If this is the Galac-Tac kit, it isn't ballistic at all; it's ABS plastic...
Also, I would not trust a trauma plate with gaps in the middle (i.e. exposing the heart and bronchial tubes).... I'd further be worried about rounds spalling (when the round hits and shatters into a billion tiny sharp metal fragments still traveling at dangerous and damaging speeds) from the angles of the chest armor as well...
But it still looks badass!! If it was a kevlar lid akin to an ACH, I could've seen my old CO TOTALLY okaying these for the Company!

It's designed for the airsoft "Milsim" crowd.More to look cool than to give any real protection... Considering if you get hit on your pinky finger you are considered dead.
Still Very Cool indeed...

thats a shame it's not real!!, I was really impressed, not to say I still don't think it looks awesome, the skid lid looks exactly like the air frames we use at my work, but I know how much people get into airsoft overseas, kit looks identical.
what mil/army you from??
cheers for the link mate

Not sure if this is real or not.

Actually, with further investigation into pics posted, I found that there IS a shred of truth to the "ballistic" nature of this armor.........
There's a plate carrier underneath that holds a trauma plate...
In other words, the armor is just junk to pin to your kit in place of actually useful stuff... You know, like magazine pouches...
It sure is cool looking, but the current "boring" armor of the US Army Infantryman is a whole hell of a lot more effective in a real gunfight...

Depends on your trauma plate. Our ceramic IIIa plates were 5lbs each, but I think the AR500 steel IIIa plates may be a bit lighter, and I'm almost certain they're thinner than ceramics... As for the plastics, I can't imagine it weighing much since it's all urethane. Mounting NODs on that helmet, though, has got to be a neck-killer; they're bad enough on a good heavy kevlar pot, I can't even begin to imagine having all that weight (and then some, our NODs and rhino mounts were way smaller than the ones pictured) on the front of your lid with LESS than the Kevlar's weight...
But yeah, bulk and weight are also issues... :S

Wasted Fett
