Why?


On target for Tommy Lee.
After all, if you hit him in the ankle, he might call "good groin".

Despite all you've heard about me, that ankle shot was off target.

I have "Armour From Ancient to Modern Time" by Petr Klucina and Pavol Pevny. Its a very well illustrated book of actual armours (I'll let the more learned comment on the books worth).

Its freaking HOT in just the vest and cover.
I think we'd have massive cases of heat stroke.



And we'd be slow and easier to shoot at.



Kevlar stops up to 9mm.
Rifle rounds go right through it.


Personal armor needs to be light and effective.
Like Stormtroopers!
