[@JohnDoe-wz7lw]

Thank you for putting the vest against a solid medium it drives me crazy when people test armor and let the vest flop around. It wouldn't do that on your body.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Exactly true bud

[@commiesarehorrible7622]

Just bought a plate carrier and armor from Ar500. I realized it is HEAVY! This looks a little better in the weight department. I guess with armor you have a trade off with weight and protection levels.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Exactly true

Thank you, Dan

[@thereindeertherabbitthebat592]

I can't imagine the amount of hurt you'd feel after getting shot while wearing it but at least you protect the vitals. Great stuff, thanks for sharing it.

[@odadawha]

Not always the vitals got protected. Easily the hit can break ribs and broken ribs hit votals- imagine a hammer hit on your chest

[@waynecastleman1363]

Thank you F.G. for reviewing this vest. Looks like a great product and quality made for sure, it stood up to all those rounds and leaves me with the impression of a very good investment. Thanks again and Stay Strong 💪

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

Thanks for sharing Dan 😁👍🏽 The only problem with with soft body armor like this, is that an ice pick or knife could easily penetrate it, and being stabbed is a greater probability than being shot at. I believe there is stab proof soft body armor, but the price point is big $$$

[@TheFirearmGuy]

This is knife proof. I may show that with the back panel

Strapping it up to a tree was an excellent idea. Too many guntubers don't put a hard backing to provide that resistance. Good demo!

[@rbm6184]

Four pounds is a lot to carry around every day. Most bullet resistant vests have a shelf life so probably after its five year warranty its no longer effective. Many restrict movement/mobility and the added weight and its extra clothing that can overheat the body especially in warm climates. It can also be defeated by getting hit somewhere else that is vital and unprotected. I can see getting one if I knew I was going into a shooting war or for a shooting situation but not something to wear daily.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Agree for the most part. The panels can be changed. The material is breathable. No doubt that daily use would be a drag. However, using in certain environments offers great benefits

[@pabloescobar7802]

Why does everyone skip the .40 in these test ? If anything you could skip .45acp

I would have loved to have seen what the 7.5 FK Bruno round would have done.

[@Leonardokite]

It would definitely hurt, but it sure beats having big holes in your body.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

No doubt Leonard

[@lazygamer9725]

Idk this or safelife?

[@timrobinson6573]

Does it compromise the results by having the vest against a tree that doesn't give or allow the ballistic material to stretch and flex?

[@allanbrown747]

I was actually thinking the samething!!

[@NoNo_IStay]

Very little. Even a fleshy body will give quite a bit of resistance when hit with a high velocity dense object. If you've ever been cliff jumping you know how the water feels like concrete if you jump higher than 60 feet. The faster you hit the water. The less it feels like water. The vest did stop the projectiles even on the tree, so if it did affect the results you'll get more protection when wearing it.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I don't think so

[@PaulAnthonyDuttonUk]

And where would you ware it?

[@firstorder2450]

The two most dangerous rounds to vests are civil defense and 5.7 that can be penetrated due to velocity. Vests may not stop all caliber variants even calibers listed which is why they are only bullet resistant. The term bullet proof comes from medieval armor that were tested by being shot thus "bullet proof" that it could stop a bullet.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Solid points First Order

[@yuvgotubekidding]

Tree or some other media behind this vest, I think it does what it’s supposed to do. Stop rounds from penetrating.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks bud

Wouldnt be a bad idea to get one for the indoor range

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Justin

[@RidersRange]

I know you are about as solid as a tree, but most of us aren't, so there might be a little more give on us than there is on a tree. I still have an original 16mm film of Richard Davis, founder of Second Chance, shooting himself while wearing his original vest (soft body armor, not bullet proof), but no projector to view it.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Thanks Rider. Only a fool would shoot themselves intentionally

[@RidersRange]

@@TheFirearmGuy that was back in the early '70s, maybe even the late '60s, when no one trusted a bunch of fabric to stop a bullet. Davis figured the only way to convince police to buy and wear soft armor was to prove that it actually worked and didn't take the wearer out of the fight if he was hit. Here's a link to the short Smithsonian video on that first shot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6ilfX9tj5iCrLc

[@georgecherrey9246]

I'd kinda like to see a stack of about a dozen sheets of paper between the vest & tree just to see any damage. Just sayn !

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Good idea

[@alantalbott8385]

It didn't penetrate ? Well hell Dan, I was going to give one to my first wife for Christmas. I guess I'll have to find something else.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Too funny Alan

[@johnburrows1179]

I guarantee my FK Brno PSD would go right through that. F5 or F9 round. No problemo

[@timrobinson6573]

As would any other round the vest is not rated for. Your statement is idiotic.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

Will try it

[@johnburrows1179]

@@TheFirearmGuy the F5 is rated to go through 3+ at 100 yards. The F9 might at 100, but it’s more rated for DSI at 900 ft lbs. I’ve personally seen both go through 6x6 at 50 yards clean through. Would be an interesting video. Love your channel and your no bullshit approach to everything 👍

[@anthonyguidas2012]

You should try this test again when you get some 7.5FK ammunition, I bet that would go through 👍

[@TheFirearmGuy]

I have the back panel to test

[@andrewcummings6703]

So, just asking, but what happened to the 3 rounds of 10mm at the end of the video where you pulled out all the bullets? If I'm not mistaken, they weren't accounted for. Are you sure they're still not in that tree? Not trying to be rude, but I'm pretty sure they weren't with the other bullets at the end of your video.

[@TheFirearmGuy]

They are stuck in the vest. I didn't pull out all of the bullets

[@thomasdamiano8260]

The 10mm would went through if it was the civil defense round

[@docktaphil]

The human body is nothing like a tree so probably want to use something else behind it

MAYBE HE'LL TRY SOME BALLISTIC GEL OR CLAY AS BACKER NEXT TIME TO SHOW POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO HUMAN FLESH.

Suggestions?

[@Surreal6969]

Why are we advertising this for individual citizens? 🤔 This should be for law enforcement only. Are we preparing for other groups by side law enforcement? 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

[@shawnbuonarosa3188]

What's the matter, you don't believe citizens should have the means to keep themselves safe? Just Police? You don't believe a citizen should have the right to be prepared?

[@TheFirearmGuy]

So citizens shouldn't have equal protection?

[@johnnymccann5607]

I would love to shoot that beast at 100 yards away with my 22-250 at 3800 feet per second with mild steel core copper jackets .even with psp 55 grains at 100 yards will shot easily through 1/4 plate steel anythe holes look drilled with a drill press . I could be wrong but I don’t think that best of what ever it is would be able to stop it . a good video and thanks. nana and papa the hunter wishing well.

[@shawnbuonarosa3188]

Its not a level 4 plate...

[@lazygamer9725]

Its soft armor for common pistol calibers and stabbing blades.... if u want rifle protection get a fras system from safelife... flexible rifle armor system.... lighter than steel plates and u can move in it but it stops 308 30 06 3030 223 etc etc... they are pricier but gives u protection from rifle rounds....

[@timrobinson6573]

Kahr T9 is a steel framed, striker fired pistol in 9mm. It doesn't have a manual safety or a cocked hammer to dig into your side during concealed carry like a 1911 style pistol. Kahr also makes the K9 which is the compact version of the T9. Both guns come with TruGlo tritium sights from the factory. The benefit of the T9 and K9 is that they are striker fired guns so you will be used to a striker fired trigger when you finally realize steel framed pistols are silly when you could be carrying a polymer framed gun with more rounds, less weight.
