scrap ESBI plate

A flat piece of salvaged steel, crudely cut and bent into the shape of an ESBI ballistic plate. It's wrapped in rags to cover the sharp edges. Better than nothing, but it's heavy, and not very strong. This is intended to be inserted into a ballistic vest, and can't be worn on its own.
