Possibly you misunderstood my intent.

I don't see my job here on BF to include detailed designs and specs. If it were, I'd expect to be paid a consulting fee.

The reality is that the ballistic protection I described is properly the job of the frame's maker rather than the owner. As a practical matter, designing, spec'ing, fabricating, heat treating, and fitting that part is beyond the capabilities of end users.

I was simply pointing out a vulnerability as something to consider in choosing a CF frame. Too often, folks get distracted and worry about the wrong thing.
