I remember an old Soldier of Fortune magazine showed a titanium vest penetrated by a .303 Lee-Enfield during the early 80s Soviet Afghan war. The titanium vest was said to be worn by a Soviet colonel or general officer.

Not thick enough. But of course it’s always a trade-off. How much does “thick enough” weigh, and what can you do if you’re carrying that much weight just to be “safe” ?
