I remember a while back someone PM'd me and asked me if I wanted to buy some current GI issued bullet proof vests and at the time I didn't have a job and I was going to Europe... but different story now. I have no idea who that was cuz I cleaned out my PM box. I'd like to buy 3 of them if the offer still stands.

 

Usually vests have to be fitted to your body like a suit jacket to work the best. I have a Level II vest with stab protection that I bought from a guy who sells nothing but tactical gear. He also fitted the vest to me so it fits perfectly. I can give you his info if you really want one. They cost tho...

 

Yeah, I know they have to fit well. The standard GI large fits me perfectly. Nice and snug...

 

Might as well get a PASGT Kevlar helmet too, while you're at it.

 

Out of curiosity, what's the going rate for bullet proof vests these days?

 

3 man bank robber team I see.

 

army surplus stores carry them..usually you have to ask

 

Getting one today.

 

They dont have current issue vests. Just older gen vests. They typically go for $150-200 (for the older ones). Newer ones are in the area of $700.

 

Befriend a Marine that works in the supply section....j/k

 

They aren't cheap....I paid a lot for one....it was a jacket that was custom tailored and armored for full upper torso protection includiing neck that I bought from a nut in FL when I lived there that thought WW3 was coming but yeah I paid a grip for it....Body armor is very expensive but very nice to have if you're into that type of thing.

What the heck do civilians need body armor for?

 

50 Cent would know




























If it was made of Platinum and dead *****es

 

are you talking about a flak vest or the actual vest with the amor plating?

if its the flak vest, those vest are useless. And the kevlar helment sure is useless too. only stop ricochets
