As an experiment why don't you try the same thing with 33 pounds in your pack?

For the record I am 13% body fat and I will walk damn near anyone of you into the ground if you ever wanna give it a try.


lets do it bich! gotta get ready for ranger school anyway!

there are other ceramic and compsite multi hit plates that are a shit load lighter than the GI sapi's too....i would spend the coin on them to save the weight.

now its been a while since i read up on the plates hes talking about in this vid, but just a few more nails to hammer down before you burn a whole mess of cash

LoL Chesty!

You were one of the ones that statement doesn't apply too..  You're a PT God and you know it!

If only we were on the same coast you could inspire me and I could share my superior skills as an asshole.

Yeah, M855 isn't an AP round. It's meant for barrier penetration, and stabilization. It has been know to pierce through older
types of armor- but it's not AP. The video lacks substance.

I know Hoss has put out some useful info to people. I know that.
Honestly though, some of them, like this video, is NOT good info. What it is, is an attempt to justify a purchase from a
financially challenged standpoint. Perhaps instead of justification of a bad purchase, the assessment of said purchase
should have been called into question vs. purchasing and justifying. I would rather run NO plates vs. Steel plates, YMMV.

Well, I am kind of turned on by light weight lvl 3 plates. But I am not going ceramic. What do you guys recomend about other types of plates?
