Pat Riot Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) I went in search of some photos / videos that weren’t all dark like they’re hiding something. I have never been in battle nor have I stormed a building looking for bad guys, but I am pretty sure no one that actually has would wear this ridiculous get up. https://mehler-protection.com/body-armour/systems/exom-exoskeleton/ Edited February 8 by Pat Riot Duh… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassnetguy50 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) It is designed to stop bullets and shrapnel, makes sense that it resembles EOD suit. Full arm armor is a good thing if your teammate's revolver is rested on your bicep. Manurhin MR73, articles I've read say they use 38 special instead of 357.

Trailrider #896 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Having never been in combat, and having a LOT of respect for those with big ones, I see there is a good sized codpiece as part of the equipment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
