Carrying and body armor

I think this takes he cake for the best/dumbest thread ever.

I think this takes he cake for the best/dumbest thread ever.

I don't know, it's a doosy but we've had some real winners. If it makes it half as long as an open vs concealed carry or 1/4 as long as a gay thread then we might have a contender here. :rofl:

To quote Kevin Costner "some things naw at a man worse than dyin". Wearing body armor in a daily basis has to be up there. You ever think....well it's my time to go. You could live in the woods in a shack with no visible means of communication and I bet you won't get shot. Or you can carry on, be vigilant, carry a weapon and not take life so seriously.......Xanax might help too

I dunno TMF and you other guys I kinda prefer the scavenger perk so I never run out of ammo going to the gas station.

Once I run out of ammo I just run around waiting for someone to shoot me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I never use my grenades, so I will drop on of them and suicide to refill my ammo, no point in helping someone pad this kills.

If I feel the desire to go someplace where body armor may be warranted, I'm probably going to stay home.

When I was with the Sher. Dept., we were required to wear one. Warm weather, they're HOT!!, rest of the time,
they're tolerable, never comfortable. Wore one some in 'Nam, weighed a ton.
Personally I don't care to wear one now, to each his own. Think I'd opt for taking ducking lessons.
I took 5 hard hits in 'Nam, none of which hit anywhere near where a vest would cover.....just saying.

Christ! Are you the Terminator? I want to see a picture of you from Nam! How big were you? Built like a brick-####-house? :lol:

Around the house and here locally I stick with a simple splint mail set up. Should I venture into town I'm more inclined to wear my half plate and carry my shield.
NOW, if I gotta go to the big city, I take NO chances. I wear my enchanted elven made full plate with matching bascinet helmet and cod piece. I wear an amulet of protection +5 and carry a cavalier's shield to maintain my mobility.

No match for my vorpal sword.

Good luck, I wear a cloak of displacement too.



......oh jeez. I got dork all over the place. I'm going to get a beer and pinch my wife's butt or sumthin.

[173rdABN]

You guys don't even know. I put an R type sticker on when I leave the house so I go 5mph faster and can dodge bullets and you'd never catch me.

Screw you guys, I wear custom leather armor from Prince armory. This is how I roll. And my crew getting ready to protect you poor innocent sheep at one of the worlds largest retail facilitys Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[173rdABN]

You win. Hard target. Not messing with you!

[KKing]

I always figured I'd grab one of the bad guys and use them as a shield. I mean, it works in the movies!

[peejman]

Don't forget something to protect the cojones

 

 

Mine are quite well protected.  My wife keeps them in her purse.  I don't really need them anymore anyway...

[chances R]

 I don't have body armor, I think that is 'overkill',  it is hot as hell inside my tank, and I simply go thru the drive-thru for everything I need, or have it delivered, thrown across the moat and over the wall.

[Guest SavageOne]

Too much ninja stuff going on here. No way I'm wearing a vest. I have enough of a load out with my throwing stars, blow guns, blinding powder, grappling hooks and stuff. Not to mention my kabaton, guns, lights, and knives.

I don't want to over do.

As far as head shots...I'm not going to try to engage that person down a 25 yd isle, i'd be looking to do it from a covered/concealed position less than 5-7 yds away before he knows I'm there.

No plan of battle ever survives contact with the enemy.

Reading this has been the best 15 minutes of my day so far. JTM We the People of the United States, in order to form a more Perfect Union......

I'm gonna start carrying a tactical wheelbarrow with all my tactical necessities in it for executing tactics in tactical situations

 None of the above. 2 from Ak, 3 from grenade schrapnel, all in the lower legs/ft. 16 mos.

in Army hospital. I'm not large, just fortunate. Nothing like on TV.

[Guest TresOsos]

I see you coming in that get up......I'm running as far away as I can as fast as I can.
