How many of you have armor that are not MIL/LEO? Just checking if I am crazy 
|
| I bought some so I could shoot it. It's inexpensive on ebay and the results of my test firing surprised me. The next to newer Kevlar stopped 50 ae, though the punch would prolly blow up your insides without the need to penetrate, it stopped stinger 22's from a rifle, but not .22 hornet. Buy it and shoot it, its great. |
I participated in a ballistic study with a major body armor maker when I was a LEO at little over 10 years ago. We took the oldest most abused dept. owned vests we could find put them on torso's made of ballistic gel. and shot the crap out of them with everything carried by our department, except for rifles. They still stopped every round put through them as if they were new. Most were several years beyond their expiration date. It was fun to shoot up all of those vests too. Sorry didn't mean to highjack the thread |

Military and LEO. Buy my own and am issued from Army and Department. Got to say when you need it and don't have it, don't come complain to me that you weren't able to buy it. Just wait til we won't be able to purchase it anymore. Than see who starts complaining. Eventually body armor sales will be banned to all civilains. Same as the NEXT weapons ban is sure to happen soon. Join NRA and stop all this. |
