Body armor

Seriously, did humanity just went stupid after the blackout? Body armor, tac-vests, etc. Those things don't degrade unless they are ripped up. Why isn't anyone wearing flak jackets or kevlar? Excalibur01 (talk) 23:17, 24 October 2013 (EDT)

I couldn't agree with you more there had to be an abundance of them so why didn't they grab some my other theory is the one's with strong metal in them were used to make swords or some strong blade.--Balin21 (talk) 09:48, 25 October 2013 (EDT)

I seriously doubt that theory. There are plenty of other metals that can be used to make swords and most likely tons of actual swords and long bladed weapons you can find. The material used in vests wouldn't be used to make swords. Another thing is that the Monroe soldiers have muskets but none of them have bayonets. Excalibur01 (talk) 16:01, 25 October 2013 (EDT)

Your right you think with scavenging for old rifle's they at least find a few bayonets when they found the rifles in museums and your right about the Kevlar blade my bad.--Balin21 (talk) 16:38, 25 October 2013 (EDT)

To be honest, it always bugged me that they used the muzzle loading weapons in the first place. They are all percussion cap fired ones, and I reckon there is probably a lot more 5.56mm and 9mm knocking around in America right now than there are percussion caps, which will also be a hell of a lot more sensitive to getting damp so have a much shorter post apocalyptic shelf life. In a real situation like this, the most common firearm I imagine you would see would be DIY matchlock type weapons made out of random pieces of metal tubing, rather than these museum grade weapons. As to the vests, they wouldn't have been destroyed to make swords as the vast majority of vests in the US will be soft armor only with a kevlar (or comparable material) insert. If they do have plates it is more likely that they will be made of a composite ceramic, metal is pretty old school and comparatively rare these days. --commando552 (talk) 17:25, 25 October 2013 (EDT)I think it is pretty much just a goof as to why they aren't being used these days

Well the show does take place 15+ years after humanity lost the ability to use electronics to make bullets, so all the constant fighting would have most likely used up a LOT of the ammo that's been floating around america and the world and many most likely began hoarding what is left. I am a bit surprised that humanity didn't revert back to pre electric means of making guns and ammo in 15 years. I was half expecting people to be using old percussion revolvers, sharps carbines that load paper into it or other types. There are certainly plenty of those around.

For the first time they finally used Body Armour used by the Texas Rangers when they captured Monroe.--Balin21 (talk) 21:07, 30 October 2013 (EDT)
