Question about Plate Carriers...

[-HITMAN-]

I'm not saying I'm going to do this but, if I bought some 9"x 9"AR500 steel target plates, could I LEGALLY put them in a plate carrier vest? I'm just curious...

[Fjold]

Sure but people will think that you're

[-HITMAN-]

yeah but those plates stop .308 and they're only $79 each... easy cheap bullet proof vest

Heavy and they splatter. Bulletproofme sells steel armor that is cut the right size and shape. Most plates are 10x12.

so if I got real steel armor plates at bulletproofme, they can just ship to my house no problem?

yep..but unless thats all you can afford, i'd suggest ceramic. the steel ones are HHHEEAAVVYY. are you buying them just to have? Because if you really need them, i'd suggest getting a quality setup.

As long as you meet the ITAR regs and are not a convicted felon then usually you are good to go.

I got my Lvl IV multi hits from bulletproofme.com - really good service and price.

oh no I don't need them at all.. but I want them just in case... thanks for the heads up but I'm pretty sure I can handle an extra 8lbs of steel

No Prob, but the 10x12 steel plates from bulletproofme.com are 8-9 lbs...a piece.

[-HITMAN-]

yeah and the ceramic ones are 5lbs a piece... 6-8lb addition won't bother me really, well, I'll never know until I try it

[Maddog5150]

You say that now but wait til you are walking ten plus miles with it on. a few pounds goes a long way then.

[-HITMAN-]

oh yes I have thought about that, but, I'd most likely never put them in if I were to do a long hike so....

anyways thanks for the input guys, realllyyy helped me out haha almost went with some targets to put in front of my chest

Legal to do...a good way to work on upper body/core strength by wearing them around and done by Clint Eastwood in IIRC Hang-em High...
