[QUOTE="jakerz, post: 2061533, member: 18966"] Only issue with ceramic is they are somewhat fragile (can't be dropped, but hopefully you're careful) and they break down fast after getting shot. It's recommended to not use them after they have been shot once. Steel or a titanium steel blend can take multiple hits without "breaking". In a SHTF situation, you can't buy another plate. You said you've been stocking up on them, which makes me think you have multiple plates, which is good. However, for those only buying one set, I would not recommend ceramic. Some people are worried about splash or fragmentation of the bullets. This can be avoided by buying plates that are already coated in a bed liner substance (you can tell when buying), or coating them yourselves. To me, buying steel makes more sense, since I won't be able to buy a replacement plate. If I could easily buy another plate, ceramic would definitely be my first choice. [/QUOTE]
