Body armour

Afternoon,
When it comes down to body armour it is a hot topic as at the moment it is more protection = more weight.
So I ask you what would you have?
1. More protection but sacrifice mobility
2. Less protection and gain mobility

Such a simple, yet informative topic. I'm surprised it hasn't been done before.................

I want one of those suits out of that game Halo where it gives you a shield but also enables you to jump higher and run faster. I think they're air conditioned as well.

Dish dash and flip flops is by far the best protection. Every cunt I shot at wearing it just bimbled off after brassing me up.

People are going to shoot at me? No one mentioned that in basic!

The RAF use those I think. We call them aircraft.

With the SLR you didn't need to shoot straight. The deafening report was often mistakenly believed to be God's own furious vengeance by anyone within earshot. In fact, in several cases they perished from dehydration after immediately, repeatedly sh*tting their pants.

Yep. I did start my army career with an SLR. In fact I remember hitting the 600m targets regularly on the APWT. Couldn't do that with the A2.
