So the status coup guy was talking while he was moving around about something he has to protect his head that he can then put a baseball cap over. He feels that with actual helmets ice is more likely to target shooting the person in the head. So im looking for advice along these lines on a few different basises.
-
one is common things for someone who wants some protection when they go out and can’t buy specific things
-
two is suggestions for stealth armor like the status coup guy was sorta talking about. Being protected without it being obvious and possibly be made a target.
-
finally just any advice around protection while being out that people can think of but I am only interested in defensive purposes so please for this thread limit it to protection although redirection is fine and appropriate.
These don’t have to be taken together. free found or stealth that might cost, etc.
I’ve also built “riot shields” out of big trash cans. But that requires a sawsall and some hardware for handles. Easy to make, but still gonna run you maybe 30-50 bucks for two not including the sawsall.
so do you just kinda cut off the bottom and then slice in two and then add handles to the inside face?
That’s pretty much it. I cut a belt to use as a forearm strap as well; because they become unwieldy.
yeah im thinking the bottom as round shield to and using the really strong solid type velcro may make it easy to make and repair. Maybe be able to reassemble it somwhat so its just this thing sitting there but you can grab the shields when needed. I really like your idea and thanks.
Just use a fluted steel buckler, they’re not that expensive and the metal is thicker and has a better contour. Probably fits in a backpack
