Marines in combat still seek a better flak vest

BigMac

I saw this article a few minutes ago and I agree completely. All I have to say to this is, "DRAGONSKIN"!!!!! I have used it in the past and it is FAR superior to the Level 3 Interceptor crap the military issues now. Plus, Dragonskin has a rating up to level 5. Now if the military would get off their asses and get some DS armor for our troops the casualities would be greatly reduced and they would have to worry more about blunt force trauma from such high caliber rounds instead of stitching our people back up or putting them into bodybags. Here is the link to the article:

Here is a link to video showing the 2 face off against each other.

I remeber my old Flak (99 edition) and still have one. We used to run up the Reaper(4 miles worth of steep hill in Camp Pendleton) wearing them. Talk about a love hate relationship.
