How do you fight someone with state of the art body armor?

I was thinking maybe a 9mm or .22LR with face and leg shots.

But would a .308 or 12 gauge slug be better?
>>
>>35123798

Black tip or very very fast bullets if it's steel plates.

Other than that 308 won't do shit to it and buck/slug might rock them.so that leaves shots to exposed areas like every other normal person would do.

Stomach, neck, face, arms, legs. Ceramic plates lose a lot of their integrity with the first hit, so a burst or two to center mass will probably result in at least one penetration. Otherwise, IEDs/mines seemed to work pretty well against us in Afghanistan.

>>35123804

>he thinks hitting someone in the chest .308 even with the BEST plates won't effectively incapacitate the soldier

Being shot, even in body armour that completely stops the round, sucks like ass. You will more than likely bust a rib if it's anything larger than a pistol round and within standard combat ranges. People who think that armour just stops the damage entirely have no knowledge of physics.

Obviously you go for the kill shot but if you brain someone in the helmet or get a centre mass hit, the soldier is still going down. He's just not dying.

That only works if you hit the ceramic plate twice very closely.

The soldier experiences just as much force from getting hit as you experience when shooting it. Obviously, unless it's a cal 50 bmg, he's not feeling much.

Ballpits

>>35123953
That's not how that works at all.
>>
>>35123957
It is. The bullet doesn't gain more momentum after leaving the chamber.
>>
>>35123958
but felt recoil isn't the same as the energy carried by the projectile.
>>
>>35123958
also it usually gains plenty after the chamber just not after the barrel.
>>
>>35123961
Most of the energy is.
>>
>>35123965
If energy was what made guns kick, then a .22-250 varmint rifle would kick more than a 12 gauge shotgun.
>>
>>35123961
Correct, because the energy of the projectile is distributed through the firearm, and directed into your body. Kinda similar to how the projectiles energy is distributed throughout the plate and absorbed by the body. The guys I know who've taken rounds to their armour say it sucked, but it wasn't like a baseball bat to the ribs as some people say.

Heavy body armor is mainly useful for terrorists, bank robbers, and counter terrorists.

That is to say, when the fighting will happen in close quarters and no one will be traveling long distances on foot or carry anything but combat gear and maybe some water.

Volume of fire and leg shots was what eventually put the gunmen down there.

Especially with hard plates, the energy is spread throughout the whole coverage area
>>
>>35123975
Actually, the reason why there's so many different claims on the pain factor is usually due to the difference between soft and hard armor.

It's ultimately all down to deformation. Soft armor catches bullets, but it punches back real hard. Even pistol rounds can leave some hella big bruises that'll knock the air out of folks.

But hard armor usually doesn't deform much, so the impact of the shot is spread over the face of the entire plate. This is why many people who take center hits don't realize until someone tells them they got hit. There are plenty of videos of people on YouTube taking 308 at point blank and being totally fine. There are also videos of people trying to take hits in softer armor and collapsing like babbys.

It's all about how the armor hits back.

no it wasn't Larry Phillips was shot in the spine while trying to clear a malfunction on his beretta, he shot himself in the head due to his body tensing up as a bullet entered his spine.

Mătăsăreanu WAS shot fuck loads of times at close range in the legs. but he only stopped fighting because he ran out of ammo and the amount of police shooting him made it impossible for him to continue. he didn't die or lose consciousness for an hour after he stopped shooting.

the leg shots had very little to do with stopping the fight.

They were shot a bunch though, just not enough to stop them

> Each robber was shot and penetrated by at least ten bullets, yet both were able to continue shooting.

> Later reports showed that Mătăsăreanu was shot over 20 times in the legs and died from trauma due to excessive blood loss coming from two gunshot wounds in his left thigh.
>>
>>35124268
All those ballistic gel test are a little misleading, unless vitals are hit, bullets don't just instakill people, most gunshot deaths are the result of people bleeding out.

