I am living proof that these things work. I took an AK round square in the middle of my chest during a firefight back in 2004. My SAPI plate stopped it and all I had to show for it was two cracked ribs, bruises in the outline of my dogtags and soiled underwear. The rag who shot me did not fare nearly as well thanks to my guys.

I remember going out on an ambush in '68, we were walking to the main gate at Cu Chi before the gates closed and some dude driving a M151 skidded to a halt after a gun shot.

The guy driving the Jeep took a round in the back through two layers of his flack jacket, draped over his seat. One of our medically inclined did a quick survey and found a surface wound, scraped the round out with a knife.

You guys have a lot better stuff than we did, we used to call the inserts that Huey gunners wore "Chicken Plates"

Glad to hear it. My brother was saved by a Second Chance vest years ago when he was working as a security guard. Nothing as powerfull as an Ak round though.

After all the articles slamming the body armor our folks are wearing (like my own kid currently in the green zone), I thought this one showed the up side we’ll never hear on CNN.

Wow.
