    People mocking Chinese qualities needs to realize this: your average Walmart stuffs are manufactured by Chinese country-side factories usually run by local farmers. More premium products such as Lenovo or other non-apple electronics are manufactured by better factories in smaller cities. Apple/Tesla/Huawei products are manufactures in larger cities with better facilities. And then there is military gears and equipments that got the best of the best manufacturing assets and talents. It's a tiered system with a vast talent pool, and Chinese military complex can pick the best talents and the process to serve its mission.

    I was in the People’s armed police force in China, technically not the PLA but we got the same gear. That helmet is 120% not a real issued one especially if you bought it online. I’ve seen very good copies but you can’t expect to get your hands on real gear from a country that protects it’s high school exam papers with special forces usually deployed around nuclear weapons

    There was a big scandal in Taiwan in early this year where a Taiwanese congress legislator sent their helmet and plates to the US and compared them with Chinese (Official/AliExpress) and American kits. They found out American kits are the best in overall protection and deformation, while Chinese kits offered similar protection but with much cheaper price. Taiwanese kits came in last with the worst protection and very expensive price. The whole fiasco forced Taiwanese MoD to announce development of level IV plates (whereas they only had level III for their infantry in the past).

    Papa thumb, I thought an interesting idea for a video would be comparing different AR-15 barrel lengths head to head in real time.
    Impact on ballistic dummies, flight times to target at longest ranges, thoughts on felt recoil, suppressed/non suppressed muzzle reports, muzzle breaks volume on different lengths, how it could effect split times on target, etc. 10.3 all the way up to 20inch barrels.
