If COD taught me anything it's that riot shields can stop anything, even the gatling of a harrier jump jet.

Don't worry kids, the rockets designed to go through tanks, the average anti-material rifle, and the average gunship cannon can all be blocked by a flimsy peice of metal" - COD devs probably

The one in the OG MW2 was even worse, it was just plexiglass.

u/CT_08222 Jun 25 '23
It’s never made of plexiglass, irl they are a compound of different clear material to make a bulletproof glass-plastic-other shit shield.

u/CT_08222 Jun 25 '23
That is not a flimsy piece of metal, it’s a mixture of Kevlar fibers, ceramic, and other materials, steel is only a small portion of it.
And some shields can really stop the 50. BMG cartridge, I think one managed to stop the 20mm cannon round.
(Used on the harrier if I am correct, however it would be API from a jet, the test was done with FMJs)

Thats a real horrifying bruh, moment. If he had stayed in formation he might have been hurt but probably didn’t have to lose his leg and maybe die.

What kind of woke "gotchya" question is that? Grenades are horrifying implements of destruction regardless of who they are tearing apart. Period. Per another commenter the dude survived with both legs so that's interesting. I am a US Citizen who has never even left the country. I'm not going to sit behind a keyboard and pretend to know anything about this conflict on the other side of the planet. I believe all peoples have the inherent God given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But, this is their fight, not mine. It doesn't change my analysis.

Until they infringe upon that right of others by becoming the boot of the state.

Back in service? He didn’t learn his lesson?

u/Comorcus Jan 17 '23
Lmao, He got promoted for this stunt and from the last news about him they still call him by his rank so he probably still stick around.

That damn tactical "Good Idea Fairy" just cost that dude his leg if not his life.

u/Hewlett-PackHard Jan 17 '23
Not to mention anyone else in the shrapnel radius who wasn't protected by his shield being in place. He fucked his whole squad, not just himself.

u/CT_08222 Jun 25 '23
No, he has all but three toes.
He made a full recovery, with all three legs, both feet, and two big steel balls

I know y’all be talking about him being alive but no, while fragmentation grenades are know for their ability to fragment and send those fragments into soft tissue, they gain the ability to fragment in the first place due to an explosion which creates a very powerful and violent shockwave, maybe less than a offensive grenade however have a shockwave nonetheless, the guy just felt that shit pass through his leg into one of the biggest blood vessels in his body, he is for sure dead.

Two questions: 1: How did the rioters obtain an M67? 2: Where is this taking place (my money is on Chicago or deep South)?

u/KingBenjamin97 Jan 17 '23
Well the flag behind them is from Thailand and the writing on the shields (aside from the word “police”) sure isn’t English so like you’re probably a fair bit off there bud
