Body Armor Shooting Test

[steelhorses2004]

I believe that is the armor that was recalled because it failed in some cases

[jandarmul2000]

hello, do you have any idea what happens if i have two level II vests and use all the inserts on only one vest? so i would have a vest with two soft panels in each pocket. will the protection level increase?

[RayAir1]

That's the zylon vest isn't it? The one they tried saying would't stop bullets.

[Stizogm]

@RayAir1 Rifle bullets.

[tacticoolness]

I Really would like to see the effects of a 12 gauge Rifled Slug, 

[Ronin72Uk]

ur supposed to make the figure wear the vest not eat the dam thing the target thinks its a cheese burger lol

[Hateyouhatingme]

Even without plates, nice.

[bobwatters]

wow thats some pretty good results i thought the 44mag would go through for sure but i guess not

[badmintonho]

was the kevlar still stiff and pristine when you tested it or did it feel more loose? i have a piece dated from 03 it feels really loose when i rub it or pick it up compared to newer pieces and i dont have a pistol to test it

[GunWebsites]

@badmintonho

I donnt remember anymore, that was a year ago.. but I think how often it was worn would be an issue.. this stuff was worn daily for it's legal lifespan before we shot it

[X2Cfan2C]

penetration isnt always what kills concussion can be just as deadly

[android17ak47]

should have finished it off with something huge, a 45/70 would have been nice haha.

[StealthyTyler0425]

even if ur wearing this, its still gunna leave a mark

[jakeblack1982]

how about using FMJ with a FN Five seveN Pistol

[mepuddingz]

try throwin a 50 cal deagle at it

[GunWebsites]

@mepuddingz

no

[tubevideoguy762]

@GunWebsites Just wondering why. Do you think that the .50 AE would puncture the armor>

[stealthbeast]

@mepuddingz Though in all seriousness, yes IIIA will stop .50AE.

[QUESTED]

@mepuddingz Go away

And if you wana see some penetration wait until your dad gos to work

then follow your mom to the neighbors house and peek thought the windows

[QUESTED]

@mepuddingz JK dude

if the vest did get show with a 50. it would stop it..., But Im thinking the force alone

would mess you up real bad (INTERNAL BLEEDING)

[DenKulesteSomFins]

@mepuddingz i hope there isnt any shots in it then

[grizz474]

I wonder if a person took a 44mag to the chest while wearing that vest (or any soft vest) if it wouldn't kill em anyway.Or at least it would do alot of damage,possibly stop your heart?

[F1X0R121]

@grizz474 It would hurt like hell and still do you a lot of damage. I'd rather have the armour on though.

[Mulletboi86]

expect of have some broken bones if you were to wear this and being shot at.....hopefully it wont be at point blank range...lol

[badmintonho]

you think you could do a shooting test for 2a kevlar

[GunWebsites]

trust me.. we'll shoot whatever armor we can get our hands on, LOL

[Hatikva12]

i have a level 2 vest from Jan of 1990, old police vest, im just wondering if it will stop any type of round

[badmintonho]

i got an iba with esapis and soft inserts. however, the soft inserts are old, made in 03...do you know if these are 2a or 3a? doesn't say, but they feel a bit thin.

[GunWebsites]

2 is much thinner than 3

[badmintonho]

are you purposely using older vests to test quality? assuming the newer ones will do an even better job at stoping rounds?

[GunWebsites]

nope, we are just shooting at the vests we had available..

nothing planned about this, we were shooting one night and one of the guys had these old vests so we shot them..

[giordanoev]

is second chance ultima level 3a similar to second chance ultima level sk1. this last one come from germany and is the same of us 3A?

[janius777]

sk1 is quite tougher I suppose

9 mm steel jacket in sk1 is harder to stop at ca. 410 m/s than US version

I think sk 1 is likely to have a greater margin of safety but you cannot generalize this

[lynette1953]

do u think it might go through if the vest was wrapped around a more solid surface?

[GunWebsites]

we are planning to find that out..

we are trying to decide what material to use to put the vests on that will mimic a body

[lynette1953]

maybe a hay bail might work .or a dead pig or maybe a boxing maniquen.

[GunWebsites]

good ideas.. next we need to find something cheap (and less gross than a dead pig)

hay bails are all over and cheap... might try that

[lynette1953]

lololol. yeah go with hay :)

[davenorr84]

@GunWebsites duct tape it to a 80lb punching bag.. they're not to expensive ~$60 .. plus if the vest works, you can relieve some stress :) bale of hay isnt dense enough to mimic a body. those boxing maniquens are EXPENSIVE.

[lynette1953]

good lord that 40 has soooooooooo much energy

[GunWebsites]

Oakley Factory SI Glove

we did a few reviews on our Gear Channel

search watch?v=WCjSytfnkEI

[str8violent]

what type of gloves was the guy wearing ?

[aalonsorobert]

do yall sale any of those vest? new ones or ones that havent been shot at?

[GunWebsites]

no we are not a store or anything

Our websites have links to manufacturers and a few stores though
