Canadian Military Kevlar Cut outs.

[Frontier Firearms]

We have just posted 30+ pieces of Kevlar Cut Outs To the Site. These came from The Canadian Army. They attempted to take Raw Kevlar Sheets and cut them into the shape of vests. We are not sure if they were issued or not, but we now have them in our possession. Pictures are shown for reference only. Panels are sold by the single piece based on size. Longest number being the width x the height as shown in the picture.

We tested this a few years ago. The pictures were uploaded on an old picture service that we no longer use so they are not visible.

For a while we have been asked about what the level of protection is on the bulk Kevlar that we have sold. We decided to test it out.

Test 1, 9mm Luger Fired from a handgun.

The bullet was able to penetrate 4 Layers of Kevlar. To get an idea of how much this is, there is 30 Layers on each piece. Each piece is aprox 7mm Thick. It only took aprox 1mm Of Kevlar to stop the 9mm Luger.

Test 2, 9mm Luger Fired from a 18.6" Sub 2000 Rifle.

The next test came as quite a surprise. The bullet was able to go through 12 Layers of Kevlar or aprox 2.8mm of a 7mm Thick piece!

It is interesting to note the conditions of the 9mm rounds retrieved. The round fired from the Sub 2000 (on the right) was deformed and flattened significantly more than the bullet from the handgun. While the 9mm is far from been a hunting round, the power from the 18.6" barrel is significant in penetration is significant.
