Most of the “flak jackets” are mostly for concussion and shrapnel. Some small arms. To be bullet proof you need a minimum of Level III or IV ceramic or ballistic steel plates (too heavy to wear) that fit into pockets in the vest.
Your vest can be “bullet proof”, but the energy from the bullet is still going to be displaced into its target.

demands exective action.

not congress.
just imperial fiat.
This reporter should be fired on the spot, their journalism degree revoked, and soundly ridiculed for stupidity.

‘7n6 5.45mm’
Not familiar with that round, had mine in .30-06, all stolen now along with pretty much everything I had put back for troubles to come. Lost my M1 also. Didn’t get everything though.
To: Blood of Tyrants
Maybe a low power round like from an AR-15, but not a full power round, if he was using an actual sniper rifle. I’m not sure what gun the guy in Dallas was using though, I’ve seen conflicting reports.
To: CommerceComet
Military body armor has plates in it so that the whole plate absorbs the impact of the bullet. They are supposed to be able to stop any caliber up to .30-06 AP.

Pis show what experts are saying is an AK-74 which shoots the relatively low powered 5.45 x 39.

Scott Pelley is a fifth-column leftist media Obama buttboy.Can't stand him . The latest in a string of anchors that have had me avoiding CBS for years.
The last time I watched CBS was the day before the Grenada invasion.
The CBS anchor (Rather?) jumped all over Reagan on a speech he hadn't even delivered yet!
Last time I've watched CBS evening news. Have run across it a few times, enough to reinforce my boycott.

"Can't stand him . The latest in a string of anchors that have had me avoiding CBS for years."It doen't make any difference. You'll pin the needle on the Pukemeter just as much watching the leftist excrement of Lester, David, or Gwen.
