I grabbed this for those less desirable cities and locations, so I do not look like I'm headed into battle, when im just doing electrical contracting work.
It would have to be a perfect hit over the heart and most likely wouldn’t stop it cause sternum. Also there’s tests with ballistics dummies and it just breaks some ribs. Nothing lethal.
I don't think #00 Buck would have any effect, but I definitely hate to be busted with that slug, that some sore if not broken ribs. I wonder if this type of armor would be good for kids' backpacks, especially at the college level?
@@franksparks1126 they have a panel with this now, I got their older stuff for backpacks, adds a little weight but takes up room. This stuff would be much lighter, though still not rifle rated.
Man I was surprised when the slugs didn’t go through it’s going to hurt like a mf . Def will break your ribs but you should live . Unless something freakish happens and you puncture your lung from breaking your ribs . But you shouldn’t get shot with a shotgun unless you’re doing something illegal
I’ve shot a few vests with 1oz slugs. If it’s a true rated 3A, it should stop a slug. And Kevlar is not cut resistant, slash or stab proof. So knifes will have no issue with it. They are not made to be cut proof.
@@Cpt_JohnRackham nothing is proof. Not all their vests are stab resistant. They are also not NIJ certified. I wouldn’t trust anything just because there are videos that say they are and people doing stuff to them. Unless you buy it and do it yourself you never know for sure. Been a cop for 25 years, there are lighter and thinner vests out there that are NIJ certified. I have seen the SafeLife vests in person, in their own showroom in Vegas. They are still thick and heavier. They are about the same as getting a Galls brand vest from Galls. The PointBlank one I have is way lighter, and has a lot more molle on it. But nothing is stab proof or bullet proof. I also never said they didn’t have vests that are not stab resistant. I said KEVLAR is not cut, slash or stab proof. It’s the other materials in the vest that offer the slash and stab protection, it’s not the Kevlar.
A slug would probably shatter your rib cage locally. Survival would be questionable, and you would almost certainly not be able to continue defending yourself (if you would even be conscious).
Depends on the range it is shot from. Getting hit with a slug at 7 feet away is very close quarters, and unlikely if your a moving target. But yeah internal damage would be great. But if at a distance and velocity is slowing, it should be survivable. Broken ribs or collapsed lung is still better than it shattering everything and taking it out your back. I have also had to shoot a cow in the head 3 times with a slug about 10 feet away and it didn’t do anything but small entrance holes in the skull, no exit, and it was still moving for a couple minutes after until it finally let go. I was surprised at the lack of damage for 3 rounds to the back of the head.
@@TheDavidG27 does that matter. Every single TH-camr test resulted in it stopping practically anything even with a ridiculous amount of multiple hits. Why would ya care about such a stamp when the extreme testing is before your eyes time and time again?
@@TransformersHoarderSomething the NIJ takes into consideration when certifying armor is also the back face deformation. That's something that most the guy in the video didn't talk much about.
I purchased this particular ballistic armor a couple of months ago with the expectation of being able to wear it for at least 8 to 12 hours or more. However I quickly found that this was NOT the case ! For me this was NOT worth the over $1,000.00 price tag. Very uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time !! It doesn't do any good if you can't wear it !!
The 22 magnum hits you as hard as a standard 38 revolver and it doesn’t matter how long the barrel is or how short is it still hits the same and I love the 22 magnum for a handgun just saying God bless everybody take care of you guys
I don't think that vest cared that is doesn't have some special letters on it. A brick wall doesn't have nij certified on it so if you are being shot at and you have a brick wall your not gonna get behind it because it's not NIJ certified?
@Guns Fugitives Security They sell one set of 3A panels that I can find that is certified "NIJ .06 CERTIFIED MODEL". Clearly, they know how to do that and can afford it. So why didn't or wouldn't they?
@@TheDavidG27 because NIJ does weird durability tests that don’t involve guns. For example they put in water and vigorously shake it with a machine among other weird tests. Vast majority of shootings don’t require those.

That slug would definitely have collapsed lungs and most likely stopped heart.

Would have been interested in buckshot first before slug.

Having worn some form of body armor since the 90s, it was designed to keep you alive, not from being injured.
It would have been nice to see those Underwood .357 SIG Xtreme Defenders. 2100 fps out of a Glock 32.

Thank You 🙏
Do you think you could do another video with a clay background behind it to actually show what the bullet would actually push into the body cavity?
That’s what I was thinking

Keep in mind folks that no vest is not better than wearing a vest, ever. Most of these comments are being made by folks that do not own any vest
Would have liked to see the back of the handgun-shot plates outside of the carrier.
I have a question do recommend RTS tacical or any other company for the concealed vest.
You have to do more videos with that new vest
May stop a slug but guaranteed a rib or two WILL break. lol

California just filed an appeal in the hand gun roster case!!!!!
No blunt trama protection?
I wonder if a Underwood 9mm 68gr +P+ or 9mm 65gr +P+ out of a 16" barrel traveling at 2100fps would do.
That 9mm round out of a 16” barrel would be close but I’m thinking it’ll be stopped. Maybe not stopping 357 Sig.
@@TransformersHoarder 😂🫢🤔🤭😂
That's at the top range rating for this vest. Would possibly pass through.
The question I would ask is, how long will it last, in years, ty. Acm in Alaska
I understand 5 years but not sure if those temps increase or decrease lifespan.
Five years is only a warranty period, not a true lifespan. If you take reasonable care, that armor should easily last a decade if not two.
Are there expiration dates on those
So these vest are legit?
No. Not NIJ certified.

With the slug, your back would be broken but no slug would be in you.

Don't believe that hype! Forget that V Shape Superman panel, what about the Velcro areas?😮
Take a closer look at the video again when he pulls the panel out. The v shape is just external. The actual panel wraps around the

This guy lost all credibilty after the slug. Please stop. The armor is good but don't be a schill.
