Talk:Ceramic plate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trauma Pads are soft material pads placed behind the SAP (soft armor plates) to lower the trauma (impatct) of the bullet being stopped by the SAP. The article calls the ceramic plates 'trauma plates'- incorrectly. Common parlance for these inserts is HAP (Hard Armor Plates) -Asim Arun —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.100.44.194 (talk • contribs) on 11:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- While you are correct I'd like to point out that the mis-use of the word is widespread, it's a catch-all phrase. A more correct general usage of the term might be simply "insert plate", since not all insert plates are made from composite materials (such as "ceramic plates", but rather steel or combinations of steel and composite example). 85.131.30.81 12:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Disagree. SAPI inserts are type of ceramic plate, but they are not the same. 72.81.115.84 01:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Sounds like a good idea Adoggz 19:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Disagree with merge. Not the same thing. Tmaull 02:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
