I'm going to get everything retard, this extended discussion is about the plate issue I'm very hung up over
There's no practical way to get through a level 4 plate with a single man operated weapon.
Here's the thing, even getting hit in a plate with a 556 will feel like a sledgehammer hitting your chest. It's not like the trannies are gonna be kitted up in call of duty juggernaut uniforms that make them impervious to bullets.
There are men who get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, companies than make tens of millions of dollars a year, and billion dollar nation militaries - all of which use firearms in a very serious and proffesional manner. All of them have come to the same answer for fighting against opponents with rifle rated plates.
Edit: thought I'd add this, once those veins are ruptured, you can't stop the bleeding. You can't put tourniquets on your waist or hips.
Carry a FUCK TON of ammo and shoot for the head or pelvic bowl. The head is self explanatory. But if you hit someone in the pelvic bowl, they will drop instantly, and will most likely die (if you use ammunition that fragments, like 55gr 556 out of an AR15.) The pelvic bowl is made up of 3 main bones and a number of minor ones. In the center there is the sacrum. This bone is at the bottom of the spine and if it shatters from a gunshot the victim will instantly lose the use of the legs and could potentially be paralyzed for the rest of their life. There's two bones on either side of the Sacrum, the left and right ilium. Whichever one is hit, that side's leg will be instantly rendered useless. Here's where the lethal part comes in. You essentially have 6 six! major blood vessels and arteries in the pelvic bowl. Any one of these getting perforated will cause a very quick death unless the person is already in a hospital on the operating table. You have the Abdominal Aorta(red), a giant huge fucking artery that comes directly from your heart, which splits into the left and right Iliac arteries. Then you have the Inferior Vena Cava(blue), a huge vein that puts blood directly into your heart, and the left and right ilium veins which feed it.
An AR10 is actually worse than an AR15 for defeating someone with body armor. Because to defeat someone in body armor, you need a lot of ammunition, and you need something with low recoil so you can shoot round after round and stay on target.
