What its made of and what the ammunition looks like inside?
Well, I certainly have, and recently I was granted that exact opportunity.
Legacy Safety and Security graciously allowed me to test their soft body armor.
I received their Dual Threat, NIJ compliant panels which protect against gun and knife threats.
Each 1012 panel weighs a mere 1.25 lbs.
and has an MSRP of $64.99.
I have utilized different types of armor in the past but nothing this light.
I utilized different shooters, guns, and ammunition to get a broad spectrum of results.
We also conducted a stab test.
We tested .38 special, 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 mag.
Ammunition testing was even more impressive.
Out of 26 layers, only one round made it to layer 8.
The rest didnt pass layer 3.
The remaining layers are purposely there for BFD (Backface Deformation).
BFD is the bulging that occurs on the opposite side of where the bullet hits.
This bulging can be powerful enough to cause serious injury even without bullet penetration.
This is measured by placing clay behind the armor.
After shooting, the indentation is measured.
The Dual Threat panels are solely for protection against blade and handgun rounds.
The need for body armor stretches from military and law enforcement to other civilian uses that bear great validity.
This opens an entire world of new possibilities for civilian usage.
