ABSOLUTELY. BUT don't bitch about price gouging. THEN list AR Bolts (ONLY) for $85. [Sarcasm2]

This is so refreshing. It's been a while since we've had a "it's price gouging/no, it's supply and demand" argument. They always go so well.
Ok, I'm going to jump into this for no other reason than Jim Beam Devils Cut. [dig]
I've done quite a bit of research into plates (no real or even pretend research on my part beyond Google) and much of it started from Mick Boy's work gear thread. https://www.ar-15.co/threads/110033-...-(what-and-why)
From what I've read, M855 is the best 5.56 for defeating ceramic based armor plates and XM193 is the best for AR500 based plates. I know this is somewhat simplistic and I'd own AMI plates if they made XL but there seems to be a reason for m855.
Either way, please flame on and help me refine my understanding of 5.56 -vs- body armor.
The biggest issue I see with the price gouging is I feel like we are eating our own. We are gouging fellow 2A lovers. It's no wonder we can't band together and get anything done when we would cut each others throats. It's not like we are screwing liberals here, we are screwing ourselves.
The biggest issue I see is why do you care what someone asks for an item when someone else is willing to pay that price? Not trying to start another war...but we've been down this road a hundred times.
What? No depleted uranium?
