Also, while it’s hard to tell from pictures and videos, it doesn’t look like the ERO ICE fucks are running ceramic plates in their vests. The way they’re moving around while wrestling people on the ground the videos I’ve seen looks way more nimble than I ever was in full plates.
If I’m right, and again I wouldn’t stake anything on it from just videos and images, they’re just running with 3a soft armor which provides stab protection and protection from handgun calibers. 5.56 wouldn’t notice a difference between that or a north face shell.
Those helmets barely stop 9mm. Any high-velocity rifle round would go through them. They really only wear them to stop shrapnel.
Also, as I know from experience, they do very little against blunt force from behind.
