Do we have the same carpet color? Because if so, that's just crazy...Just got this in the apartment parcel mailbox. edit I got them to fit the green custom carrier, with some space for soft backers! Turns out it was a little tricky to insert cleanly, but some fiddling and bam they slid right in.
From lots of research..
Global Armour UK series;
Made by LBA International (now under Safariland Group LTD)
10.25-10.5" x12" according to tailor tape
Multi curve
Shooters cut, not swimmers
silicon boron and kevlar composite-ceramic
1.9kg/4.2lbs per plate
5/8" or 0.625" thickness, according to my tailor tape
Level III+SS109+RF1 NIJ01.101.04 certified on 06 plate, not RF1 on 05 plate
SS109=M855 series. RF1= 7.62x51 NATO soft core rifle ammunition (sort of redundant when Level III NIJ specs says 7.62x51 FMJ rating? )
Since they're missing model numbers/serial numbers, I believe they are also ICW plates as the ones I could find most info on. The package did not come with soft plates.. ebay auction did say hard plates only, perhaps only mentiomed soft plates as required to get full Level III+ protection.
So now I need to hunt down a set of good level 3A soft kevlar/aramid plate backers Then sew up a custom tailored carrier for them. They are too slim and small for the Diamondback Tactical carrier, which takes older spec Large SAPI plates.

I believe 7 mags are recommended for a battle setup. 6 on you and one in the rifle. It is personal preference on where you want to put them all.
Back when I was in the Army ...
Our standard load for magazines was 7 ...one in the rifle and six in two pouches.
Now with that said....
I would often carry extra magazines in a Claymore mine bag when out on LRRP / LRSD patrols and the like....
At times I would ditch my "web gear" and just use the Claymore mine bag to carry the magazines , depending on my role at that point in a particular mission.

Okay then...The question is... plate carrier over the LBE? (LBE worn first, then armor second)
Or plate carrier under LBE? (Armor first, then LBE/LBV/Chest rig)
Yep...Oooooooooooooooo, Andy, you're in trouble now...
Make sure you get a lot of depleted uranium shells with your Abrams tank.Problem solved just buy one of these.View attachment 686708
Yep just in case someone else had the same idea.Make sure you get a lot of depleted uranium shells with your Abrams tank.
Just out of curiosity, cuz I see this a lot with Level IV armor and it was also stated with the Level IV armor I just bought...
Without sounding too stupid, what exactly does "standalone" mean? Does it mean exactly what it says?
That is, this level of armor can just be (essentially) duct-taped to your chest?
Does "standalone" imply that there is other armor that is NOT standalone? What kind/level of armor would that be?
