1. Actually it’s not bulletproof

The reality of bulletproof vests is that they are not bulletproof, they are actually bulletproof. The reality is that bulletproof vests cannot protect the wearer from all threats. Nothing is bulletproof. In rare cases, bullets can pass through vests that are believed to stop them. The bullet may have jagged edges or something similar. Bulletproof vests will not make the wearer a superman.

2. Understand how fabrics stop bullets

The body armour is composed of very strong non-woven fabric or woven ballistic fibre. This material can stop bullets, similar to the way a net stops tennis or volleyball. It turns the bullet, slows its speed and transfers its energy to the entire panel. Bullet mushrooms, which help this process. Remember, the slower the bullet, the better for the wearer. A bullet with a hard tip or fired at a high speed will pass through the fibre and directly through the bulletproof vest.
