  • can result in “sprawling” where the bullet and steel from your plate get you in the arm/face.

    Isn’t that “spalling”?

    No criticism here just want to get the terms right. I know if a vehicle gets hit and parts of it become shrapnel then it’s called spalling. Or even if a little bullet hits something and breaks up, that’s spalling. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    But yeah I don’t mean faceplanting, I mean like you got down on some rocks quick then crawled forward. That would make the ceramic ineffectual? I would never buy metal armor. It’s too heavy and from what I’ve read, doesn’t work. I’m not looking to protect myself from some guy with a 9, I’m thinking about SHTF scenarios.
