Military Heavy Bulletproof Vest/IOTV Dummy 13

One word and one word only. BULLETPROOF!

FEATURES

Will 100% make your Dummy 13 seriously bulletproof.

The armor has throat protection, deltoid (Shoulder/upper arm area) protection, side protection, lower back and side protection, abdomen protection, and groin protection. Basically, it protects everything above the legs. 

Armor also has a rig equipped with 2 AR magazine pouches and 2 sidearm magazine pouches as well as a backpack.

The groin protector is on 2 hinges, allowing the legs to retain full movement.

 

HISTORY

The Improved Outer Tactical Vest, or IOTV was the replacement of the OTV (Outer Tactical Vest) component of the Interceptor multi-threat body armor (IBA) system, with increased armor, even distribution of weight, increased mobility and flexibility, and the ability to fall apart when a lanyard is pulled, allowing for escape and access to injured body parts. The IOTV is the standard body armor of the U.S army through 2007-Present, but is being phased out and replaced by the MSV (Modular Scalable Vest), which was introduced back in 2018.

ATTRIBUTES

An IOTV fully equipped with all of its armor (neck protection, side protection, etc), weighs around 30 pounds, or 14 kg, while a large IOTV weighs about 35 pounds, or 16 kg. 

An IOTV not equipped with ballistic ceramic plates has the ability to stop 124 grain 9mm FMJ at 1,400 ft/s with just the soft armor panels. The IOTV can be equipped with a variety of armor plates, including SAPI (Small Arms Protective Insert), E-SAPI (Enhanced Small Arms Protective Insert), and X-SAPI plates (X Threat Small Arms Protective Insert). With these plates, the IOTV can stop significantly bigger rounds, with the E-SAPI being able to stop up to .30-06 Springfield M2 AP rounds.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you can't get the vest to go over the frame, make sure there is a gap between the back of the vest and the side armor:

If you can't get the groin protection to fit onto the waist armor hinge, then sand down the bumps on the armor first.
