What level is standard police armor? This is from the National Institute of JusticeCan standard issue “police department” body armor withstand a .50 round?
Say from 25 yards.
If yes, can the wearer withstand the impact?
What level is standard police armor? This is from the National Institute of JusticeAren’t most citizens prohibited from possessing body armor? The bill , created by politicians, is meant to clap down on citizens legal possession of firearm and ammo, therefore I doubt police were asked for their input.
Wonder if they asked Antifa or BLM./s

Depends on the .50 round...Barrett rifle or handgun? A .50 Barrett, at 25 yards, would kill someone without a doubt. I don't know much about body armor but a Barrett at 25 yards is lethal no matter how you look at it. These days .50 rifle round runs at $4.00 so pretty spendy.
Some .50 handgun rounds are more serious than others. Some would be lethal at 25 yards with body armor, some would do some pretty serious bruising.
Just my two cents.
BMG? No and neither could the guy behind him.
I’m pretty sure standard body armor will not stop any high velocity rifle ammunition, only pistol. So it wouldn’t stop a 5.56 or a 30.06, much less a .50 caliber round.
