Bulletproof Clothing

How far would you go to prove a tank-top is bulletproof?
Even putting your spouse in harms way?

Well, this man Miguel Caballero from South America is proving the effectiveness of his bulletproof clothing line by shooting his wife.
This Colombian couple makes high-end bulletproof clothing and tactical gear that seems to be under the radar to the general public.
From bulletproof vests, leather jackets and bulletproof backpacks to even tank tops, this lightweight Kevlar armor is quite popular these days.
Civilians and law enforcement alike are buying up ballistic protection like never before.
Miguel Caballero is well-known for his bulletproof fashion in Columbia.

With this high-end protective clothing there’s nothing that can go wrong, right?
Pretty risky, a small mistake and it’s game over.
You better understand each armor’s protection level, as a hot .357 Magnum or .44 Magnum would still put a hurting on you.
Ballistic protection has come a long way with better National Institute of Justice standards and lighter-weight materials. See the video footage of bulletproof clothing here.

Okay, enough. Away with this unsafe practices blog pimp. This is beneath FR. I’ve had it with this spammer.

Watched the video. Not exactly a full power .357 load there. Very little recoil, no deformation of the vest from the impact of the projectile (if there even was one, it looks like a blank to me,) and subsequently no projectile falling to the floor or buried in the vest.

Had that been a real test, she would have had the wind knocked out of her, a nasty bruise, and lots of pain from a point blank .38 special load.

If I’d shot mine when I first wanted, I’d have been out by now.

This is the guy who posted graphic gunshot wound images under the topic ‘humor’. Don’t know why he wasn’t booted then.

[null and void]

Too true, and I’d still have half my stuff!

Welcome to the club.

W1N1 is actually working for the other side... obviously.

I have a hard time understanding how he's still posting his clickbait here, frankly.

And I notice that he is wearing ear protection, but she is not.

Bullet RESISTANT....big enough bullet will penetrate anything. Armor vs. projectile is a 2000 year old battle. Sometimes armor wins out, until someone invents a better projectile.

These AM Shooting Journal bits are sketchy at best.

Even a .22 short would leave a painful mark.
