    Default Good Kevlar Vest Prices

    Im looking for a new Kevlar Vest For air-softing, my old one ripped.

    if your from Alberta: Have you been to West Edmonton mall lately? did you look in Sarge's Surplus? If so did you see the prices for a Diamondback Vest? Preferably in Flecktarn camo or Olive drab. im to lazy to go there and look since it is quiet late.

    If your American: Know a store that i could order a new Kevlar vest?

    It won't be kevlar, but good enough for what you're probably wanting.

    They have inexpensive tactical vests and LBE's. It's decent and cheap enough to use for paintball/airsoft. One deputy sheriff that I attended a carbine course with had one of there $50 MOLLE vests and he loved it.

    They are usually cool to deal with. I've ordered magazines and bulk ammo from them...no complaints.

    That's really mean. Just because ONE guy jokes around on the internet, you have a BF (bitchfit) and state that NONE of us gets out.

    And you're right, you shouldn't ask this here. You should ask Google. And if you can't get your answer from Google. Join the bandwagon of failures on the internet.

    Sorry lol.

    I tried to find a decent Canadian supplier, but they're all ridiculously expensive.

    I would say try to go for a cheap MOLLE vest (maybe like a Ranger Rack or something) and add/arrange pockets as you see fit. But you are probably already privy to this lol.

    Protect from Retort Wounds, looks better then walking out with a Echo shirt on, Gives you the real (or closest) feel of war. Helps you carry extra Clips and Suppresses, Maybe a Extra 6x Scope or Acog Scope, Fore grips Ect ect.

    A kevlar vest is probably going to run you a few hundred dollars.

    I'm also with you on this one. Its more of a thrill playing without kevlar vests because you're more concerned about not getting hit. And more adrenaline pumps into you, making it even more thrilling.

    I think a kevlar vest is a bit too much. Maybe you're just too airsoft. [insert ultros picture]

    Also, if you want to do fake fighting, you should take up sword-fighting instead.

    Any stupid inbred redneck ******** can fire a gun. There is no romance in it whatsoever.

    Not only is sword-fighting more intimate, but it actually takes some real skill as well.

    But its still rather useless against a gun, weather it requires more skill or not.

    What's your point? We're talking about fake fighting. It's not like airsofting (whatever that is, I'm assuming it's like paintballing) is going to prepare him for any real world situation he might have to use a gun in anyway (in the extremely unlikely event that a situation requiring a gun should even ever occur).

    My point was that there is nothing cool/romantic about using a gun, because they are very easy to use. If you want to feel badass, take up the guitar or something, shit.

    Wow, someone needs some




    Think of airsoft (I've only watched games, never played) as playing a FPS, except not having your ass glued to a couch.

    Any idiot can swing a sword too. However, skill/tactics can be applied to almost anything.

    Unfortunately, (as dumb as it sounds) he is more likely to get into a situation with a gun. I highly doubt he will get into any sword fights with people. lmao

    There is nothing romantic or intimate about a sword fight lmao. And feeling bad ass is based on what the person is interested in. Some people prefer modern fighting over old school fighting.

    Either way there is no ROMANCE in combat, both guns and swords were invented for the exact same purpose. That is to kill.
