I’ve been doing a research project for the Army on this. I ship June 28th to ft Benning for basic, infantry school, and airborne school then I will hopefully get deployed. What Im worried about is this armor that we are using right now. So much that I probably will wear Dragon Skin under everything else.

The Dragon Skin is a nice concept although not perfect.

Yeah 18.5 pounds is heavy when that doesnt include other battle dress…we need to develop lighter armor.

a large interceptor OTV with 2 side enahanced sapi and two large enhanced sapi (front and rear) and the neck protector will weigh a tad bit over 42lbs last time i weighed it. The Dragonskin SOV2000 offering slightly greater protective coverage and offering the same threat level protection but over a larger area will weigh 28lbs. The SOV3000 series weighs around 40lbs but offers even greater protection. Id gladly settle for the SOV2000, especially as pinnacle offer long and short lengths unlike the Interceptor. I am infantry. I fully understand the situations we face and believe the armor debacle to be promoted mainly by the people who have never and will never serve on the front lines.

I have been to Iraq and seen the SAPI plates work. Is there something better ?. The bottom line is, SAPI plates work and they work very well. I know many people who are above ground because of these plates; wear them and you’ll be fine. Theres a lot of opinions out there based on no experience and a lot of cheap talk.

The Government takes care of the soldiers and high ranking officials. With how they upgrade guns. NEW 6.8 FOR the really good shots with the best training and years out in service. AND for all the youngins that are comming in lets give you.… this shitty ass intercepter vest.… and this shitty m16. m16 sux… take a AK from a dead sand ass caving bitches. Main Fact. US new about the breakthroughs with dragonskin. THE level 5 is CLASSIFIED!!!! look at pinnaclearmor.com top left go to ballistics you’ll see level 3–4 stop 7.62 NATO rounds REPETIVLY over and over again getting hit. AND nothing… The army won’t give 900$ more to get level 3 dragonskin to every person.
IBA’s are as usless as aluminum foil. At least u’d get to blaze before you get shot threw your armor.
God be with you all. Pray for our soldiers.
watch out for juba, dragonskin would wipe him out!!!

dragon skin is amazing and could save lives but the government doesn’t like the price tag is all.

i think to sum it all we could not resolve this isue just by argue our asses on it… for me it better if all of us could get together and at onetime test the both armor… but even if the the best armor would be found best, but there is still the politics, most of as knows about it, that some of the big asses there wont lit the best be the besest arnor just because of the cuts the he would be getting frome the companies…
