Royal Nonesuch back at it with the DIY… this time in the protection field:
As expected, one hit was pretty much the threshold for ceramic.
People were making some good suggestions in the comments to line-x truck bedliner some plates together with an AR500 steel outer plate. I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. We know damn well that those nice looking “armor inserts” companies are selling for plate carriers are just cosmetically beautified easily obtainable materials like mentioned above.
That metal he used (plywood sheathing) was definitely as good as nothing. Dude isn’t making dragon skin (hehe pictured left) yet… but Id give him some time and he’ll come up with a nice homebrew option like he always does.
Thoughts?
