These guys have to be the worlds biggest morons, complete idiots, all of them. Never, ever, ever try this. Also, note, there is some language, so NSFW without headphones.
Video on site, you can also find it on metacafe I think. Here is

Used to be called “Hold muh beer” moments.
While it didn’t work this time, these guys will almost certainly remove themselves from the gene pool before too much longer.
Ooops, looks like it cut off the rest of my post, when I used html. Guess I shouuld have previews, sorry!
And the idiot shoots him right over the heart. I have seen another video using a 22lr which is still beyond stupid.
“Used to be called “Hold muh beer” moments.”
Also known as; “Hey fellas, look at this...”
Heh heh. I always use “Preview”. I have to. Everytime. :-)
LOL!!
No recoil.
The bullet went in 1.5 inches and lodged an inch away from his heart. I wonder what level vest he had on?
I’m glad I don’t have friends that would do this even if I was dumb enough to ask them.
The guy wants to be a cop.

fake, fake, fake.
don’t get me wrong, they’re still stupid, but the whole scene is faked. No recoil. No reaction from the impact. A 9mm has an appreciable recoil and I’ve got to think the recipient of the blast would nearly be knocked over.
Why don’t they examine the vest and look for the slug on the video?
Obviously, not high enough. Either that, or they should return the vest and ask for refund, with the video as "evidence".
Was the bullet still in the muscle, or had it penetrated? Lucky he didn't break a rib or his breastbone.
There’s no such thing as a bulletproof vest.
It was only a 9mm and penetrated the light vest (fewest layers of Kevlar). 9mm hurts terribly, BTW, even with a level 3 vest. Certain big game loads from certain revolvers (300+ gr., over 1300 fps) will cause at least too much bruising trauma and/or kill through a level 3 vest. Shotgun slugs hit them way too hard, possible killing at short range (fractures, bruising) and at least incapacitating. Many rifle rounds will go right through them.
Train more to hit first and accurately. Also train to hit without sights (most encounters close, *dark*, fast, most aimers hit too low and slow in the dark), and train to make the best use of cover.

If anything could possibly make him look any more stupid than the original video did, it is this TV interview. "Moron" doesn't even come close.
