Class:1
Color: MM14
This is a Surplus item in excellent condition.
You never know where an enemy bullet or debris will come from, so it is worth taking maximum care of your safety in advance. The M-Tac brand has developed shoulder protection with ballistic packages for a plate carrier, which significantly increases the area of protection of the fighter's body. The product is a compact shoulder module that provides anti-fragmentation protection for the biceps, shoulder joint and arteries.
It is recommended to attach this protective element to the M-Tac gorget with ballistic packages. The shoulder protection is attached to the shoulder part of the plate carrier using Velcro. A plastic frame with a D-ring lock serves as a connecting element and helps to remove the shoulder system if necessary. Special attention was paid to the anatomical shape of the product when developing the shoulder protection. The module is designed in such a way that the height of attachment to the plate carrier is adjustable thanks to a vertical strap with Velcro. The shoulder protection is also adjustable according to the volume of the arm and is fixed with a special horizontal strap.
Significant efforts of the designers were aimed at preserving the fighter's maneuverability when using shoulder ballistic protection. Such a design does not conflict with other elements of equipment and provides a sufficient degree of freedom of movement.
The shoulder pads are made of Cordura 500D and are equipped with ballistic bags that protect against ricochets and fragments. The armor bags are made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and comply with STANAG 2920 with a V-50 fragmentation resistance index of about 614.5m/s.
To understand the analogy with bulletproof resistance, an armor package with a similar composition corresponds to class 1a (9x18 APS) according to DSTU 4103-2002 and class 1 (9x18 APS, 9x19 Luger) according to the new DSTU 8782:2018 (Class 1a, 1 refers to the equivalent in composition, which is tested on standard 400x400mm samples. Therefore, the resulting injury may differ on samples of smaller size and shape).
Made in Ukraine.
