Very Impressive Body Armor

That guy didn't even flinch when the bullet hit the vest. He should have had on safety glasses. I give him KUDOS for standing behind his product....LITERALLY!

Any one know where the round and its conserved momentum deposited its remaining energy? I wonder if the cartridge might have been a sub-power light load?

That would be nice to have in case some criminal wants to shoot me. At least I know my body is protected.

The founder and owner inventor of the modren day soft body armor. Richard Davis would shoot himslef with full power 44 mag loads and I have seen videos of him being shot with 308 wearing his rifle rated armor.

This guy wasn't the frist.

Armor is nice to have on when you need it. But the trouble is that it is hot makes you sweat a lot and isn't that fun to wear.

I wore the best money could buy measured and fitted to me it still wasn't that great to wear. It was always nice to get it off at the end of a shift.

But I never went to work with out it.

But I haven't put it on from the time I retired.
