Of course, part of the problem with soft armor is that Kevlar fibers become less effective across the armor as you shoot them. So every bullet weakens the armor giving it less stopping power for future bullets. Had you shot that slug at the front piece, it probably would have gone straight through as well.

One thing to note is the armor has technically already been used, and is well past its rated damage threshold by the time you shot it with .44. Try it again on a clean hoodie, center mass instead of up at the edge of the armor, would be a way better, more fair 3A test. Im not expecting it to still be 3A all AFTER getting hit with .22, 9mm, .357 and .45acp, because thats a grossly unrealistic expectation, unless 6 people with 6 diff guns hit you 1 after the other (never gonna happen)

[@neoprofin]

It literally stopped all of them that it's rated for. That's 3A. No one who knows anything about ballistics, soft armor, or firing tests would have a problem with this. If you served, you know that un-less you have hard plate you're still going to have a bad day when you get shot. But you're still alive, you don't need someone to reinflate your lung or seal it, you're not bleeding out of your back from an exit wound that no one noticed because they didn't check under your vest. I understand your complaint that when they opened up on full auto it was already compromised, but it wasn't rated to stop that in the first place. That was just having fun. If you want to take point-blank full auto at point blank range, you might want to roll in a tank not a hoodie.

The BE armor is a good deal thicker than the armor shown in this video but it is still quite stealthy. (Although I do appear as to have spent a fair bit more time in the gym than I actually have when wearing it to most who know me closely) The positive: A.) Has been tested and found not to be lacking in it's claim to stop handguns up to .44mag 2.) Easily my best fall and winter jacket. Keeps me toasty & warm and can do so all through the night if necessary D.)

[@laxthebarsmith6951]

speed is why 9 did more than 45 on this soft armor, also the 9mm was high left on the soft armor and the 45 was more centered. the 45 was given more room to dissapate enegry across the armor

[@ElBandido_1]

That, and 45 is just mid in general

[@Animo2006]

Its really the combination of a larger surface area, heavier projectile and lower velocity that makes the .45 ACP less effective than 9mm in every way against an armored target. Against an unarmored target it performs better because its less likely to overpenetrate and deliver all of its kinetic energy to the target whereas 9mm tends to pass straight through a target if it doesn't hit bone.

Although it looks silly as an every day hoodie. Kevlar lined clothing is great for motorcyclist because of how much heat and abrasion resistance it has. This would be a super solid option for people who don't like the super rigid "armored" jackets that most riding gear stores sell.

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

heat and abrassion yes, but little to no shock absorbtion. the point of those rigid jackets is to protect your spine. and other bones, but mostly spine. broken arms heal. broken spine doesn't. of course, jacket like that is better than riding in a tshirt, but still- the armor has it's point would work a tad better if it also had kevlared arms instead of just torso. people tend to instinctually guard themselves with them, they get most damaged when sliding

[@ghostring3624]

One also has to think about the amount of blunt force trauma highly focused on these areas transmitting force to the organs behind it. The .44 mag hit at the upper sternum and fractured it… behind that lives a portion of the thoracic aorta. There’s a chance that amount of focused energy could injure the vessel even without the projectile, which can be fatal (not immediately, but possibly without proper medical attention). Also, behind the right lower rib cage lives the liver (.357 mag). That transmitted force could injure the liver, causing a significant liver laceration and bleeding that could potentially kill if not treated. Broken ribs can also cause pneumothorax and collapse the lung, which can kill. The last shot in the back with the slug could injure the spine and the spinal cord. Not to say that this is not impressive. It’s better than wearing a hoodie without the soft armor, and I would imagine would increase survivability.

[@hasanmichael4966]

These tests have been done so many times with 3A armor that these results didn’t surprise me. The way body armor works is that it spreads the force over a wide section of the armor (kinda like a trampoline, think of laying down vs standing up). This means bigger, wider faced bullets are less likely to penetrate. Speed and pointy (FMJ, Spitzer, etc.) is what defeats armor. People think 7.62x39 and 300 BLK are more likely to penetrate armor than 5.56, but it’s been proven that the light, fast 5.56 from a 20” barrel has better armor penetration capabilities. That’s why the Russians changed to 5.45. I’d like to take a 44 magnum 305gr hard cast bear load and grind the tip of the bullet to a point and then shoot it at 3A armor. I bet it would penetrate. Or maybe a hot 357 mag HC. I’m an internet specialist, not a ballistics specialist, so you don’t have to believe me. Do the research yourself.

