What's the point of body armor this small? It wouldn't even cover my belly at 5'8" and 275lbs.

Neat bait. But seriously are people this fat? I'm 6'3 and 181lbs. How can you function at that weight?
>I'm 6'3 and 181
OP is fat, but you are a lanklet.
My BMI says normal weight 🙁
You're still a lanky giant.
Not him and derailing thread but it really depends on frame at those heights and a little difference can make a large impact on weight. I get off on looking at weight distribution and how it affects how others see you because I'm a massive gay. Ignoring body builders:
>slender frame not active
155-180 looks still healthy
>slender frame active
Always looks healthy but expect 10lbs or so more
>wide frame not active
165-200
>wide frame active
Always looks healthy but expect 10lb-20lbs or so more
Going much over those without it being the result of serious gym time starts looking pudgy or out of shape.
I'm definitely not skin and bones but I've got decent distribution of fat and muscle. I've got big thighs so I assume they contribute.
Post em.
Just do a shirtless gym shorts picture and end this
Not doing that, personal insecurities aside I'd rather not expose myself to the internet never
No.
pussy
Don’t mind them, only 20% of Americans have a healthy bodyfat percentage. Fatties always bitch about BMI, but the truth is it underreports fatties far more often than it calls someone muscular fat.
We live in a nation of terrifying gluttons, I’m 35 pounds lighter and the same height as OP, as fat as I’ve ever been, and I’m the fattest person I’ve ever seen perform more than one strict pull-up. He’s a butter golem and thinks his cottage cheese thighs are “muscle”. He has body disphoria, there’s no reasoning with biggers, the fat literally rewires their brains in order to preserve itself and propagate itself.
I think it's body dysmorphia, anon. Also I'm not broken up about it, don't worry. As I said, I'm a healthy weight but I'm still trying to achieve a figure I like.
>the fat literally rewires their brains in order to preserve itself and propagate itself
I eat eggs and oatmeal and rice and beans, drink nothing but water, and the BMI chart says I'm overweight at 6'4" and 215. I say that this fatty will outlive the chartmakers anorexic ass. I am the ageless wonder, forever frozen outwardly at 25. Direct sunlight and liquor are vectors for aging, and I am thus rendered immortal. I sense my approaching ascension as my peers of former musclebound gym-rats melt into middle-aged blobs of sadness and fat. I look and feel the same as I did in HS, excepting ye 'olde ligaments. Come at me, Diabetis!
He has more work to do if he wants to avoid la coronary.
bmi is garden gnome magic to trick freaks into thinking they are normal and functioning in society.
moron I'm 5'11 and 280 something.
But also OP is a gay. This stuff works great if you're a gunner on a humvee or carrying heavy gear with full assault armor. However this shit will only stop or slow level one.
>moron I'm 5'11 and 280 something.
This you?

Be careful about eating eggs in the summer they could have salmonella.
Common miscomseption, salmonella is at it's full strength in summer but is most dangerous early spring when it comes out of hibernation with an empty belly

>5'8" and 275lbs
>5'11 and 280 something
At 6'1" and 230lbs, I fully recognize the need to lose about twenty pounds and have taken steps to rectify it. I'm ashamed to even say I weigh that much and these broz are all like "I'm only 5'4" and 340lbs!"
>I'm 5'11 and 280
Yeah, you're fat as fuck
Extremely overweight. I am 6ft and felt like a complete fat fucking slob at 210. I know it depends on muscle mass but there is a 0% chance you don’t look like a bucket of soft serve.
>5'11 and 280 something
>Armor will slow me down
I'm 5'8" and 135lbs. think OP is just a lard ass. dude weighs literally twice my weight at the same height
Im a manlet 5'3, can bench a plate for reps and I only weigh 135 as well. If I added 10 pounds to my bw i would feel sick. I can't fucking imagine having more than 205 pounds jesus christ. Think of your heart and pancreas dudes
Why would I listen to dwarfed logic?
Dude that is too skinny. Do you smoke?
I'm 5'10", and back when I still smoked I weighed 135.
I lifted weights often but never really put on any mass.
