Hey....I'm not sure how people are taking the idea that's being mentioned in
another string on here about the monowire thing but here's an idea that I
saw on the dumpshock website (don't remember who put it up but if I did I'd
sure give em props cause it's a great idea) They called it Form Fitted
Level 4....it was essentially Form Fitted 3 with a layer of padding similar
to the "egg crate foam padding" behind it to help absorb the impact of a
round hitting you. In reality this would work excellantly since most of the
damage you'd actually take from being shot in the chest if you were wearing
a L3 Kevlar vest is from the vest actually dispersing the impact of the
round. If you had a layer of padding behind it then it wouldn't do much to
you at all. I like his/her idea and want to know what others here think.
They had it at a 6/6 and less concealable than the regular form fitted cause
it's thicker so obviously will make you look stockier.
