Once again, reality overtakes satire. I should have guessed. (The gizmo actually looks like it’s a good idea.) Thanks for the enlightenment.

It’s no joke when your tee-shirt is soaked with sweat.
They also make an aerosol deodorizing spray.
As you can imagine, body armor gets funkay. Febreze works.

Series, body armor is better to have and not need than vice versa.

A while back I made my first set of body armor using 18 gauge weldable steel plate that you can get at most home improvement or farm supply stores for not too many dollars.
A plate carrier vest is $50-100.
The steel trauma plates used in armor are between .125 and .375 inches thick.The thicker ones are rated for .308 rifle rounds so for pistols a .125 thickness is sufficient.

It’s reasonable to think, isn’t it, if you are shooting in anger, someone may be shooting back?
So, I s’pose I’m saying, it’s prolly going to be a bad time to start thinking about things like this when everyone else is thinking about them too.

OK, back to amusing one another.
