The results will be interesting to see since we have seen Chinese plates in Ukraine used by both sides working well. I'll be intrigued if it doesn't meet the standards for NIJ IIIA. Of course, this is all based on the assumption that the plates aren't expired, exposed to the Sun for too long, and, most importantly, are real.
Polyethylene. It is a type of plastic used in body armor and is incredibly light.
I wouldn't really doubt the authenticity of the plate being used by Oxide, since he's tested some rare pieces of gear before and this seems to have been supplied by an actual Chinese fan. He has also previously given some pretty positive / honest reviews on commercial Chinese plates (UTA to be exact), so I'd probably trust whatever he says.
We’ll have to wait and see. Personally, I am inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt given his proven past. However China is a different beast altogether when compared to Russia. Nonetheless, I’m excited to see the results and how he conducted the tests.
Do you think these Chinese fans know he serves in the US military as a warrant officer and wants to test these Chinese plates in order to find ways to defeat them, to more easily defeat the PLA and China? What they did would basically be treason anywhere else in the world...
It’s a ballistic plate man, the CIA has other sources I’m sure.
That wouldn’t come under the CIA.
My point of criticism is, why would you aid a nation and someone in that nation's military who has expressed more than enough times they see you as their greatest enemy and really really wants to have a quick cold to hot war? It's just so pathetic and/or naive. It's one thing if he bought it off Taobao, at least it was a transaction, but given?