High velocity hangun such as 5.7 would be interesting. Maybe some of the Extreme Defenders in .357 Sig (2100fps claimed) or 10mm (1825 fps claimed) would defeat it. The high velocity of those rounds would help, but the larger diameter would work against them for defeating armor.

5.7 was specifically designed to penetrate soft body armour. It would go through that hoodie without even slowing down. Same with the Tokareva's 7.62x25 round, which also has no trouble penetrating 3a panels.

Good point cause rappers did actually make fn 5.7s popular with gangbangers and criminals

[@mattmarzula]

​@@luciusrene943"Lemme git dat Tock-a-rev." "Lemme git dat Glock fo-tee." "Lemme git dat Smiff n' Westen Glock 40." Phrases I had heard quite often working at a gun store. I sold more 10mm Glock 40's than any three salesmen to guys who passed background checks who typically wouldn't. Why? Because the ATF that would come by and get copies of the paperwork within an hour of purchase completion unlocked their abilities to purchase firearms to build cases. Yet, for some reason, everyone thinks they're trying to restrict freedom for people buying guns. Big supporters of the 2nd Amendment those guys.

[@oldleatherhandsfriends4053]

The hood still wouldn't offer protection. The head trauma alone would put you down.

Might stop the bullet, won't stop the blunt force trauma. That Fort Scott ammo uses only solid copper bullets, so at .45/70 velocities it's toast.

I think the more accurate term for most products out there on the market that we can wear are bullet-resistant not bulletproof cuz if it was fully bulletproof we would never have to replace them ever. I truly believe that everything in the market that's bullet-resistant as people calling bulletproof can take on a certain amount of damage before they become compromised.

Steel plates are basically bullet proof until you exceed the rating. Kentucky ballistics had work out weights out perform real products.

[@largebills337]

This is marketed towards surgeons and forensic teams. The material makes recovery of the projectile much easier in a surgery or autopsy. It is also beneficial to the crime scene clean up team as we can see by the final demonstration where the body only turned Ma's Old Fashioned Chili after the garment was removed. Excellent performance all the way around. 😎👍🦅🇺🇸

[@EthanStenhouse-dp7ic]

Honestly Ive looked at these just for my kids as a better than nothing but also wouldn't be obvious if a shooter came in and teach him to turn and cover head down and if hit just lay down quiet. I know is still so unlikely but if this works enough and also can be concealed to not be obvious armor it may be worth it

[@largebills337]

@@EthanStenhouse-dp7ic If you live in an area where it gets cold I guess it could work out.

[@BulletproofEveryone]

The backface signature on our armor is better than most vests. But, if you shoot the same general area multiple times, and then hit an inch or so away from the edge, it's gonna push in further than it's meant to. We're in the mid 20s for backface signature on 9mm 124gr, which is better than soft armor twice as thick as ours.

[@largebills337]

@@BulletproofEveryone Just to be clear I'm not knocking your product. I think it performed well in a brutal test. Whether or not the wearer would survive boils down to the strength and health of the individual and the energy of the projectile, as well as angle of impact and distance between shooter and target. There is no question this armor provides excellent protection but a bit of luck has to be on your side as well. A 500 Magnum at two yards you're dead as disco but 9mm at twenty five yards you might go home with a bad bruise. If I was expecting to be shot at like military personnel in a hot zone I would want a plate carrier but in a situation where there might be gunfire but there is no imminent threat I would appreciate the lightness, comfort and flexibility of this product.

Someone should do 5.7 vs various body armor. Thats the hype around it so lets see it.

[@ExpatriotSilencers]

That would be a boring video because 5.7 would penetrate easily. It was specifically designed to penetrate soft armour. I've tested a Tokarev (7.62x25) which is less powerful, against a lvl 3a vest and it went right through. Same vest stopped full power 44 Mag.

The Monitor is a BAR variant. Colt and FN both made a bunch of different versions with different features in the interwar period. IIRC the Monitor was marketed to law enforcement.

I would be curious to know if they changed to a new vest with each round they shot or if the same vest took all those same shots. Based on the blood-stains it looks like they shot the same single vest a bunch of times repeatedly. The efficacy of the vest is going to go down with each round fired at it.

"Bulletproof everyone" is the company that makes the real bulletproof hoody. And i believe it because the product video is of the owner taking a 9mm out of his holster and SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE GUT WITH IT. It hurt, but hes alive, all one take and i believe it.
