Excellent points. I do believe there's quite a few myths about body armor that has most people believing that they magically protect a wearer from any harm. I also believe that this has to do with the use of body armor in movies where the hero takes two or three rounds and goes on to win the day.
If this were true, why do we have soldiers and police dying from bullet wounds? They minimize the trauma for the most part, not eliminate it.
