Posting with one in stock should be a crime.
StupidFaceKevin@reddit (OP)
There was only six in stock when I found the deal and posted it soon after. They have other level IV plates for $99 but they were older and heavier
USSZim@reddit
The other set they have in stock, 4400, are relabeled Hesco for Gator Hawk.
I could be wrong, but I believe the set in your OP are lighter because they do not have edge to edge coverage. It looks like they have a foam ring around the ends.
StupidFaceKevin@reddit (OP)
the 4400's have been out of stock for a while now but are still featured on the website for some reason. the other set I saw looked really beat up and i figured at 17 lbs they were likely steel plates. but they're out of stock now too so don't have a link
Aware_Donkey_6074@reddit
If you’re wearing 17 pound plates you’re hoping a bullet will hit you in the neck and put you out of your misery 🫠
TheOtherKFC@reddit
Don't worry - if they are steel plates, the spall with get ya. 😉
USSZim@reddit
Oh yeah you are right, I thought those were the ones you were talking about.
bubbathedesigner@reddit
Made of cast iron just like god intended?
StupidFaceKevin@reddit (OP)
oos
Ready-Landscape6007@reddit
Thanks a lot for buying all of them.... Asshat
bubbathedesigner@reddit
Some people need 2 sets to cover their chest... ... or 4
peppersgeneralstore@reddit
Whoa botach off the banned list? Nature is healing
SargeantSlaughter24@reddit
Why were they banned anyway?
Angrypirate901@reddit
They absolutely suck ass and should still be banned
flaxon_@reddit
They're pretty notorious for bait and switch BS, and used to get a lot of grey market stuff. Other than a lot of general stuff like selling items listed as in stock that are actually backordered, long shipping delays, and poor customer service.
420Swagnum7@reddit
Not sure if this is grounds for it, but their security was (and probably is still) shit, and customer info was leaked in a huge breach. That was several years ago.
Then last year I got a cute little spam email with my address and name, whereupon somebody had threatened to do evil things to me. Thanks Botach!
peppersgeneralstore@reddit
Way before my time, don’t really know… but their name has been whispered here many times “unofficially”
cannabination@reddit
Note those are 8 years old.
x3r0h0ur@reddit
how does this effect the flavor?
cannabination@reddit
Evidently some of the bonding agents start to break down around 5-7 years in, which primarily affects a plate's ability to maintain multihit functionality.
Bmil@reddit
Interestingly enough, I threw a bunch of rounds through some 12 year old armor and it held up perfectly fine. Condition of how it’s kept is more important than exact age
Pickle_riiickkk@reddit
These surplus police plates are “theoretically” good to go.
95% chance that they sat in a fat street cop’s active shooter bag
Ceramic places don’t “expire” per-se like food, but micro cracks can form over time from regular use that affect the integrity
cannabination@reddit
I'm sure that's true and am considering buying some anyway at that price, just thought it should be noted.
Bmil@reddit
It’s tempting for sure lol, $100 for 2 plates is great if they’re in good shape
cannabination@reddit
Oos anyway, lol. There were only 4 sets.
Bmil@reddit
Well that’s easy lol
jetbuilt1980@reddit
They werent even tap and torque tested...probably would've been fine but botach states they did zero inspections on them.
NoobRaunfels@reddit
Bot OOS
StupidFaceKevin@reddit (OP)
I'll make a note to only post future deals I find that have 10k+ units in stock lol
NoobRaunfels@reddit
Hah yeah. I was stoked to grab a set, but tagging the bot means other people won’t be as disappointed as I was. All good
Mahlegos@reddit
Only OP can get the post marked OOS by the way.
NoobRaunfels@reddit
I always forget this. D’oh
StupidFaceKevin@reddit (OP)
Ahhhh, that makes more sense. i thought you were saying the poster (me) was a bot because the item is already out of stock lol
MADunn83@reddit
I wouldn’t trust PD trade-in plates. Heat is the biggest degrader of ceramic armor. These plates probably sat in the trunk of a car for years in the Tennessee summers.
GodGunCountry@reddit
Who the fuck bought all of it? Ok see you on gafs you fucker.
lesmobile@reddit
they have other lvl4 plates at that price. details are scant tho
TooEZ_OL56@reddit
honestly probably another pd dept with even older plates haha
Elisha_Mishima_5@reddit
sounds nice when local agencies give a shit about the taxpayer
katherinesilens@reddit
I dunno about giving a shit about the taxpayer. When you got very few taxpayers your budget is gonna be small, regardless of feeling.
GodGunCountry@reddit
Lol
MOF1fan@reddit
Used plates sound safe
StupidFaceKevin@reddit (OP)
Obviously not as safe as new/unused. More than likely safer than no plates. And for $99 it's good enough to let your buddy use when the zombies come
Trope360@reddit
People make comments like this, and at this price just buy 2 sets and test one yourself. I had a buddy get some old european ceramic plates, they were light and way expired but I want to say he paid $30 each and got half a dozen, we were convinced they'd be near useless. We shot one the fuck up, and it was pretty amazing. Took 9mm, 300blk, 556, 762 all from about 5 ft no problem. It wasn't til we took a 45-70 lever action to it, if I remember correctly, after it'd been shot by everything else, that we really got through it and it still didn't pass all the way through but def deformed it an inch or so that we concluded that woulda messed you up.
TazBaz@reddit
Know what you’re buying.
Treat them as training plates. Or community defense supplies. Or ammo test targets. Or you’re just on a budget- used L4’s are still better than soft armor
johnlarthur@reddit
There were 3 left when I ordered mine. Gotta be fast on this sub! 🤣
A-10goBrrrt@reddit
OOS you fucking dogs
Sonic_Is_Real@reddit
Id buy this just to shoot
A-10goBrrrt@reddit
Shoot me while I have it on /s duh
ScubaLooser@reddit
Damn I wanted a pair to train in.. OOS
spank_the_tank@reddit
Weight of 12 pounds for two level 4’s is pretty good right?
lancerevo98@reddit
Better than any of the level 4s I own and paid way more for lol
StupidFaceKevin@reddit (OP)
I think it's decent. Botach has another used set of level IV for $99 thats 17 lbs.
King_of_Teets@reddit
Out of stock:(
