DaGimp 0 #26 March 11, 2005 QuoteThe vests posted by others could be effective against AK and other 7.62 rounds, as long as they chose Level III or Level IV. (these either tend to or always have ceramic or metal back up plates) but like Scott said....the army has UNIFORMITY. so best bet, the army will issue body armor."Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,584 #28 March 11, 2005 Good to see you looking frisky, Scott. Stay safe. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,146 #31 March 11, 2005 QuoteSecond issue. Just because you buy it doesn't mean your loved one will be able to wear it. There is a thing, especially in the regular Army, called uniformity and it means everyone has to look the same So if one guy doesn't have it, no-one can wear what they have? Where's the sense in that?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
