ACU Interceptor Vest at Landwarrior Airsoft

OptimusPrime

Landwarrior Airsoft has on its new items list the ACU Interceptor Vest, which is a good addition to your ACU loadout.  The real ACU interceptor vest can stop .9mm rounds but cannot stop .44 magnum ammo. The vest will stop other, slower, moving fragments and is also equipped with removable neck, throat, shoulder and groin protection. The vest has a quick-release feature in which a quick tug would drop the plates off of the vest if ever needed.

The US Army is developing the Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV) to issue to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is lighter by three pounds and increases the amount of area that can be protected than the current Interceptor Outer Tactical Vest.

But for airsoft use, who wants the extra weight of the real one if only to protect players from plastic bbs?

An nice copy of the real Interceptor system. Interceptor is a type of body armor fielded by the U.S. military. It is more effective than traditional bulletproof vests and is currently replacing a previous version of body armour known as Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT). Materials for Interceptor were developed by DARPA in the 1990s and a contract for production was awarded to DHB Industries' Point Blank Body Armor, Inc by the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center.

 This set comes with 7 pouches:

  • 4 x Double M4 Magazine Pouches
  • 2 x Grenade Pouches
  • 1 x Large Utility Pouch
