What is the deal with adepts novasteel products? Seems to be a good idea, steel breastplate or cuirass and shoulder armor. It can be also uparmored or have a molle plackard.

Could this be usable with chest rig? Do some of you own one? Can bullet splatter harm you with this kind of armor?

It's uncertified memeshit. The company has zero NIJ certified products.

these pauldrons look like milimeter-thick metal sheets, what the fuck are they protecting you from? Mosquito bites?

>>63942953
The pauldrons are IIIA, so fast 9x19mm and .44 magnum.
The helmet ain't much better. Poor guy on reddit bought it cuz it looked cool in Tarkov, but the face guard (rated to 9mm) doesn't screw in right with the helmet and supplied hardware, so it keeps falling off.

It's advertised up to 9mm and .44 magnum, along with stab and slash protection. Weighs 9lb. It's twice as heavy as a good non-stab IIIA soft armor package from Safariland or Point Blank.
Adept is shady and most of their products are memeshit dressed up with buzzwords. No NIJ certs, no known real business address (the ones they have are shared with other companies), no given place of manufacture, apparently their plates don't even have labels either.
They test well on youtube (with compensated affiliates) and have some test reports, but they have nothing to show they make a consistent product.
Sadly, they tend to capture a lot of noobs with their flashy marketing.

i love this 4chan crab bucket mantra of "the more you try, the more likely you are going to get your comeuppance!"

>>63944008
It doesn't cover your femorals, so it's just as likely as any other plate to not help you there.

>>63943905
lol, was probably a skill issue and he figured it out

>>63944014
I'd hope so, the paint was already a little worn on the screws.

>>63944008

No plates cover your femorals, so it's kind of a meme.

Hold up. So you're saying I buy the "III++" shoulder plates from Hoplite and mount them to the Jinwudun kilt?
Just gotta make sure it's compatible with my based breastplate + buckler + rapier kit. What do you think scholarly anon?

>>63944113
No, here's the plan.
1. Wear the hoplite plates and an inner belt.
2. Wear the Jinwudun skirt over the first belt.
3. Put 6x8" plates of your choosing on the sides of the Jinwudun skirt, then put 10x12" full size plates on the front and back using the XL version of THIS and some velcro-molle adapters:

It's just a literal who trip, ignore them

>>63942979
I have one and wear it often, the screws the sent come in 2 different sizes for mounting an NVG circlet, dummy probably just used the longer screws so there's too much gap. I've had it for almost 4 months and I've never had it fall off or wiggle loose

>>63944495
That's good to hear. What is your impression on the straps? He was having trouble with them as well. I found the original post, but his whole account is burnt so you can't see the original post.

NTA but I have one of them also. The straps take an hour to set up properly, but once everything is adjusted they're solid. It's not plug-and-play, though. It takes effort.

>YOU'RE STILL GONNA GET CLAPPED BY A GREEN TIP TO THE FEMORAL
I don't tend to shoot with my cock, so my femoral should be behind cover when I shoot. Your mileage may vary.

>>63944756
I get that the femoral thing is retarded, and armor kilts are retarded. But sometimes people shoot on the move.

>>63944756
>>63944776
I mean, the whole assaulter/SWAT/"doorkicker" thing is offensive ops while moving forward towards an objective.

>>63944756
>>63944776
>>63944784
Also account for fragmentation threats (arty, drones) and urban environments. House / apt walls are thin as hell. You don't always have the luxury of hard cover.
Femoral armor is situational but useful.

>>63942789 (OP)
What's up with the autists obsessed with anything but just using ceramic and kevlar from a reputable company?
It's not even that expensive anymore

>>63944857
I think half are noobs, half are astroturf attempts.

>>63944857
The breastplate is larger than any non-LIBA ceramic plate and sort of hits a different use case. It's half riot armor, half plate carrier, and handgun/knife/impact rated.
I think that the company autistically wants to make knights real again.

>>63944939
Ah, LIBA, nice!
You're referring to the 15x16" "ergo cut" Tencate made those in. It's not exclusively theirs and is still used by the IDF. India's "DRDO Large" cut is comparable too.
The company needs to make something NIJ certified, really. They had nine years to do it.

>>63944663
Squires you say...
Do they come with the shield or is it a sold separately kind of deal?

>>63947394
Depends on whether you operate out of a Mormon bunker network.

Allegedly RMA is being sued because the Buffalo shooter wore a pair of 1092 plates and the security guard at the tops supermarket did in fact aim for the CoM with a handgun. As expected this did nothing to the shooter.

I'd tell them to strip the paint and give it a good shine. Maybe etch some religious scenes onto it. Besides, when the alternative is something like picrel, sometimes you just have to make do.

The true purpose of the Interceptor was not to stop being penetrated, but to make all the men and women so unattractive that their lovers back home had no choice but to get fucked by Jody right now.

For me it's a giant birdcage on my helmet and a retinue of jesters.

For me it's a lobster tail spall trap on the neck. Could deflect a naginata or maybe the gep gun.

>>63949432
Not bad at all - but you need to be able to mount decor to it, or it's worthless. Picrel represents the severe decline of the armorer's craft.

Seems like the right thread to ask. Thanks, take a knight pic.

>>63949474
The Orle could be used as a trauma mitigation layer under the helmet, it would need to be made of something quite advanced however.
Cat ears could be fitted with directional microphones to provide enhanced forward hearing directly wired to earpro.

The deal is that you need to combine it with an attention grabbing cape. Remember, it's not cosplay or LARPing, you're as combat effective wearing this as any other Helldiver cadet!

>>63947832
this is literally just repurposed chinkanese police "riot" (anti-revolutionary) squad gear

>>63951308
No, none of that stuff is rated for handguns. 99% of the riot armor in the US comes from China and it's barely even knife rated. Just plastic.

Starting to think that they make gear look cringe and ugly on purpose. The troops, if they're white men, probably want gleaming breastplates and tall crested helmets. Instead they're issued gear that makes them look like they're wearing potato sacks. Sad.

>>63953231
Ah, never subjected your eyeballs to the wonders of Chinese online advertising?

>>63950750
You got that backwards. The III+ is PE and thus weak to M855's steel core. M193 only beats steel.

>>63953230
you're comparing riot armor that's made to resist sticks and stones to ballistic armor that stops bullets

What really gets me is even if they're absolutely destitute you can get really good armor for sale secondhand for as much or less than fresh steel while being better in every way
