I was watching a YouTube video the other day, a gun tester testing shotgun rounds on behalf of someone else. The slugs had some kind of metal screws encased in glass, fitted to shotgun cartridges. When fired at a Kevlar bulletproof vest, the glass shattered and fully penetrated the vest in multiple locations shredding it. The wearer would not survive. Of course, a round to the head would have the same effect. Just saying, having a vest is nice but not a sure thing for survival. Scary, but at least a vest is some protection versus none.

Kevlar does not work against knives or flechette rounds.
