Body armor vs. practical weapons

How well does a ballistic vest protect it's owner against practical weapons?

In order to find out, The Slingshot Channel bought a German police surplus bullet/knife protection vest. It meets the German SK1 and the US IIIA standard (handgun ammo class).

Various non firearms weapons are tested, from slingshots, crossbows, even a Samurai sword. The winner hands down is the Throwing Knife Shooter - the only weapon that could penetrate the entire vest.

A "The Slingshot Channel" production!

Thumbs up if you always blink when he fires his last slingshot on the intro.

don't rob him for sure lets just say something bad is going to happen if you try

[ShadowWolfTJC]

I doubt that the armor could stand up to Joerg's Massacre Master, which is pretty much a repeating ballista that you could carry around.

Try doing that with AR500 armor...
