“but yes, kevlar will stop most handgun rounds...and i believe the military has great use for them..the ones that need the most protection are the soldiers who are going out to engage the enemy in combat”
Mojo from what I understand there is 3 different levels of vests. A 1,2, or 3. The 3 is for the hardest or amping the hardest hitting. 357 sig and 44 magnum pistols. Most if not all vests accept plates front and back.
The most important thing here is weight.... to be continued...
Mojo, I understand the role of hard shock plates in bullet-resistant vests quite well. What I don't understand is: Why use both Kevlar and the shock plates? Assuming there is some benefit, it is likely the case that the stiff Kevlar fabric serves to translate the impact force laterally and thereby widen the effective impact zone on the shock plate.
Note this is only a conjecture on my part. I'm interested in the physics underlying the situation. That's what I was trying to ask.
