The AK-47 also has all the power of a .30-30 deer rifle, (As in not thru a vest),

What vest? You stand 100 yds from my SKS with your vest. Make your will first...

Sounds like a "Hold muh beer and watch this" opportunity.

Modern body armor, with the trauma plates, is WAY better than our old flak jackets. I've seen a War Porn of an Army Medic taking a bullet in the vest from an AK, which knocks him down. He gets up, winded but OK, and he winds up working on the rag head who tried to kill him. Trauma plates work.

(I'm too old. I would have let the goat humper bleed out.)
