I saw a similar report and was wondering what type of carry piece would suffice for that kind of armor. The two I came up with (and I don't know if they would succeed) was a .357 or perhaps the FN-5.7. - any thoughts?
I have been told that the shooter was only wearing a simple tactical vest (no armor) so my question above is only for education and doesn't necessarily pertain to the Colorado incident.
I read a statement from the Company that sold the vest today.
That said it was NOT Body armor.
Just a tactical vest
Anything would have got his attention.
It’s like throwing a 1200 to 1500 fps brick at him.
The armor may stop penetration, but that jasper would be rattled enough to throw him of his game.