In the 1986 FBI Miami shootout, the bad guys were able to shoot back and move around after being shot multiple times at very close range

> William Matix: Smith & Wesson Model 3000 12-gauge shotgun, one round #6 shot fired. Killed after being shot six times.
> Michael Platt: Ruger Mini-14 .223 Remington with folding stock, at least 42 rounds fired, S&W M586 .357 Magnum revolver, three rounds fired, Dan Wesson .357 Magnum revolver, three rounds fired. Killed after being shot 12 times.

>How do you fight sephiroth with boosted defense
>I was thinking maybe a magic missile or fire 3 with party buffs and stat boosts
>But would a song of swords or meteor rain be better?
That's you. That's how dumb you sound.
Pro tip: You are not going to be doing anyone any harm whatsoever, because you're a sheltered noguns eurofaggot whose only conception of violence comes from shitty hollywood movies and video games. You will never even touch a gun in your life because you'll always be too afraid of big bad meanie salt rifles. Guns kill people dead, faggot. Everything can kill people dead. Body armor does not change this. You say "muh shoot 'im in duh leg and hayed" like he's going to sit there with his thumb up his ass while you're shooting at him, or that you always hit your target ten times out of ten. Go tip your plastic PASGT helmet somewhere else, you peasant-serf.

But for your question, cock caresser, the answer is a 75mm howitzer. It'll kill him, his friends, his armored transport, the cover hiding his armored transport, and his willingness to try and kill you. You see, some idiots will put on some ceramic plates and think themselves safe so long as they lay some supressing fire down and hide behind cover. But you cannot supress a howitzer, and there is no hard cover that makes you safe from a howitzer besides being far away from the howitzer. You do not need to destroy the body armor, you do not even necessarily need to destroy the body your enemy inhabits. You just need to destroy his spirit, and a howitzer is a tool made for that job.

I have said this in every thread ever and people always shit post about how 'hur look at this' bullshit.

Getting a round in the carrier isn't some magical bullshit that negates its properties.

The difference is that theyre firing a rifle that disipates the energy throughout the shooter in a readied stance VS someone who is getting hit with that same force on an area the size of a match head or less.

Anyone who disagrees is fucking retarded, if you are shot with a bullet and think you can take it in the plate without you being out of breath and your shit being fucked up at all you're delusional.

We've all seen that video of the news reporter wearing level fucking 9 protective armor taking 308 to the chest without moving; but that shit is not real. You dont know when the bullet is coming. You dont have time to mentally and physically prepare. And a bullet is going to almost never hit you perfectly center in the plate.

Pic related, best case scenario vs intermediate round.

>>35125860
You're actually retarded. Bullets dont knock people down.

Aim low for the groin.
>>
>>35123953
True and also kind of not true. You feel all of the force but slowly. The firearm itself very slowly accelerates backwards as the recoil forces build. The action moving backwards delays some of the forces. You feel the recoil from the bullet accelerating over time, then as the bolt etc moves backwards, it counters the forces, which you then feel as the bolt goes back into battery. So the gun will "absorb" the energy; absorb doesn't mean it disappears, its just that it stores it and gives it to the shooter easily and not harshly.

A bullet being stopped by armor expends all that energy all at once--BAM

>>35125916

You have to be bait posting. I refuse to believe someone thinks fighting someone in body armor with 3 out of the 4 round suggested being capable of being stopped by II or IIIA body armor is a good idea. Almost borderline retarded.

the surface area of say a butt stock is much larger than the surface area of the bullet. decrease surface area increase force. so... a bullet delivers far more force onto the target than onto the shoulder.

>>35123798

The best way to defeat an enemy wearing plates is to carefully select your life choices, the company you keep, and your locale so that you don't have to fight people with plates and rifles on a regular basis.

Because if you've found yourself in that scenario, you're now in an actual firefight, in which case I hope you A) are on the offensive utilizing distance, explosives/pyro and terrain and B) also have long guns and friends with long guns.
