Ebay Kevlar vs REAL police-issued Kevlar
Added 2019-12-27 03:34:33 +0000 UTCIn this video we try to answer some of the questions viewers had about the sketchy ebay body armor. How does it compare to what the police use? Many people also thought hollow points were more powerful than FMJ's, and that short barrels were more powerful than the 10" barrels we used in the first video. Thanks Hollywood.

Back panel deformation in clay block was 1.25 inches in police panel and 1.50 inches in "no name" panel which is 120% . It would seem that the per mm protection is comparable.

2019-12-29 09:42:57 +0000 UTCI wonder if pointy rounds like Hornady ballistic tip in .22 mag or 5.7 from a pistol would go through?

2019-12-27 20:46:02 +0000 UTCI've got to wonder how much difference in back-face deformation is informed by the inertia of the plate. If it's easy, I'd be curious to see another test where ballast is attached to one of the small plates.

2019-12-27 07:24:18 +0000 UTCIs it worth 108.00
