I was just wanting a little education on vest/body armor effectiveness. It is just a curiosity thing. Not wanting any belive me. But was wondering with recent happenings, what can be done against it? anything? Would it just be a helpless situation? Would shots at least knock the perp around or knock the wind out of him? I'll have to look it up but, during the North Hollywood shootout it seems like I remember the LEOs getting desperate and acquiring hunting rifles from a store to be more effective against the body armor. Is this correct? Just a very scary scenario to me.
