Have been told these "must" be wrapped in added Kevlar to prevent death from fragmentation, but am struggling to find "facts".Response by LCDR Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 12 at 2018 4:09 PM2018-06-12T16:09:37-04:002018-06-12T16:09:37-04:00PFC Private RallyPoint Member3899546<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sir please pay attention to your plate carrier there will be corresponding description saying what type of plates its built for it'll specifically say steel plates.
