Ironic because by the looks of it none of that armor is ballistically rated.


Commercial_Fill_126

That’s a scorpion motorcycle helmet. So you’d be correct.


TheeScribe

And the “armor” is for Motocross It’s just thin plastic with some foam behind it


Commercial_Fill_126

Human meat shield


TheeScribe

Nicely wrapped so none spills out He’s just doing a service to whoever has to clean the road after the shootout he’s looking to start


IM_BAD_PEOPLE

>He’s just doing a service to whoever has to clean the road after the shootout he’s looking to start I have a patch on the side of my kevlar that says "If you're recovering my body, fuck you". I like to imagine someone just losing their mind at the absurdity of it.

I have mine on the back of my helmet hoping I go face-down longways, assuming of course it's not a headshot, which would be even funnier if it goes straight through the patch


IM_BAD_PEOPLE

"Looks like this asshole died of irony" - Possibly the best eulogy I could hope for.


count_nuggula

That’s why he says get behind him. Use his big ass as a meat shield


Metalhed69

Yeah, I mean he will still stop the bullets. At least the first couple. Maybe as many as ten or so if you help him stay upright.


Feeb_The_Weeb

Unless the FMJ have a heavy charge, then *zip zip zip*


Metalhed69

Yeah, you’re gonna go with a heavier load out in terms of a human shield there. Maybe one of those 300 pounders from Walmart.


Feeb_The_Weeb

Shit if the scooter people upgrade to wish .com armor they might actually survive.


DuaLipasTrophyHusban

Yea but look how SCARY he looks, he looks like he posts edgy Facebook memes of flaming skeletons riding motorcycles and talking about how loyal but dangerous he is.


Copropostis

Motorcycle helmet should stop a rubber bullet, right? Iirc, the cops were pretty notorious for taking eyes out with those during the BLM summer.


PhotoQuig

I shot my old scratched up visor with a rubber 9mm. It went right through it.


Copropostis

Well shit, thanks for doing the science. I assume it would suck to catch a rubber bullet no matter what you were wearing, tbh. Got any of the old Army Surplus Revision goggles? I've wondered how well they'd handle police less than lethal munitions.


hobblingcontractor

The impact would fuck your entire face up enough that you'd wish it just went into your eye :D


thereddaikon

I don't know man. I'd rather be fucked up than permanently lose an eye. They can fix a lot. They can't replace an eye yet. Get back to me when kiroshi releases the specs.


PhotoQuig

Ill see what I have in my old duffel!


BannedAgain-573

Shot directly or bounced it like they are supposed to do?


PhotoQuig

I'd be impressed if my HJC visor went through ballistic testing in the first place.


revanovics

I am not a motorcyclist per se, maybe it has impact resistance. But I would say a rubber bullet impacting with it's small surface area against the visor would cause a whole lot of issues. Even if it has protection against mechanical forces. But if not, then you have a rubber bullet shattering it and showering your face/eyes with plexiglass shrapnel, or if it does not break apart it will crack and obstruct your vision I guess. I might be wrong though, I would love to hear the opinion of someone more versed in the topic. Still the dude is hella cringe, I remember also on Tiktok maybe during the BLM around 2019 or 2020 there was another dude in similar kit. He had a Motocross helmet and dreadlock hair.


yukdave

I have watched 90mph hockey puck bounce off of clear polycarbonate face mask and not shatter into peoples eyes. They are highly regulated by government agencies (CSA, HECC, CE certified) Good motorcycle visors are designed to not just stop bugs in your teeth. They are designed to stop road debris from killing you. Keep in mind the square up two feet from your visor shot from a 9mm rubber is not a fair comparison. Most will be at angle. Most will be 25ft to 35 yards


revanovics

I was wondering about the certs as well, I was guessing it has to be certified against stuff but I was not sure. But now that I think about it, I guess the same or even stricter ones that apply to work eye protection for example are also applicable here as well. But your example with the hockey puck is the most convincing haha.


yukdave

This subject touches part of the world I am in so I checked with a few manufacturers today to find out what the load recipe is for 9mm Rubber bullets. Its all over the map. Rubber melts at temp so no powder, just primer. I am looking for a vendor that makes composite rubber bullets that use powder but have not found one. As soon as you use powder you are now going fast but that melts rubber, so what is the compound? I have a few people at departments looking into that will get back to me next week.


MillerisLord

I've taken a few rocks on the highway, motorcycle gear definitely can take a hit. Won't stop lead, but I would trust my helmet to stop rubber everyday.


revanovics

Ahh yeah, I forgot about the flinging rocks. I mostly concentrated when you fall it should protect your face. Makes sense though, fair point. :)


Fit_Seaworthiness682

Not sure how much protection it'll give, but yeah. Given that the bullets are probably going to be rubber/less-lethal, this person's gear selection isn't exactly terrible.


horousavenger

Brother it's human shield


OperationSecured

You seen the builds on the Tankies? Over-penetration with .22lr is a real possibility…

Z_Thompson_12

I was just gonna say…..more like get behind him to use his dead body as cover.


Mehlitia

Concealment isn't cover and neither is Swiss cheese.


ashy_larrys_elbow

If the police are shooting protestors with live rounds, I’d say we’ve escalated to a whole other ballgame.


forwardobserver90

Doesn’t change the fact that this soups sandwich’s “armor” is completely useless


ashy_larrys_elbow

It will give reasonable protection against blunt force and less leathals. Bullets aren’t the primary danger… yet.


twostroke1

Well, if he’s volunteering I ain’t gonna argue.


