WTB a good bullet proof vest. New pics inside!

I've been told our +P+ rounds will penetrate our vests...

but, murphy's rule of gunfighting: always remember your equipment was made by the lowest bidder.

AMEN!!!!!


we changed our ammo because it wasn't penetrating! yep you heard right!

Ok, any distance, and Where is the range?

Devil Dog... Ive won this bet before with a broke down used up Pasgt 30$ vest... My point is Yes they were designed for fragments.

Think about it. Fragments that are tungsten, moving at balistic speeds in excess of some pistol calibres.

If you really want to do this, email me. Ill take your money. and I keep the rest of the vest for pannels.

E-mail sent. Ok, FITS, Inc. I'll call them and set up something this weekend. It's in Slidell. 7 yards with a 9mm range round. 1 shot, 1 full penetration of the front panel of the vest. $100.

Also, fragments are not just bullet fragments. Further, fragments don't all move at balistic speeds.

BRPD, right? one of ya'als rounds had no trouble penetrating the table in the classroom at the range a few months ago jk man

well i also have a flak jacket that also stopped a 9mm round at 5 yards. it didnt even go through 4 layers.

 

[7mmremmag]

this is the one i have and i will also bet 200 bucks that a 9mm round wont go through it.

and heres a link to the vest

Go see the thread 'The Bet' and you'll see a real world test by a well known guy. I haven't seen anything showing it will stop a 9mm round.

 

[7mmremmag]

well how about i shoot it again and post a video will that be good enuf?

Hell, that would be perfect! Now remember, you need to have something inbetween the vest to simulate mass. Modeling clay works well.

will a pillow work?

 

[penguin]

will a pillow work?

No, it compresses too much and then the rear panels act in conjunction with the front panels. Also, the jacket has to be positioned so that it doesn't move. The force of the round could easily kick the jacket up or to the side which would alter the MOA on the target, causing it to go down the length of the front of the panel or just end up 'swinging' the jacket and thus changing the test results.

 

[spanky]

put a penguin in it.

 

[7mmremmag]

so how about i strap it to a tree? will that work?

 

[Quas]

So what is the update on this test?

 

[7mmremmag]

well im goin to do the test in a week!

 

[penguin]

put a penguin in it.

Ya bastard! Hey, I've got a vest too if you want to use it. Not sure how the whole tree thing will work though. Where's the test at?

 

[Quas]

A tree will not simulate the human body. I'd suggest using a sand bag sitting on a bar stool so the pressure will knock the bag backwards as if the human body wearing a vest would fall.

 

[7mmremmag]

ok i will get a sand bag and the test will probly be in my friends backyard.

its an odd thing to collect. At least if you collect guns you get to shoot them. A body armor collection is one of those things you dont want to use!

It is definitely an odd thing to collect... but hell my woman likes to collect shoes. lol

 

[7mmremmag]

lol aint that the truth
