    Would this adjust and fit a small frame guy 5’6 145 ? If not would you recommend the micro carrier for my size ? Thank you to anyone who can guide me the right way I’m a newbie

    This is definitely on the smaller side of their vests. My younger brother is about the same size as you and has trained with this vest and it fit him perfect. It is on the heavier side with the plates though so just get ready to feel that weight. Buy some shoulder pads they make a huge difference.

    Even if the bullet doesn't penetrate, the force applied to the front will be transfered to the back of the plate(and into your chest). Trauma pad absorbs that impact. Yes, the force can be enough to kill you even without penetration. With steel plates, you should always run trauma pad and anti-spall
