How Strong is bulk Kevlar? How Powerful is the 9mm Luger?

[scourge18a]

Do you know the approximate size of kevlar in the 6 lb ammo box? Is it 1 piece?
Or conversely, approximately how much does a 55x17" ish chunk weigh?

[Frontier Firearms]

The 6LBS can could be any size or number of pieces. The individual pieces are around 8 LBS.

If you are looking to make a target stop, its best to order by the pieces specified under the link.

If you bond the layers it works better. Wired up a machine for that once

The Irish level 4 vests that you have listed, I assume there must be some sort of hard plate in there? What material is that plate made of? Thanks eh

[Dodo Dug]

Very interesting test!

Subbing!!

Half of the vests have no size or what is not rated? Condition ? Level of protection?

Do you have any still for sale?

I have a bunch of yellow, none of the white.

Interesting fact, a 7.62x39 steel core will stop at around 150 layers of the yellow Kevlar.

5.56 blasts through.

Was the 5.56 round a Green tip?

I doubt it would matter. Its the velocity that makes it zip through. You need something that breaks up the bullet in order to catch it.
