Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Using a plate carrier with custom-made plates as a form of protection from knives & needles?

I live in Saskatoon and I walk down 19th st. (as to avoid 20th) or sometimes I'll take 22nd (which typically is high in traffic and pedestrians).

You bring up a completely valid argument: If you want to have a protective vest of armour then take it seriously and spend the amount required to acquire a quality & legitimate armour-vest if I may end up needing it to fend off attackers.

BUT are you really gonna tell me that my idea is COMPLETELY naive and that even if I take the time to make my custom plate(s) ergonomic, slim and durable to truly offer the same protection as legitimate kevlar vests that I'l never ascertain me objective? Are you telling me,
A) It's not worth it to try your own plate - even if you do extensive quality control testing.
B) The idea is naive and the objective is ignorant because nobody can be trusted to make their own protection-plates unless said-person is a professional?
C) It's not worth it to bother trying - regardless of how successful I conclude my plate(s) are that it's still not worth wearing because when it comes down to such a scenario - the best is the only option and home-made is completely irresponsible to wear for protection
D) All of the above
[E) None of the above]
?

Like are you just advising me against the idea because you don't feel comfortable suggesting that this idea may work? Are you telling me that even if I experimented and played around to see if it could be done that it's not worth it? Are you saying that the idea is worth attempting but until you see the outcome/research of the idea that you feel I shouldn't wear it until I make a thread in the future where I either prove or disprove my idea?
