FAKE

@jimbean1771 you don't understand, he shoots at that circle because if the bullet was to go through it wouldn't hit any major organs. He knows what he's doing.

[Vasey105]

Yes, but I don't think Steven Segal is going to be in any gun battles. This jacket is designed to stop an assassination attempt or something of the sort.

[jimbeen1771]

he always shoots at that circle. i want to see it get tested on the regular material if you know what i mean

[scottbaioisdead]

so you're saying this is fake? maybe you should tell president obama, since he uses this guys clothing, as well as the us army. do some research

[TheJadedJames]

Actually no. In military/police training te encourage you to go for the center of mass. And in the heat of gun battles people aim for their target in general. Even with a vest, any shot that is not a graze will be good enough to take down your opponent for a while, even if they don't die from it. And if you have an automatic weapon the bullet resistant fibers will eventually breakdown after taking multiple hits. Hell, in paintball I've only been headshotted once! And that was not on purpose.
