What's /k/'s opinion on DIY body armor? >vid r

>>31186012

I came into this thread because I thought someone had taken MRE crackers and joking labelled them like mocked up armor plates.

I am entirely disappointed.

>>31186071
What MREs are you eating where the crackers are bigger than your hand?

>>31186012
I think you're forgetting that in a shtf situation, you won't be the only one attacking another. It is likely that all urban dwellers, tumblrinas, millennials, Trader Joe's shoppers, and anyone who makes less than $36k a year (poorfags with insufficient gear) will die within 6 months, give or take. Look at Katrina for example. Within a week, people were becoming savages and Marshall law was erected. Cops and Military were confiscating arms for "safety" purposes, yet they lacked the power to actually be there when you needed them the most. Your average Joe's and Jane's will die easily to one another, while people who know how to use a gun will fight tooth and nail to get at the can of beans. Never underestimate a good set of plates, as things can change drastically within a weeks timeframe.

Gang banging urban yoofs absolutely do have access to stuff like ARs and AKs. I've seen a video of Chicago gangbangers showing off a PS90. They also seem to like Draco pistols.

I mean I wouldn't say it's common, most of them probably do just have handguns, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility if I were seriously preparing to defend myself from watermelon.

Bumpin with local gangster guns seized

take 3 layers of abrasion resistant plexi glass around 1/8th an inch thick, get 3 quarter inch thick 6060 t10 aluminum plate. Get 50 layers of silicon carbide sandpaper layer it together with epoxy under pressure.. Bam easy pistol and shot gun protection and possible rifle protection. Stoped a .357 magnum

How would you even use the laser?

my guess is that lazer isn't very accurate.
In addition to the assumption that niggers don't know how to aim in the first place

With both hands but that seems like poor gangsta technique

Easier,

>locktite or similar construction adhesive to bond the denim
(Optional) >rhino liner or similar polymer sealing paint for extra spall protection
>duct tape surface covering

It's been shown to stop an average .223 round from 40ft, with multihit potential

Conveniently that is the only time you'll ever need body armor, retard

>>31187722
Gee daquan, how come your mom let's you have TWO crack pipes?

Also there's not much in terms of set recipes, best you can do is experiment yourself.

that is kind of retarded. Also at the point where only handguns and shotguns are in play why even bother with shitty pseudoplates, just get some cheap IIIA.

Cheap IIIa is still more expensive than these DIY concepts. You're also entirely forgetting the FBI stats showing year after year more murders are committed with handguns over rifles by a wide margin
>read a book nigger

>>31187824
Worse, it looks like the flashing stopped most of the shot and .22s

>>31187869
Maybe if you don't value your time or life at all. I can understand wanting to have the information stashed away somewhere but you are retarded if you trust your life into that.

>>31186930
>>31187722
don't forget to add compression during the week that the adhesive is setting before you add the liner and duct tape

>>31187869
You can get surplus flack or soft armor that is miles better than whatever bullshit you can nigger rig at home and only like a hundred dollars. Either admit you have no idea what you are talking about or stop posting.

Also, actually watch the video, it stops 9mm preddy gud. Same guy improved it to the point of stopping p+ rounds. There's a video of 3 ceramic tiles and steel sheet stopping 556 but that's weight prohibitive

when will this maymay die. Denim is made up of short cotton fibers. Using it is unforgivable when literally any other synthetic fabric is stronger and fucking jansport is making school backpacks with kevlar

other than that, good recipe

>only fudds, cops, and soldiers shoot 556
not everyone is norifles like you, retard

>>31188055
>bulletproof
Nice meme and it's more resistant than whatever fiberglass bullshit you can cobble together in the garage if the only thing you think you need to protect against is birdshot and .22 unless you want to make it retard heavy.

What would you accomplish with this that you couldn't get with a soft armor insert?

The only time you'll run into bullets in SHTF situation is if your against an armed individual or trying to raid some gun owner's home, both being retarded ideas and deserving bullets to chest area.
>just become god-emperor
>confiscate all guns except your own
>never have to worry about getting shot by any caliber

>>31186529
I'm actually kind of impressed. That laser is kind Mehr, but those jungle glock mags are pretty clever.
>mightemulateforshitsandgigs/10

>>31188088
Weight really only matters if your hiking. Defending a location or riding in a vehicle it will be fine. SHTF is not patrolling Afghan countryside. If your on foot, you fucked up.

This is why large bullet proof shields are perfect for bugging in/in the back of a vehicle.

Martial Law (from the root word martial, pertaining to military domains) was NEVER used during Katrina or subsequent relief efforts. All active duty military assets were used to support National Guard and to guard federalized sites. Outside of federalized sites, they were strictly restricted to humanitarian efforts and ROE to only engage to save lives from imminent danger. Civil police forces did all the enforcement, AD was just presence patrols to clear out specific corridors by prsence alone and free up civilian assets for other duties. Maroon berets were specifically worn to send the message to potential looters, but we had no powers of arrest.

this. old Kevlar is pretty cheap on ebay. pic related is german frag armour with ballistic panels 15 layers of Kevlar strong. I epoxied 45 layers of it together and it did stop Barnaul .223 Rem 55grs FMJ from 20m. Although the back face deformation was there and one should probably not breath the dust of the epoxy that was kicked up.
