It's crazy how you see them in the videos and they always have a chest plate and then absolutely nothing covering their big exposed guts🤷‍♂️

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Chest plates are meant to cover your heart lungs and as much of your upper chest as possible. Stomach wounds are not as fatal as a neck shot.

That's true, but they are debilitating enough to hold you still for a follow up shot

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Almost any gunshot wound is. Plates are meant to stop, as my medic friend says, the off switch from getting flicked.

too bad spine is in the way

Whether they are or not, they don't cover his throat. Just puts a premium on accuracy.

As a person living in a civilized country I find it amusing that you have levels for your gear, like in a video game. “Aww man, I didn’t get enough XP in that last level to buy the level 4 chest plate!”

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago

The levels indicate what size of bullet a vest has a chance of stopping. I'm sure your country also has some rubric for this, despite you not knowing about it.

I promise that whatever country you live in also has levels to the body armor worn by their special police forces and military.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

A lot like chefs have a variety of knives or musicians have lots of instruments, each piece of gear is rated for a specific use. Level 4 plate is resistant to larger rifles while smaller armor ratings are for knives and pistols.

And no matter where you live, shit is fucked right now. Either Trump or Putin is going to nuke something and the only civilized countries seem to be between them. Good luck in your civilized country while you have it!

"Civillized" country ah yes, I love to think my society is immune to the currents of history

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I love to think that my country doesn’t hand out automatic rifles to anyone with a pulse.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago

If it makes you feel any better, in the US to get an automatic rifle you also need a fuckton of money to pay for a tax stamp.

Real, mechanical Autos are only for real wealthy gun nuts, but my .22 does empty 10 rounds in less than 2 seconds so the point kind of stands

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

No it's just probably about to get eaten by the country that does

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That is the American spelling. "Civilised" is the correct spelling.

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Death to America, but I'm going to take a small amount of pleasure in watching it's smug dork-ass Euro-minions get harvested for parts first

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Good thing... I'm not European?

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You spelled civilised the U.S. way, instead of how the rest of the world spells it. I find that amusing.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Holds three fingers up the American way