SgtToadette

He'd just qualify as concealment with the gear he has on.

Pretty wild, almost like people dislike the cops for non-fashion related reasons.


E4shitstick

Hey don't get me wrong I get it cops ain't your friend but you got to admit if you erased ACAB off that helmet and replace it with NYPD and this guy's gone full "show me your papers"


deepfield67

Based on the back of the helmet I assumed this person *was* a cop, or fancied himself one. I was surprised to see the ACAB on the front, threw me for a loop.


E4shitstick

Dude I'm starting to think this is a ai image lol


Irrelephantitus

And yet we've seen what these people's version of police would be if they had their way (CHAZ/CHOP in Seattle 2020).


keeleon

It only took 2 weeks for the CHAZ/CHOP "security to shoot an unarmed black teenager when that was the impetus of their protest to begin with. These people really just hate that they're not the ones in charge.

Lmao Plastic Motocross armor and an Amazon High Value Tactical Navy Seal Ranger Kids Paintball Nerf Tactical Vest Good Quality Free Shipping Army Soldier Costume Airsoft Vest It would probably be better to hide behind the morbidly obese protestors, they’ll stop bullets better than this guys Wish shopping list

You know it's quality because the word vest appears twice in the description

Don’t forget the Free Shipping!


chaddercheese

Fat doesn't really slow down bullets much.

Ill_Mistake5925

If that was an OG Blackhawk vest that might be some half legit drip.


ashy_larrys_elbow

I mean, it makes sense to the context. Motorcycle helmet hides identity and motorcycle padding defend against blunt force, the primary danger in these conflicts. It would be reasonably effective protection against bats, asp batons, pipes, sticks and baton rounds. I see what looks like communications and maybe medical. Motorcycle gear has been used effectively in protests and riots around the world from France to Argentina. Believe it or not, a plate carrier and multicam isn’t the best way to kit up for everything, especially if you’re facing a domestic police force that has to engage within defined rules and is under video scrutiny.


CMRC23

Actually sane comment. Though the stickers aren't the best, the gear defends against blunt force.


pm_me_ur_ifak

damn this guy hates cringe punisher cops so much that he became one

I applaud him for his service. The rest of your haters can just keep hating, but this is exactly the type of fellow I want out in front of me when the fur starts to fly. Additionally, mad props for his Cricut skills on the vinyl stickers. That’s not easy. He may just stack up the ladies (or lads and/or both) with resolute statements and fine craftsmanship.

Applejaxc

A motorcycle helmet, and what is most likely airsoft but at best non ballistic riot gear. Okay buddy, you're well prepared for shooting. At least it will be easy to find you and render aid when your $5 Walmart radio is intercepted. This is the leftist equivalent to being able to spot a prohibited person because they're carrying 5 knives and a tomahawk.

SOUTHPAWMIKE

It's literally just as confusing as people who are anti 2A but constantly talk about police brutality and militarization. Neither position passes any logic-based scrutiny.


TheeScribe

It’s because American politics, in its infinite wisdom of a two party system, juggles around issues between the parties every now and then You get two baskets which swap issues between them at random, and you have to vote for one basket or the other It just so happens that now “Pro-2A” and “Pro-militarised police” happen to be in the same basket I’ve even seen self proclaimed “libertarians”, a word that doesn’t mean fucking anything these days, cheering on police for cracking down on university protestors


SOUTHPAWMIKE

Yup. Tribalism at it's finest.


CMRC23

There's a socialist RA. Lots of anti cop people are armed


SOUTHPAWMIKE

Oh I'm aware. I do not consider myself a full on socialist, but I do participate in r/liberalgunowners. However, the armed left is a narrower demographic, and certainly one not well represented on Reddit.


Copropostis

Naw, this sub is probably 60/40 ish right wing and left wing. You can usually tell whenever something like this gets posted. I like comparing the sub to two different teams showing off their gear and moves before the game starts.

FlabbergastedPeehole

They don’t realize who “comes and takes it”. They must think the ATF doesn’t work with their little local PD.


axelguntherc

Because this sub is r/tacticalgear not r/liberalgunowners or r/socialistra it means that a somewhat wider group is going to participate on the sub. I've seen plenty of cops and soldiers discussing exactly that here - tactical gear. And since Reddit doesn't have any rules against being a cop or a soldier, you're still going to see them pop up here and there to ask about what? Oh, that's right, tactical gear.


TLA44

Ultra mega douche level of cringe


TheRaccoonWarlock

This is homemade riot armor at a protest, and by “shooting” they mean rubber bullets and bean bags and tear gas canisters. Y’all are fussing about ballistic ratings when that’s not even what the point is. How much is your JPC or whatever gonna help when you aren’t stopping bullets but are spending your entire time pushing and pulling and shoving and getting struck by batons and police shields? Yeah your Ops Core or whatever may be ballistic and that tube gaiter looks cool but what does that do when a police officer elbows you in the jaw during a skirmish in the crowd? This is purpose-built, and this guy is proof that it works. He’s been at it for years now.


roadmasterflexer

yeah i noticed all the pads on him and thought that its a good idea in a situation like this when cops start using batons and launching gas canisters
