The email exchange between these guys and an Indian armourer with great photos on their Facebook page or ebay account would be the stuff of dark comedy.

Whatever these guys get might well impose a DX penalty or excess FP-loss, have unnecessarily large Chinks in Armour or exciting mechanical failures, but buying armour which more-or-less works is not that hard. I am not sure about the rifle-resistant part, but regular plate armour is a buyer's market.
