestructible.

@XDsubcompact
true, but did you X-ray them occasionally? they can develop cracks which make them much less effective (Im told)
