As a newbie to the plate carrier gig I appreciate the insight gents. I think my rig is mid tier, certainly not tip top of the line but it is going to protect me significantly more than a cheap set up. Cheers! #ARJunkie #2ARights #RepealNFA
A short shotgun stowed to your side or team member with availability shot shell have are fast becoming something you need. We all watched what drones can do. I know this video isn't about that. The shot shells made me bring it up. Fine video thanks for sharing.
You ever run out of ammo in a gun fight with no back up you may change your mind about 3 mags. I ended up with 3 rounds in my last 3rd mag. Nothing like thinking im about to be executed to change your mind about more mags.
Hey Leo sorry, we only just saw your question today! Sam touched base with one of his industry colleagues who is also in a wheelchair, and he had some great feedback and suggestions, I'll put below: “The plate carrier itself shouldn't really be a factor that I can think of. I run a Velocity Scarab. As for plates, I'd HIGHLY recommend getting the thinnest plate possible for the rear plate, so it doesn't shove him further forward than necessary which is not a comfortable or natural feeling. Check out Velocity or Tesco. It's possible that since he's in a power chair that can tilt backward (assuming his can) and not in a fixed manual chair like myself that plate thickness won't affect him like it does me, because if he CAN tilt his chair seat backward a little then he could technically/maybe make up for the fact that a thick rear plate shoves his upper body forward.“
@@FirearmsDepot no worries about the delay. I think that your colleague is correct. my power chair does recline back and after trying on a plate carrier a friend has, I'm glad that it does.
Did I hear correctly that you two think side plates unnecessary? Due to the addl weight or something else? Where should the front and back plates be ride - how far below the throat in front and the placement on the back? Thanks, great vid and I appreciate the info.
Your front plate should be at your jugular notch, where your neck and clavicles meet and the bottom a few inches above your belt. Mine sit at my belly button.
I think it is necessary depending on what your mission set is, I run soft armor and it covers my side with the vest I have and then normal ceramic plates on top of it when I need them. But if ur a civilian no u don’t need them ur probably not ever going to need a plate carrier in the first place.
One thing I never get is putting mags on front of your plate carrier just for simple fact that if for some reason you are moving between cover or a unexpected attack no cover or whatever may happen you take one shot to the chest your bullets are gone I always just carry them on my battle belt if I can’t get that job done with 60 round drum mag and four extra clip on my battle belt idk what to tell ya
Because if you get shot in the body armor the lost mag is the least of your problems, you are probably experiencing a broken rib and or lots of pain and bruising. The mag is the least of your worries.
I haven’t gotten an ice plate yet but knowing I could put hot coffee in it during winter might be a game changer
DUDE!!!! 👊
Y'all have said a lot of good the things on all of this and thanks for sharing the good information......

what kind of plates and carrier do y'all recommend for a guy that uses a power wheelchair?

This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen today. Stop thinking.
@@TacticallySound223this. You probably aren't taking rifle rounds to the meat of a plate and staying in the fight.
A quality coated steel plate in a spall sleeve is just fine
