Will the “thug prepper’s” body armor stop 30-06 AP?

Didn’t think so.

Who cares about body armor? I intend to unload in his face.

I’ve got enough Lake City black tip 30.06 on hand to find out.

"Type IV" body armor is supposed to stop 30-06 AP, but I'm fairly sure it's expensive and the bulk of the "thug preppers" won't have it.

Nothing short of Type IV can be expected to stop 03-06 AP bullets.

Body armor? Most people in SHTF situations won’t have it unless they’ve taken it from police. And - only the highest levels can stop rifle projectiles - the class II police use can be made into swiss cheese by a Winnie ‘94 30-30.
