Random unprompted rant: Despite the persistent perception that all German tanks were over engineered and overpriced, Panzer IVs were on average slightly cheaper than average Shermans and T-34s.

But yeah, while they were better in a few aspects, they were a lot more difficult to maintain Shermans, but still FAR more reliable than T-34s which (like Panthers) were trash in practical reality despite looking impressive on the spec sheets. The whole "over engineered and overpriced" is absolutely true if you compare tanks in completely different classes, apples and oranges, etc.
Tigers-1 cost 4 or 5 times as much as regular medium tanks, and Tiger-2s were twice the price of Tiger-1s.

>Aramid\PE Granits
There can be any number of reasons for it. The website could be lying\mistaken, but that's hard to believe given that it's Techincom's official civ storefront. They could have changed the backer to PE in the latest series for cost\access\tech reasons.
Or you could be confusing Granits with SShTF plates (picrel), which are visually almost identical - same double-curve shape, very similar rubber coating (SShTF is smooth matte, Granits are more "truck bed liner" wrinkled). Granits are more "swimmer cut" shaped while SShTF are closer to SAPI shape, but you have to have them side by side to distinguish. SShTF plates are always aramid backed because the factory itself primarily makes technical textiles, incl. its own aramid. Techincom is a large combine dealing in all matter of body armor and nylon gear.
Whatever the case may be, I don't have one to cut open and check right now, so we're going to have to resort to secondary sources. Let me look for some test vids.

>My rough estimate
As I've said, chonky plates for chonky boys. I doubt they exist in any serious quantity, though. Br6 is such an "out there" target for body armor, both due to technical limitations and tactical necessity. I think the extra special guys would probably prefer something on the level of Br5+ Granits, but lighter and\or more multi-hit. Beslan is still fresh on some of their minds, and in there, almost every assaulter took multiple hits while escorting the hostages out, some were wounded up to a dozen times.

>europoor plate carrier
Direct Action gear is solid and advanced enough to inspire multiple copycats, so that's a good sign. Tasmanian Tiger is always a solid choice, a FSB dude I know swears by it. IDK about Savotta, finns seem to know their wargear well, but I haven't seen any serious endorsements so far (not that I was looking too hard), maybe due to their smaller scale. Also, does Savotta even sell their PCs to anyone except Finn army?

On a completely unrelated note, please try and avoid getting drafted into a land war in Northern Eurasia, this didn't end well for anyone in the last ~500 years.

Dugin is not my comrade (and y'all pay way too much attention to him anyway), and I don't extend my nationalism to random Slavs until they at least start writing in Cyrilic as the Apostolic Saints intended.
It's just that it actually didn't end well for any europoors who ventured into Russia with ill intent in the last 500 years, slavs included. Polacks got as far as installing a false czar in Moscow, got rekt by a militia and suffered at least 4 partitions since. Sweden ceased to be an empire and is still salty about it, which is why they're whipping up the Finns to jump into the meat grinder after the cockhols. French had to learn rapid dining service under Cossack boot (hence the word "bistro", which means "a small inn" in French and "quickly" in Russian). Germans got rekt, occupied, partitioned and generationally cucked (though the last one is mostly an American achievement). And that's just the highlights.

>Most of the affected individuals reported an acute onset of neurological symptoms associated with a perceived localized loud sound such as screeching, chirping, clicking, or piercing noises.[5][6] Two-thirds reported visual disturbances such as blurred vision and sensitivity to light. More than half reported intense pressure or vibration in the head, ear pain, diffuse head pain, and cognitive problems such as forgetfulness and poor concentration. Tinnitus and hearing loss occurred in one-third of cases, and dizziness or unsteady gait affected one-quarter.[5]

Kinda sounds like Havana Syndrome cranked up to 11. Would be a nice piece of irony if we used a reverse engineered and improved version of the thing that was used on our guys in Cuba.

10mm, whateva happened there...

>>
10 mili-does what 9 mili-can't
>>
>>64748201
But that's not what happened.
Hollow point design was garbage, which essentially biased handgun effectiveness towards high mass bullets.
When hollow point design improved, 9mm was the major beneficiary because designers could tailor bullets to have good weight retention, 12-16 inches of penetration in gel, barrier blind capabilities, etc. What did .40 and .45 get? Good weight retention, 12-16 inches of penetration in gel, barrier blind capabilities, etc. So larger calibers are designed to the same standard as 9mm, but the added inertia and muzzle energy allows the designers to enhance bullet expansion. Since they get no benefit in penetrating more, they trade it for final bullet frontal area.
It's up to you if you want to get that added wound volume at the cost of higher recoil. It's just that statistically you'll shoot better with a 9mm and an instance of a gunshot's effect on target being decided by handgun caliber choice is almost null.
And when we get to matters of budgeting 9mm is cheaper for agencies to purchase.
>>64748598
But they have the funding to do scientifically valid gel tests. It doesn't matter if a local PD gets more kills per year on average than the entire FBI, they have no control over variables.
>>
>>64748203
They do? The caveat is they have an approval process for personally owned weapons and some are not allowed. Nothing is stopping them from using .45 or 9mm.

>>64749949
>statistically you'll shoot better with a 9mm and an instance of a gunshot's effect on target being decided by handgun caliber choice is almost null.
this is the real reason why 9mm is favored. In a high stress situation, most pistol rounds will do pistol round amounts of damage so it's better to hit more times due to more manageable recoil for accurate follow up shots and more rounds in the mag for more follow up shots.
