thomasw Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 MICHEs will stop a 5.56 head on, not sure the minimum distance though. The military channel had a thing on where some of them were made, and how they were tested. Jay, I thought that if you marry a US citizen, you can stay in the country. Why still so much trouble?

Miker Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Helmets also protect from shrapnel and falling objects... Even if it doesn't stop a round it is still good protection... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why still so much trouble? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dont know why, But i know it is not easy, and if you ask why they punch you in the nose and tell you to drink your juce. (not really) But my wife even had to drive w/o a liscence for about 6 months because SC said they had to have a green card to renew her lisence and would not recognize her federal papers. On topic though, this is interestingly weird: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DarkLite Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 INTERESTING SEMI-RELEVANT POINT: Green cards are actually blue. My dad got held up at a US airport once, because when he was 12, the green card he had in his passport was destroyed along with the passport when he got it renewed. The immigration officer got pissy, because aparently the green card still belongs to the US, and was threatening to have our family arrested due to "Damage to US property". Had to go and get an IO who wasn't a foaming wankpot to sort it out. Edit: Oh shi picture thread? ^Shot in the helmet point blank with a 9mm on a combat op Scary. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Luckily it wasn't an older, 7.62 pistol - those punch right through both sides.

Rogue845 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Here are a couple of shots from UCAP this Sunday gone. Please excuse the mutated Armalite. It's dark in UCAP so attatching a torch to the gun is a good idea. I was also playing with my gun-cam that day so my M4 looks a bit too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TerranCmdr Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) is it true that a stack of paper about 1cm thick can stop a 9mm? i heard that somewhere.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There was a Mythbusters episode where they tested different things for being bulletproof, among them was a stack of cards, a bible, and a zippo. None were bulletproof. Edited July 9, 2007 by TerranCmdr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
