Original cope cages were a very misguided attempt to copy the functionality of the actual working fence-like defensive measures. Except in those cases they did next to nothing, which is why they were dubbed cope cages.
AFAICT the concept was improved since then but I haven't been following the tech tree of cobbled-together defensive measures used in that war in a good while.

- genewitch 5mo agoif anyone wants to see what the bradleys in Iraq were kitted out with, https://imgur.com/a/vCXPqUa https://imgur.com/a/vCXPqUa this is circa 2008 or so. Mentioned to a friend who always mentions that chain link fencing saved his life and now i come to find out it was just bar armor. weak! * not weak, it saved my friend's life, awesome.
