    It’s crazy how you see them in the videos and they always have a chest plate and then absolutely nothing covering their big exposed guts🤷‍♂️

    As a person living in a civilized country I find it amusing that you have levels for your gear, like in a video game. “Aww man, I didn’t get enough XP in that last level to buy the level 4 chest plate!”

      The levels indicate what size of bullet a vest has a chance of stopping. I’m sure your country also has some rubric for this, despite you not knowing about it.

      I promise that whatever country you live in also has levels to the body armor worn by their special police forces and military.

      You spelled civilised the U.S. way, instead of how the rest of the world spells it. I find that amusing.

      A lot like chefs have a variety of knives or musicians have lots of instruments, each piece of gear is rated for a specific use. Level 4 plate is resistant to larger rifles while smaller armor ratings are for knives and pistols.

      And no matter where you live, shit is fucked right now. Either Trump or Putin is going to nuke something and the only civilized countries seem to be between them. Good luck in your civilized country while you have it!

        I love to think that my country doesn’t hand out automatic rifles to anyone with a pulse.

          If it makes you feel any better, in the US to get an automatic rifle you also need a fuckton of money to pay for a tax stamp.

          Real, mechanical Autos are only for real wealthy gun nuts, but my .22 does empty 10 rounds in less than 2 seconds so the point kind of stands

          Death to America, but I’m going to take a small amount of pleasure in watching it’s smug dork-ass Euro-minions get harvested for parts first