Looking back on it, I just honestly wasn't eating nearly enough.
I quit like six years ago and now I'm 185. Went from size 30-32 to size 33 pants, small shirts to mediums. I just mainly packed on muscle density.
I remember when I was a 120lb 5'5" 18yo kid. I miss those days. I'm on the edge of an obese BMI at 181lb these days
Are you a single cute twink by chance
I'm 6'3" and 265 lbs but I have been weightlifting for over a decade and I am physically larger than 95% of people I interact with in day to day life. It's almost impossible to find clothes off the rack that fit, I need to buy stuff from big and tall vendors and then have it tailored because they always assume you have a massive fucking gut once you get into XXL+ sizes. Most brands of clothes just stop getting wider in the chest and back and arms at a certain size and just give you more room in the stomach so store bought clothes look like a fucking dress when you actually wear them.
Start a store for cut guys. Call it fit fashion or something. I smell business opportunities. Sell supplements with clothing.
I'm not really cut, I'm not a bodybuilder necessarily I just like the progression and discipline of weightlifting. I like beer and pizza too much to get below ~16% body fat. The real problem with clothes is how much heat my body generates, wearing anything nice is fucking miserable. I am perfectly comfortable in a light long sleeve and some shorts in below freezing weather and wearing denim or a suit when its above 65 F is enough to make me sweat fucking bullets and start to feel nauseous.
If it was up to me I would wear togas or sarongs 80% of the year.
The affect youre describing starts at XL in my experience. I can only imagine it's even more dramatic at your sizes. There needs to be more L'T' and XL'T' available.
you just don't know how a normal person at 6`3" and 215 pounds looks like
>tfw 6'3" 165lbs
it's better than 287lbs like my heaviest but god damn I'm literally withering away
tfw 6 4 158 lbs
im am the skellinton
How did you even grow to that height when you clearly don't eat much? Genetics can only do so much when your diet is so lacking.
>How did you even grow to that height when you clearly don't eat much? Genetics can only do so much when your diet is so lacking.
nta but also 6'4, I used to eat like a pig when I was a teenager and was a lanklet for most of those years, but around when I was 18 I was up to like 230lbs. From august that year to november I dropped 80lbs, no change in diet, no real change in level of activity. it just happens to me now and then. weight goes up, and then it drops. haven't been over 200 since, currently 181lbs
thank mr skelton
>I'm 6'3 and 181lbs
For God's sake anon hit the gym. Being fat might be the ultimate failure, but being a lanklet for no reason is a close second.
How is he a lanklet when he is just average for a 6'3 individual? Being over 200 pounds under 6'4 is essentially overweight.
What kind of build do you consider normal? Because lanklet is not normal. I’m kinda fat now but I’m 5’10” and was that weight several years ago and my abs were visible. Not really defined but you could see them.
Being 6'3 and 180 is not lanklet tier. Stop being fat.
You must have that twink build
>being average means being a twink
Lol, lmao even
Packing on loads of muscle when you're beanstalk tall is just asking for your knees/lower back to implode when you're 45. This is why the US army don't give steroids to infantry. Your upper body can grow by 200% but your knees will stay the same, except now they're dealing with weight they were never evolved to endure.
>Hit the gym and eat like 7-8 times a day until my stomach is in absolute pain, still nearly impossible for me to gain a single Ibs over 180
Being a lanklet is suffering
>hit the gym 7 times a day
moron, let your body rest. You should take at least 2 days off of exercising per week and eat alot pf protein.
Kek, I mean I eat 7-8 times a day, pretty sure I'd be dead if I went to the gym that much
N-Nate?
6’4” 230 here. If its muscle, you just get stronger and faster. Seriously.
t. Used to be 194lbs
look at those fucking meat beaters
Not to out too fine a point on the matter, but I have a comically large member that requires such “meat beaters”. Seriously, its a curse, you’d think it isn’t, but it is.
you lack 10 kg (1m90 for 90kg would be the most optimal)
convert in retard units if needed
>convert in retard units if needed
The units of people who personally put their nation's flag on the moon?
Anon... you need to work out and have a healthy diet.
You're a sticc.
