Ok I hve read the discussions on paintball and airsoft and using Halo pepakura armor or casted armor for these kind of events, and I have to give my thoughts on the matter. I honestly don't see a problem with it, most airsoft people go out into the field with a tactical vest, a Swat helmet, gloves, army bdu's and play shoot each other with plastic pellets. Now you look at Spartan pep armor and it's been fiberglassed, resined, bondoed, and painted. you are pretty much wearing the durability of that swat helmet that other airsoft people use except the protection is all over your body. Now these are plastic pellets travelling at about 200FPS. They will do some cosmetic damage to the armor which to effect you can repair, but it is still a bad idea I think if you spend up to or over 3 months of work working on a suit, just to go out and put holes into it. Now as for paintball that's another story, if you want to spend a lot of time making a suit spending a lot of time painting it then go out and get hit with more paint colors that's your thing but expect to get the suit you spent a lot of time working on damaged just as badly as going out and doing airsoft. In the long run the people that want to make Halo armor for airsoft if you want to dedicate your time and energy to make a suit just to damage it all to hell go for it. As for the people who say this is danger to safety I don't see any problem there I went out in pep spartan armor when I had my suit and all I had was cosmetic damage that I could just spackle bndo on it sand it and good as new. But I did'nt have any cuts or anything like that to myself. Now what are other peoples opinion on this matter?
