Body Armor

Friday, February 1, 2013 22:53

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Lets discuss the next thing the “Powers that be” will try to restrict. Body Armor. Body Armor is broken down in to several different classes. Cheaper Than Dirt describes them like this…

Body Armor

The most important thing to understand is that there is no such thing as a “Bulletproof” vest.

There are varying levels of bullet-resistance as standardized by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ).

NIJ BODY ARMOR CLASSIFICATION

Personal body armor covered by this standard is classified into five types (IIA, II, IIIA, III, and IV) by level of ballistic performance.

Soft armor vests stop pistol and fragmentation threats, but it takes a hard armor plate to stop a rifle bullet.

· SOFT ARMOR

Level IIA Stops 9 mm and 40 S&W

Level II Stops .357 Magnum

Level IIIA Stops .357 SIG and .44 Magnum

· HARD ARMOR

Level III Stops Most Rifle calibers, including .308 FMJ (Will not stop .223 or 5.56mm)

Level IV Stops Armor Piercing Rifle, including Armor Piercing .30-06.

Most hard armor plates are meant only to be used in conjunction with soft armor underneath. (I.e. A level III plate over level IIIA soft armor.)

Here is a good site for researching and purchasing body armor…