>6'3 and 181lbs
Dont worry anon you're pretty healthy BMI wise, I'm a fat fuck at 6'1 and 218lbs, slowly working my way down through dieting
fatty fat fat put the fork down.
>It wouldn't even cover my bell
This is a continuous problem for PrepHole. Things just aren't sized for big boned real men OP.
Plate armor is for your heart, lungs, and aortic arch only. Maybe your liver too if you’re a small person. It’s not supposed to cover your belly even if you aren’t a fatty fatty boombalatty.
The stuff in the OP isn't covering the heart all the way though.
I don't think anything's gonna cover your belly bud. For users of the Homo sapiens species, there's a number of armor styles that will cover more or less of your body depending on what you want/need.
garden gnomes will capitalize on literally anything, even school shootings.
Create a problem then sell a solution.
Didn't the black dude in John Wick 4 have something like that?
watched it today, yeah he does, shows up in like 1 scene at the end tho
honestly thats pretty useful if you live in detroit
Now if you get shot in the back and you're not expecting it because shot was behind you wow its perfect
>overweight/obese
>veteran who deployed but never saw combat

ar500 truly knows their market
Biggers need not apply.
Maximize protection for your most vital organs so that you can survive long enough to be transferred to proper medical care while still giving you maximum freedom of movement. For limbs you can use a Tourniquet to survive but you can't do that for heart, lungs.
Its just meant to cover your vitals
The truckload of chicken nuggies stashed in their fat guts are vital bro!

R8 my body armor bros
>if you see me running try and keep up>
Good setup for gray man.
I'm 5'8" 305lbs and I have no problem with the free plates given out by the city, though they're pretty heavy.
Scale comparison.
That Hispanic did a good job. Hope he kept it off.
Aren't those typically cast iron?
I don't think those would be particularly effective
OP has a humiliation fetish.
> 5'8" and 275lbs.
I'm 195 at 5'8", I eat like shit and have a minimal workout routine so I don't even know how you manage to have this weight.
cheaper to make and a meme. people think you're standing up straight at your enemy 24/7
Im 6 feet tall and 175 pounds and motherfucking fatties call me a twink here all the time. Fat people are delusional, simple as.
Y'know just because they're fat doesn't mean they're wrong twinkie
T delusional fatty.
It's just bantz anon
It's how you carry yourself sometimes anon
bro im taller than you and half your weight lmao. I dont own armor though since I like being nimble
>every single one of these 40 year old men have zoomer haircuts
what kind of shit is this lmao
imagine thinking that these should be the models for your plate carriers
im 115lbs and quite small and it never bothered me. I am aquarian though, self acceptance comes naturally to me
Eat more retard, you're useless and easy to kill
hey cutie!!
most protection you can have without impacting physical performance.
I'm 6'9 and 280, trying to turn twenty more pounds of fat into muscle.
to cover your heart duh, you can survive a lot of shots to the torso but if ya catch lead in your pump station its lights out. Early romans wore something similar, metal was expensive so a heart playe and helmet was the basic loadout
Why don't these people lose some weight? Like if you're going to larp with plate carriers, then do some basic cardio to lose that fat, fattie. Its not that hard.
those dudes bellies aren't covered either
imagine getting shot in your fucking aorta because you thought the only thing that needed protecting was your lungs/heart
Plate carriers are meant to be high speed low drag, they aren't meant for fatties because those carriers are meant to maximize movements.
>fatties
bro do you think only fat people have aortas?
if you want high speed low drag, don't have anything at all. You'll be fine if you get hit in a lung, however you'll die a horrible death if you get gutshot and it nicks or god forbid tears your aorta. Would rather get shot in the heart than suffer that fate tbh, no doc is gonna save you at that point.
The point of PC is to have some form of protection while also maximizing movements.
Tape some quarters over your nipples
A hole in your aorta is not survivable, and is a slow and excruciatingly painful death
A hole in your heart is a quick and merciful death
A punctured lung is trivially survivable
a hole in your aorta, is in fact, a very fast death.
Getting shot in the gut is more survivable than in the lungs or heart.
