...as well as bulletproof gloves, pants, and shoes?

When I searched, I could only find bulletproof vests and helmets.

Where and how can I find bulletproof components that cover the rest of your body? Sorry, but I'm a necrophobic or mortiphobic (someone who's afraid of death; at least more afraid than a normal person).

Also, is this the right place to talk about bulletproof armor? If not, where do I go (besides the Clothing board)?

I just did a search of the term Kevlar (which you used in your other thread) and came up with lots of eBaY auctions for gloves, shirts, etc.

I have no idea which board would discuss this sort of item. This board does not get much posting traffic.

Why do you need this sort of thing? Do you wear it when playing paintball? Maybe you could go to a thread which is more about the outdoor sport which would wear something like this, and then start there?

I don't think they make bullet proof clothing that will cover non-vital areas, not too many people die from getting shot in the arm or hand. And usually the term bullet proof is way over used, bullet slowing down is more correct, unless your wearing something with steel plates in it. And here's something to make you sleep better, they have teflon coated bullets that zip right through those "bullet proof" clothes.

Schultz,
you wont find much more than vests and helmets here. Some of the ballistic inserts called SAPIs are even illegal to own if you are not an active member of the military or law enforcement.

You may be able to find more than what yopu find here at gunnsandammoauctions.com. The kevlar gloves you see are cut and chemical resistant and have no appreciable ballistic qualities.

Go to google.com and enter your search criteria there. You should get some hits independent sellers that have ballistic armor for extremities.

Just don't got hold up a Bank of America like what happened in North Hollywood.

Dear sir, There are a few specialized companies that make this equipment. Expand your search and emphisize law enforcement balistic armor. As an active member of a special response team, the balistic, technical, and legal, information posted in the previous threads is mostly inaccurate. Please note: do not even bother trying to aquire this equipment. The companies manufacturing this protection will never give you access to it. Second, as someone sworn to protect you- and as someone who fears an armed confrontation with you- invest this money in professional psyciatric help. Your quality of life will improve, and those of us reading your frightening request for help will sleep better. Respectfully submitted, K. Kaltenborn

Bullet-proof shoes...???

Are you serious...or is this a joke ??

Even if it isn't...you live in America (or I am assuming you do)..in a society were you cannot just walk around all day in a 'suit of armor' so to speak ??

I agree with the last poster...your money would be better spent on professional help.

JMHO.

shultz,

I think you would be better off if you looked for a psychiatrist instead of body armor. You are in dire need of help, but not the kind you're looking for here.

Shultz, I agree, you should work with a professional to overcome this fear. We tend to draw/create that which we fear... Hence, our many reminders from so many different sources, such as "Fear not."

Additionally, start getting in touch with your spirituality, read about how many wise ones see death, realize it's gonna happen someday to all of us, no armor will stop it. So for a much better life, ya' might wanna get "cozy" with the idea now...death is just a doorway to another existence, a "rebirth" as many deem it. Every ending is always a new beginning...

Hey man, don't be afraid of dying. Life is short so instead of trying to avoid dying live life to the fullest. As for the gloves I know some sites for cut proof gloves that dont look horribly noticable so you can live knowing you wont get a papercut. Link for kevlar gloves. Link for the powershield x3 gloves. If you want completely bullet proof ones I think that you can get them off www.hatch-corp.com in the special tactics section but those are bulk as hell.
