What's it like being shot wearing KEVLAR body armor

In this video we shoot some level IIIa soft body armor. Even though this was expired, it performed nearly as well as it would new. We discovered a fatal-flaw in this type of armor, however.

Interesting and informative vid. The Kevlar may stop the round but one should not underestimate (as the vid demos) the damage that the transfer of kinetic energy has on bones and organs. This can easily be just as lethal. Better than having a bullet tear through you but sometimes not by much. Hard to survive with shattered ribs poking into pulverized lungs or doing anything with a bruised heart - which is conveniently located pretty much centre mass.

#2 Pussy weakling 1 :'( {You also win; you get to be a vagina for a year}
#3 Pussy weakling 2 :'( {You also win; you get to be a year's supply of tampons}

#1 Not pussy weakling + smart.
#4 Not pussy weakling + compassionate.
You both win 3 weeks every month with #2 for a year, have fun!

Good video overall! :D
