        The entire point of ceramic armor isnt to defeat the round on the surface dipshit, ceramic intentionally fails in compression and captures the round in the composite backer. The entire idea is to have the round ENTER the plate. Its an entirely different defeat mechanism than metallic armor which tries its hardest to keep rounds outside.

        Add to that basically every ceramic plate is tighly glued together and has either a nylon or kevlar layer in front to contain ceramic ejecta, its a complete non-issue.

              don't know why all you gays are acting like google doesn't exist. Shooting ammo in a mag can ignite the powder, but it probably won't blow up the mag because there is no pressure in the ruptured case and the powder just burns off. I guess you could have the bullet nick the primer or something but even the metal fragments from that would probably get stopped by the other rounds or the mag body.

        real life is not like the movies or video games my man, if a magazine gets hit it just rips through the mag body (be it plastic or metal) and then brass ammo like shooting a tin can. A hole is punched in and the powder just pours out. you need open flame for the loose powder to ignite, and it still won't look like the movies

                That is not what I have observed. I have always seen, more or less, a straight line of shredded terrain developing parallel to the face of the plate extending in both directions, indicating that the majority of the shrapnel is being deflected parallel to the face of the plate.

                yes i do - fragments larger than specks of paint never go behind the plane of the plate surface except when you hit very near the edge - a 0.5" flare would probably take care of that too. even that's probably not worth the effort in 95% of cases - hence why most plates fielded don't have them.

                there's dozens (if not hundreds) of high-speed footage videos on youtube that show bullets hitting plates, steel targets, blocks of pretty much any metal conceivable: the frag never goes behind the plane of the plate - it is physically impossible (unless the plate itself got ganked, of course.)

                the problem with frag going into your face/neck is about the plate being angled slightly backwards or you craning your head forward. that can be solved by having a decent carrier and either kevlar neck protection or a flange on the plate. people forget that bullet frag moving at about 90 degrees off the original impact angle will be far less energetic than the original impact - often even if it hits your neck it will be more of a painful nuisance than anything life-threatening - and even that is fairly rare. remember: the alternative is having a hole in your chest.

                i'm not saying steel plates should be your go-to - but the whole "oh, frag and spalling make them worse than not having any plate at all" is complete horse-shit.

                But you can afford ceramic if you can afford steel, there are less costly ceramic plates that do more and weigh half as much. Militech's RF2 model is a great example, they are like sub-200 dollars for a PAIR.
                Blackbeard's SOCOM contract-chaser overruns (4.75lb M61/BZ/M80a1, genuinely same performance as the LTC 28590) are hilariously the same price as AR500s "A1" steel. For God's sake, I got a pair of Gen V SOCOM TSAs for 300

                You are antagonistically, willfully moronic if you buy steel in 2023 and justify it with "cost"

      >wearing nothing and having a 100% chance of being hit by fricking bullets is fine though

      I'd rather be mobile than lug around 25+ pounds of armor alone, forget all the other kit you have on you. You don't need to worry about getting shot if you aren't slow as frick because of your plates.

        If you arent moronic, you can have front/back/side plates right at 12lbs for about 650 bucks altogether that stop any real-world AP (BZ-API, M61, M80a1, B-32).

        If you fall for the poly meme you can have front/back/sides at like 6lbs.

        Either of those are leagues less than 25lbs, and neither will perceptibly make you "less agile" for bounding between cover, its moronic poorgay post-facto justification. If you ditch sideplates, you are looking at 9 or 5lbs respectively.

          why do you defend steel plates instead of buying superior ceramics?

    Yes, strap 2 20 lb steel plates to your body, you can just lift more to avoid spinal and knee injuries from having to carry excessive weight for hours on end

    If you have metal plates just get a spall sleeve for it they're pretty inexpensive
    Or if you're a mega poorgay like me get some gorilla glue duct tape and wrap those lil homies up
    Or you could not be a gay and get ceramic plates

    AR500's spall liner is shit and won't reliably stop it.
    That being said, there is at least one company that sells a steel plate with a liner (and some kind of cork like material) that will contain the spall from multiple hits.

    Yikes, geargays are the same as zombie apolacypse nerds. Having cans of beans in your basement is 10000x more important in whatever gay fantasy you have of all supply chains collapsing. But im guessing they dont even have homes/basements.

    Has there ever been a single case of taking a round to the plate and having the spalling render you combat ineffective? And not some youtube video with some ballistic gel. An actual case out there in the wild. Surely with all the conflicts around the globe over the years and the the massive amounts of steel out walking around there should be some good cases right?

      >taking a round to the plate
      it happened to my dad - he put reinforced conveyor belt rubber on both sides of his steel cuirass and survived a pocket knife sized piece of grad rocket hitting his chest - did knock him out for a few minutes and break 5 ribs though. the inside piece of conveyor belt had some pretty nasty fragments of the armour itself embedded in it. but i guess that's ghetto rig territory.

        Conveyor belting is respectably tough and quite dense. It would be interesting to see what a conveyor belt/UHMW sandwich would do.

    emil matasareanu wore a lvl 3 soft vest with a steel plate backer hand-sewn onto it and he took a double tap of 5.56 and it didn't put him down.
    Is it optimal? No, but it works.

    Stop arguing with morons that buy steel plates. Let them make their own mistakes and suffer the consequences. Most of the posts here are just bait anyways.

    Why do people buy cheap stuff? Its not a money thing, we're not talking about buying a million dollar saltwater center console - its not stupid money - its just delaying buying that thing for a couple of months so you can save up just a little more and have a nice thing.

    I literally cannot understand it and the gun community is ground fricking zero for this moronic behavior.
