[QUOTE="soberups, post: 998831, member: 14668"] I dont know anything about gas masks. I do know that some reports are claiming that the "gas canisters" used by the lunatic were just 4th of July smoke bombs and not actual tear-gas cannisters (which are not usually available to the public). I have also heard reports that the "body armor" worn by the lunatic was not armor at all, but merely a "tactical vest" bought online for around $100 that is used to store magazines and other gear. There is a great deal of confusing and conflicting information out there about what really happened and what guns and gear were actually worn and used by the shooter. I have stated numerous times in this thread that an armed theater-goer probably would not have affected the outcome of the massacre. Consider this, however. Even if the shooter was wearing level III or IIIa armor....a hit to the torso would likely have broken one or more of his ribs and knocked the wind out of him. Body armor...soft armor at least.... does [I]not[/I] allow the wearer to just stand there and keep shooting while bullets bounce off of him. Getting shot while wearing it is, I am told, like getting hit in the chest with a ball-peen hammer. It is excruciating, it can break ribs, and knock you to your knees and make you puke. There is also the chance that a lucky shot might have hit the gunman in the head, or hand, or the foot, or actually struck and disabled the weapon he was using. While unlikely, it is certainly within the realm of possibility. What [I][B]is [/B][/I]100% certain...is that an [I]unarmed[/I] person has absolutely [I]zero[/I] chance against a lunatic with a gun.
