LOL. I was also thinking a lot of folks mistake the steel chest plate insert in a commercial vest, as being "bullet proof". Probably will help but they are called "Trauma Plates", to reduce injury from sharp edge attacks (stabbed in the chest with a knife). Vests with F/R plates are frickin' heavy though. I only wore Level 2 and 3 vests. Hot and uncomfortable, but that was more than a few years ago. Thai Army might need these when Thai citizens have finally had enough, and rise up against the "government". Edited May 2, 2017 by 55Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overherebc Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 So, are we talking about bullet proof vests or bomb detectors or can we throw in how good my granny was at making scones. I've still got the recipe if anyone wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't ask me to test it. maybe it s the combination of the two, someone shoots you whilst wearing their bullet proof vest and the bullet goes thru and kills you, cures the Ebola for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamukloy Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 ...and after hearing the scorn of Thaivisa skeptics, the Thai students release a statement: "....we not plan to tell, but this one have secret ingredient..

PETERTHEEATER Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 ........ could prevent penetration of sharp-edged bullets of .38mm, .45mm and 9mm calibre. The 0.38mm bullet is indeed sharp like a darning needle. Luckily there is no weapon made that can fire it which is probably why the cartridge is a rare collectors item.

But the idiots who bought them are the real villains. If you look into it, they knew they did not work and could not save lives. Even your current PM said they worked and came out with excuses that the operators had not been trained right or they where too tired. The truth is they never worked and where a scam by this so called British company but people you support made money by corruption out of them. The design came from a golf ball finder. The UK government told people not to buy them as they where a scam but your man did, so who is scamming who? Looks like 2 types scamming those who also scam. Justice I would say. I hope these vests where not tested with rubber bullets. Edited May 3, 2017 by wakeupplease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
