Its effective against stabbing. Are you in an area prone to such things?

Pogo_Marimo posted...
The real question is, is it riveted or not? That's how you know if he's a true sergeant or just a poser.

Edit: It's fucking not. A mamluk saber would bust those rings like dried bark. Bah!


Yeah, hes kinda missing the point if its garbage armor. But maybe hes just building up his stamina by wearing it every day until he can get the good stuff.

This is the kind of shit that makes me miss undergrad. You never know what you're gonna see, and the results can be hilarious and memorable.

After undergrad, the chainmail-wearers/weebs/bronies/general oddballs make way for cookie-cutter cube jockeys who make too many puns, frequently post passive-aggressive signs in the break room, and ask every new hire "iS a HoT dOg A sAnDwIcH??" The cube jockeys are way less endearing. Enjoy the classroom weirdos while you can.

That's weird.

Ask him if he knows if chainmail stops bullets or not. Then wink at him.

I'd get it if the area is notorious for stabbings. Or if he was stabbed/threatened before.

Are you in a stab city TC?

I'm in Fairfax, so the amount of violent crime here may as well be 0.

Chainmail is not particularly effective against stabs. It's the main reason most professional soldiers switched to breast plates/cuirasses or brigandines by the late middle ages, with chainmail used to fill in gaps like the armpits, backs of knees, crotch, ect.

It's my general catch all for knife attacks. Knifings sounds weird, and slashing sounds like a movie trope. To me, at least.

It's true. It's butted mail instead of riveted, meaning the only thing keeping it together is the force of friction between the tips at the end of the rings. Maille was almost never made this way historically because it could be easily pried apart by impact. It's a cheap "imitation" armor for larping, essentially.

Bulletproof vest and stab vests are not qualitatively comparable pieces of equipment. You might as well say a bulletproof vest is a "weak ass stab vest" because most won't stop a knife unless it has a ceramic or metal insert.

Well yeah ive had neither so yeah assumptions based on what ive read. I was looking into them because im about to go into that line of work and the description said it MAY stop some bullets but otherwise it shouldn't be considerer bullet proof.

Indeed, it's counter-intuitive. You'd think "A bullet-proof vest can stop a steel-jacketed bullet going 2500 feet per second, of course it could stop wimpy Dave with a knife" but nah. The engineering that goes into these things is ridiculous.
