~~Tbf, those things have always been for stopping shrapnel and keeping your insides on the inside, if you do get shot.~~
~~They were never made to stop assault rifle rounds, even from the kind of distances intended for assault rifles.~~
If you're gonna get shot by something that can penetrate your armor you'd rather not want armor because it'll probably ricochet than exit out the back and when you take it off all your guts fall out. FMJ winds up mushrooming out like a hollow point. You're ever so slightly more fucked. 416 Barrett is like your ring finger, now clench it into a ball and imagine that thing making a 2nd or 3rd pass inside you
Bold of you to assume they get back plates.
