Plates are there to protect the vitals, the most important ones being the lungs heart and spine. What if I get shot in the arm, I could probably survive. What if I get shot in the stomach, I would probably survive. What if I get shot in the face, I'm screwed. I wanted these plates for only the extreme scenario and to protect my most vital organs. I am not planning on being shot at day in and day out and I want to be mobile as possible. Spall guards, groin armor, shoulder armor, and other protection doesn't fit my need. If I am ever in a situation where I need to wear my plates and I'm worried about spall or my junk being shot, I'm probably already screwed. Having body armor won't ensure I will survive, in only increases my chances. Increasing my chances more with added protection decreases my mobility and I think that will hurt my chances of survival. Its a balance of protection and mobility for me. If I was in AFG I would want all the protection I could get. But even then I think mobility is an issue too. Just my thoughts with no prior military background.</p></blockquote><p></p>
