Thanks for the help Smokin Joe! I owe you one.

I left my notes on my desk so bare with me here.

1. Don't reshape the plate it will affect the integrity of the plate.

2. The Plate is an Upgrade to the standard SAPI plate and it should stop 2 hits from a A.P. rounds Anything more is iffy.

3. The soft armor should be worn to lessen the trauma from a shot.

4. If you choose to wear one or the other WEAR THE PLATE.

5. It is strongly recommended that you wear both soft and hard armor plate.

6. The Plate by itself SHOULD be able to stop multiple hits from M80 ball ammo on its own without the soft armor behind it.

Thats all I can remember right now I will post the rest when I get to my desk tomorrow.

Viking,

We are even. Thank your service and hard work. Anything else I can do for you or your team please don't hesitate to ask.

Joe
