That’s pretty cool demonstration, this guy has guts! And they are saying that the cost of this vest is 110 pounds =$220 Can... sounds pretty cheap to me!

Second Chance had a video out in the early to mid 80’s with the owner using a 44 mag wheel gun, and a 7.62, FN FAL on another fellow while wearing his products.

This demonstration is really dumb ... no safety glasses or hearing protection. Risky to say the least!

I wonder if he would be willing to do that with soft armor? Also that plate seemed a little thicker than any level 4 plate I have seen before. I wonder if it was made extra thick for this PR stunt.

Didn't the Russian Special Forces have to shoot each other (wearing a vest) as part of their training? Thought I saw a vid on this somewhere?\

Edit - Here it is

Most plates are ceramic or steel. They said this one is some sort of polyethylene so makes sense it may be a bit thicker.

It looks like one of those foamy pads used for house insulation, Lol! But in that case it should also be very light weigh.