The plate covers the vital organs and increases your odds of surviving to receive medical treatment by 75%. Full ass IOTVs have the same plate coverage with the addition of frag protection. If you want a better degree of protection, buy side plates... But it is what it is. It's that or nothing.
The older PrepHole meetup pics were spot on, holy shit this thread is full of seething fatties and spooky skeltals.
I'm 6' 168 pounds and a SAPI size L works best for me
So they can flip and flop and squirm around for as long as possible mangled in the bottom of a trench for the drone camera to film. Or maybe so they have the option of using their one good arm that's left to put a grenade under their own head. There's getting shot right up the asshole too. That's all better than just getting shot in the heart and falling over.
Seething way to tell us you're poor, champion.
Are those carriers a bit too small or is the picture just weird? I know that literally all the shit that would cause you to die slow and painful is not usually covered by a plate carrier but these look like bikini versions of carriers
The slow and painful death at least gives you the chance to squeeze out a revenge shot.
Its for the poors
It's to protect your vital organs.
You can get shot in the gut and still live long enough to get triaged.
>retards buy tiny plates
>get shot in the gut and die bleeding
>get shot in the lower lungs/heart and die faster
>get shot in the spine and die or live the rest of your life eating through a tube
Darwinism in action
If you don't have someone on hand to stop the bleeding after a round of 5.56 rips through your body, the ambulance is going to be shuttling your body to the morgue. Simply don't get shot.
You can live for hours after being shot in the gut.
Lay off the movies
>It's to protect your vital organs.
Show us how many vital organs will be protected by a PC the sice of a man's hand. This piece of shit just covers the heart and nothing more.
If you want real protection for vital organs then take a good look at what the ribcage covers.
>5'10'

for this the manlet will provide another pic
Even if you're slim this plate carrier is comically small. Yeah it's better than nothing but its still a fucking joke. It doesn't even protect the entire lung area, basically just the heart and then some.
It's the same dumb shit as high-cut helmets
>I NEEEED protection but it should be as light as my brand new Nike sneakers.
Fucking dumb mindset if you ask me.
I'm entirely willing to enter live armed combat without plate armor if I must, but I would not demand the same of my comrades.
I value physical fitness and have ran and lifted weights for many years. Physical training is essential to warfare, it should not be neglected nor should standards be let to slip.
A bit chubby is workable but you are going to have to HIKE and RUN if you want to WIN. Because the enemy is training too, you only cheat yourself by making excuses.
>cover heart
>use something more flexible for the tummy because the tummy flexes but the ribcage doesnt.
>lighter by only using hard plates on body parts that absolutely need it
>works as a bib when you are eating lobster on a mission.
How come plates are the only armor anyone ever talks about when soft concealable armor would be more practical for most people to actually use in normal life?
>hurr durr muh vitals
>durrrururp you can survive getting shot in the guy lolol
>[retard noises] just wear armor over your vitals dats all u needz!!!!
If I could, I'd wear a full set of lvl 4 plates glued to every inch of my body.
Know why?
Because getting shot fucking hurts.
You can metafag all you want, I'm nothing wearing some "WEIGHT OPTIMIZED OPERATOR T3 1337 GIGASURVIVAL" memerig, because I don't want to get shot in the gut.
>B-BUT YOU CAN SURVIVE THAT!
And I'd rather not have to.
Have you ever worn armor? Have you ever played sports of any kind?
Bruh.
I'm 6'3 and 245 lbs.
Cut sodas out of your diet.
If you need something with some flavor, the grocery stores sell these little plastic bottles with flavoring for water. Just get these and bottled water.
If you need caffeine (I sure as heck do) drink coffee in the morning and skip breakfast.
I know some people's bodies are different and there may be genetic components (I descend from a POW who left Andersonville with a weight problem) but even then, we retain responsibility once we have knowledge of the fact.
Your gear means nothing if you get exhausted from using it.
The sheer bulk of your gut should protect you Fatty McFatterson.
It doesn't cover that though. In fact, from a 30° angle it covers none of that.
My guess is it is actually made for American school kids but the manufacturer is too pussy to show them wearing it.
