I know nothing about guns. I do know that ICE has body armor.
Yeah but it's improperly worn most of the time. Most of them have basic ass gun range beginner shooting stances that expose their unprotected sides to who they're facing (You're supposed aim with your chest square with the target when wearing armor)
Even with billions of dollars on hand they're still too cheap to get ++size armor and carriers for their extra big boys. Some of them are wearing plates that are pushed out to a 45 degree angle by their freakishly large beer bellies LMFAO Enjoy those copper jackets that'll lodge in your cerebellum after severing your carotid arteries you worthless Nazi fuck.
Gotta get that spalling directed to their faces
Seriously? That feels counterintuitive. But my intuition is to always protect my nuts first. It makes sense though.
more reason to go 5.56 instead of shot or slugs
slugs pack a wallop. even if you can stop it from penetrating, you have to stop it from moving
see my other comment in this thread about slugs or shot as part of a communal collective presentation of face. ideally your crew has mostly 5.56 with one person with slugs. they all have their use, but you should be defaulting to 5.56
personally i lust after the .338 so the semi-auto shotty also speaks to me. i understand the practicality of having something that you can move, aim, and afford to shoot, but something about the big boom booms just draws me.
Aim for the mask.
Or go guerilla tactics and aim for the lower limbs.
