Anyone have any good guides for DIY plate carriers? I read through some articles but so far sentences like “homebrew plates create too much shrapnel upon impact from .22lr” haven’t been encouraging. I’d rather my insides not be turned into the world’s worst Pico De Gallo.
It’d be nice if you didn’t have to pay $200-$300 for self-protection.
This could work. if you have access to the equipment. Bit of a warning, guy's a chud.
